Training is going “swimmingly”! (Sorry) We’ve started having two workouts a day, either swim/run or bike/strength. That's one in the morning, and one after work.
It has been tough getting my body adjusted to the changes. I had some wooziness issues the past couple of workouts that I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of…come to find out that I haven’t changed my eat habits at all! I was eating healthily enough, no burgers or candy bars. But I was eating the same as when I was trying to lose weight. I stopped counting calories a while ago, but made my habits while I still was, so I’m stuck in the mindset of small portions and little snacking. 1300-1500 calories does not support 2 hours of training a day, 6 days a week! It’s been hard to eat more... My mom’s helping by sending cookies from her bakery.
Outside of that, everything is coming along quite well. I’m finally starting to get the hang of good swimming technique and god knows I’d ride my bike forever if there were a long enough trail. Running is slipping a little behind progress-wise. I love to run, but I’ve been so caught up in swimming and my new baby – er, bike – that I haven’t been paying it the right attention. At least I finally got a pair of shoes that don’t kill my legs.
I don’t always look forward to individual workouts, but I can’t wait to see the results when I do them. Case in point: my pants are a little more snug around the thigh...
