- I was down 2 pounds this week to 191 even. I swear it seems like one week I’ll be down a few pounds, the next week up a little bit and then down 2 pounds the next week. Whatever! I’ll take it. Again, I know I’m doing the right things so the scale just needs to follow my lead.
- I take pictures every month for my Precision Nutrition program. This is the third set of pictures I’ve taken. When I compare this month’s pictures with the first month’s set I see a dramatic difference in the stomach area. There is still a lot of work to be done but I am so encouraged.
- I went biking yesterday at the Silver Comet. So.much.fun! We did 10 miles in about an hour. After logging into SparkPeople, I realized that this is a pretty slow pace. I haven’t ridden a bike in years though so it worked for me. I want more.
- The first 5 miles of the ride was easy…almost too easy. I had to shift gears to 7 (the max) so that I could feel like I was doing some work. The second five was a lot more challenging and my thighs were really feeling it. I found myself going much faster (and leaving behind the crew I was with LOL) because I just wanted it to be over.
- The fun bike ride has me thinking triathlon again. There is a sprint tri here in August that I am really considering. I’m going to have to think hard on this one. My swim skills are limited (even after taking lessons last year) and very rusty. I never managed to swim a full lap of the pool. How can I swim 400 yards?
- I took Lewis and my new BOB Revolution out to the park to test out the 5K course for the race in a few weeks. The BOB has a really smooth ride and pushing the kid around didn’t seem too bad. This was a much better experience than my attempts at running with my Graco Snap-N-Go frame. It is kind of awkward to run without pumping your arms though.
- We are doing the baby tour thing next week so I will be on the road for a week heading to Charleston and Richmond. I am working hard on getting a workout plan together so I don’t lose my momentum on the trip.
- Nutrition is HARD when you don’t have control over your food because you are staying with someone else. I feel fine hitting the grocery store at my parents’ house, but I feel funny doing the same at my mother-in-law’s house. I don’t know what I’m going to do about that. I can only eat so many fast food salads.

Eating right while traveling is hard. If your MIL is a hospitable hostess, she shouldn’t have a problem with you buying your own food to stay on course. then again, my MIL visited us for 7 weeks and stocked our pantry, fridge and freezer with so much junk food I nearly lost my mind. I am so jealous that you got a BOB!
She probably won’t mind. I just feel kind of funny about doing it. I’m going to have to get over it because I can’t be there for 4 days eating who-knows-what or even worse starving myself for hours on end and getting off my typical eating schedule.
I keep hearing great things about the BOB. I don’t run enough to justify getting one at the moment. Your fitness posts are inspiring. I am waiting for the 6 week mark so I can start back on some sort of fitness plan.
