For the past two years I have gotten up at 5 a.m. three mornings a week to work out. The purpose of this was to lose those pesky 20 pounds that I still carry on me from when I was pregnant with E. As you can see from a recent post she just had her NINTH birthday. This training has worked out somewhat the way I wanted. I have completed two triathlons. For the second one I even did pretty well.
But here is the deal - this year I have a big birthday coming up. Aging is not a big deal for me but the fact that I still do not weigh what I weighed when I become pregnant with E is a big deal. And trust me I have tried EVERY fad diet on the planet. So now I need to push myself harder.
Here is my goal -I am going to train for a race that is very hard for me. I am going back to eating very healthy like I do during tri training season. Because before this big birthday I want to weigh the same that I did almost 10 years ago.
And if I fail - by the end of June I have to post a picture of myself on this blog wearing a bathing suit (oh I hate that thought). For the only four people (maybe five) who know about this blog - remind me. I need a consequence.
I read a study where they did that to people - challenged them to lose weight by a certain date and if they did not they would post a modest picture of them on the web in their bathing suits. 85% lost the weight. I really do not want to post that picture - so wish me luck.
