In the beginning

Here I go!

While hanging out at preschool last week a mommy mentioned to me that I should look at doing the Danskin Triathalon in August. She knows I recently taken on running and plan on doing Beat the Bridge (5 miles) in May. The Danskin is something I had secretely looked at doing the past few years, but I kept saying, "when I'm skinnier, I'll do it." But skinnier never came, and then something happened. I turned 30. I had enough of putting my life on hold because of my weight.

So in October I hired a trainer and started working out with her once a week. And the strangest thing happened. I realized I actually enjoy working out, sickening I know!!! Now the weight didn't drop off liked I hoped but I am 20lbs lighter then I was when I got pregnant. Slow and steady wins the race, right? But I did notice myself getting stronger and breathing easier during my workouts.

Okay, back to the traiathalon (more background history later), so any-who, I realized where does it was that you have to be a 110lbs to do a triathalon? Why can't I do it at (cough-cough) 230 pounds? Gosh darn it, I can do it!!!! I'm going to prove to myself that weight is just a number and that I am a strong women who can give those skinny b$&@! a run for their money.

So here I go training for my first sprint triathalon. 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3.1 mile run. And blogging something both totally new to this stay-at-home mommy.

K, now that I laid done some back ground, funnier and inspirational blogs are to come.

Lord, give me strength!!!!
