The Triathlon happened. It was amazing and while I was thinking during the end “I’m never doing this again…”, every time I think back I think I want to do it again!
I really need to dedicate an entire post to how it made me feel, the emotions and how I feel it brought me full circle and I could and should actually be proud of myself.
Though I don’t have a particular goal now, such as a mega event, I have continued to track my workouts – trying to stick with at least two a week – surprisingly thought, I haven’t swam since the event…
How’s that going? Well I’m still between 8.8 – 9 stone – which I’m happy with. I’m focusing a lot on toning in some areas over muscle build. I’m having difficulty concentrating, which means I often need to switch activities every 20 minutes, but I’m working on building up stamina and power on the cardio machines. My workouts consist of 30-40 minutes of cardio followed by 20 mins of muscle focus.
There is definitely a difference in my tone, which is good and I’m getting compliments, which is great – I just have to keep at it because it takes only a few days of doing nothing to start seeing negative results and a couple of weeks to get back into shape! My goal is to not take any backwards steps.
