I hate to record that big gain for the week, but it is after coming home from vacation. I have just over a week till my triathlon so I am in focus mode and know I will get it right back down and hopefully lower too by next week Sat.
We had a great vacation in Colorado visiting my husband's family and had a little family reunion too. Too much cumulative eating too much over the week including fast food for our 18 hour drive both ways caused a gain. The good news is that my exercise was fantastic while we were there. I loved it all! In the 6 days, my exercise inlcuded:
-1 walk
-3 swims in a pool
-1 open water swim in a lake
-1 hr 20 min bike ride- very challenging up hard hills
-1 hike in a canyon
-Several hours of beach volleyball
-3.1 mile run
Last night I hit the gym again and did weights, biked 4 miles and ran 1 mile also. So, I am very pleased with all that. It was inspiring to ride and run looking at the Rocky Mountains ahead! I loved it.
So now I need to focus in my last week ahead here before the tri! I am excited and ready and hoping the humidity won't be terrible next week. It is actually cool right now but could go back to blazing hot in an instant. I also twisted my knee slightly playing volleyball so I am hoping that won't get worse. It's been good enough to run on so far.
I will check in with some journals now- sorry I have been absent. I really value your encouragement so thanks for that!
