8/15 Weigh In Week 50

Loss for the week: +5 lbs.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:153.8 lbs.
Total loss to date:54.6 lbs.

Did you miss me last week? Something came up the week before that didn't allow me to exercise for a few days so I kinda took a break and then since we were having a staycation with family last week I took an extended break. This was kinda bad timing since I had another triathlon at the end of the week and didn't get hardly any workouts and ate out a lot. I was so worried that I'd do terrible and not have the endurance to get through it. I was wrong. It was a great experience(well, aside from the organization of the whole thing but that's another story). Not sure I'll try that approach in the future before races but nice to know that I have it in me to do it despite my training or diet. Today I'm back to reality and starting back up again. I'm sure I've said it before but it is SO hard to stick to a diet during summer when there are parties all the time. I want to be able to enjoy my summer so I hold on loosely to my diet when those things come up. I'll have all winter when I'm stuck indoors and bored to diet and exercise my brains out, I'm going to enjoy the fresh air, company of friends, and of course yummy treats. I've got 8 more weeks left that I've committed to. My schedule is looking pretty crazy in a few weeks once school starts and my new(more hours) work schedule starts. I'm wondering if I might need to re-evaluate once I get to that point. I've been at this for 50 weeks now and I don't want to miss out on life and I want to enjoy rainy days at home with the kids or other things that I would normally press on through to reach my goals.
