I've been training for 5 weeks for my triathlon

Oh my goodness, 5 weeks of training.  Swim bike run and one rest day.  I can't say the weight is falling off.  Probably because, muscle weighs more than fat and when I work out this much, I tend to eat more.  My body is burning the calories and I need to adjust my intake to much less.  So far, it's been about a pound a week, which is average.  I go up sometimes and down more times, you know 2 steps forward, one step backward.  Slow and steady wins the race!!

I looked at last years results of the triathlon I'm hoping to compete in.  The oldest women in the race were three 50 year olds.  Looking at their times, I'm a little faster in the pool than 2 of them, but, I really just want to finish.  I'll be the old lady in the group if this trend continues.  I figure, even off all 3 come back to race, they will be 51!!

Ah well, you have to have goals and things to look forward to.  Like vacation.  We haven't been on vacation since March and we hiked the Grand Canyon.  Whew!  That was something, very difficult.  Awesome experience though.  Sharing it with our daughter Chelsea was extra special.  Jennifer wasn't in shape to make the hike.  Maybe next year she will be feeling better and we can hike the Glacier National Park!
