I have finally gotten back in the pool - Yippie!!! I am so happy with that. Not only am I back in the pool but I feel like I am training appropriately for Ironman again. In all but one week this month, I was working hard and getting in workouts that I should be doing. My ability to recover has also improved which was half of my problem before. My bike miles are up, my run is coming along although not quite where it should be. I am thrilled with my athletic progress right now. I am not exactly where I was last month but I am close by (only 7 miles difference between last year and this year). I have faith in my abilities and my determination.
On the other side of this, I am not taking off any weight. I am working out hard, I am watching my food intake, I am drinking a lot of water, but I am not changing at all. This is one thing that scares me - I do not want to be carrying around this much weight on Ironman day - it was hard enough when I was 10lbs lighter. I don't want it to be harder being heavier. I will continue to work on this and hopefully, I will see change.
