transition OPENING and body marked athletes and then handed out water and gatorade at the transition aid station.\u00a0 Body marking was super fun, and I&#8217;d do it again, but it was 2 squats per person to get the numbers on the front and back of their legs, so I did about eleventy billion bodyweight squats that morning.\u00a0 Maybe I should count 3 weights workouts last week?<\/p>\n<p><img

there&#8217;s an intentional place for everything.\u00a0 I sort of wish I had a before picture, but I&#8217;m kind of glad I don&#8217;t.\u00a0 The whole clean space on the floor between the drawers was full of crap, there was very little clear counter space, and crap was shoved in the shelves every which way.\u00a0 Also, I have a jewelry problem.\u00a0 Two weekends and about 100$ at ikea\/homegoods later?\u00a0 Voila!\u00a0 Organization!<\/p>\n<p>This stuff both makes me happy and pisses me off at the same time.\u00a0 I am looking forward to getting more rooms tackled, and also

I realized it had been at least four months since I&#8217;ve been to a social drinking establishment (not a place where I got food and a drink, but an actual bar).\u00a0 After work and gaming at work,

since&#8230; I don&#8217;t know when.\u00a0 Sometime last year perhaps?\u00a0 This is a good sign that my brain is continuing to unbreak.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not in ANY fucking hurry to do 15+ mile runs any time soon, but Saturday, I only had time to do 2 miles and I think I would have been up for about 5-6.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d sum up last week&#8217;s &#8220;training&#8221; as very little formal stuff, but lots of activity.\u00a0 The actual, trackable stuff went like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 mile easy run<\/li>\n<li>5.6 mile neighborhood bike (clip practice), 2 mile bike (on the cruiser)<\/li>\n<li>2 great heavy weights sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;and, that&#8217;s it.\u00a0 Well, including the fact that I had two 11k, three 13k, one 14k, and one almost 20k day &#8211; including Frisbee Golf and triathlon volunteer work.\u00a0 At some point, I probably need to start doing more official stuff.\u00a0 I&#8217;m just not ready to force anything yet.\u00a0 If I want to burn my calories by taking 3-4 walks a day, so be it.\u00a0 I&#8217;m especially not starting that yet.\u00a0\u00a0 But soon.\u00a0 We miss our endorphins.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

it!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In terms of food consumption and all that, I was really good last week.\u00a0 According to fitbit, I ended up averaging just about -1000 per day, which actually equates to the 2 lbs I lost.\u00a0 It&#8217;s really nice when it all makes sense and you actually get results out of hard work.<\/p>\n<p>My activity level right now is PERFECT for losing weight.\u00a0 Walking all the time and easy bike rides do nothing to raise my appetite.\u00a0 Whereas before 1200 calories was miserable, I&#8217;m looking more at 1500-1800 to stay -1000, and it&#8217;s amazingly easier to be a person and also lose weight at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve reintroduced the recommended daily allowance of veggies and fruits, vitamins, and water to my diet as well.\u00a0 I&#8217;d say I was about 5\/7 days on the first two, but drank water like a champ.<\/p>\n<p>As for this week, my goals are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep up with the water, vitamins, 2 weights sessions per week and 5 freggies a day.\u00a0 Also, be as good as this week with the calorie counts as I was this week.<\/li>\n<li>Get a haircut.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s getting crazy scraggly, and soon I&#8217;ll be in the water all the time and not want to put up with a mid-back length mop.<\/li>\n<li>Finish up the other surfaces in the bedroom (dressers, nightstands).\u00a0 This should literally take us 20 minutes.\u00a0 No excuses.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s grey and cold today, but tomorrow it gets really nice for the rest of the week if weather.com is to be believed.\u00a0 Get all the chores done today and then go. play. outside.\u00a0 Fishing, kayaking, s&#8217;uping, swimming, biking, running.\u00a0 Even if it&#8217;s just for a little bit if I&#8217;m busy or really hungry and wanting dinner when I get off
