100 Posts!

This is my 100th blog post.  And I really wanted it to be deep, and meaningful and inspirational.  I truly wanted to motivate you all.  I've been putting off writing a post so that this 100th one would be special.  But, I am not feeling it.  Apparently, my happy pills don't cure PMS.  That bitch on wheels week leading up to my period isn't going to go away.  I was really hoping I wouldn't get quite as "hormonal" now, but, I was wrong.  Sorry.  I think everyone around me suffers more than I do.  Maybe I have PMDD, I should ask at my next appointment.  Maybe I can get more drugs!

So, aside from my female problems, I do have some goodness to report.  I am officially back in the saddle again.
I got the trainer from Kristin on Sunday afternoon.  She is letting me borrow it until I get my own or she needs it.  I am so grateful!  And I am also very out of shape.  I may be at one of my lowest weights of my adult life, but that does not make me in shape.  30 minutes on the bike almost killed me!  And one down fall of the trainer so far, unlike being on the bike out on the road, if I get tempted to give up, I could just stop.  If I were to head out for a 15 mile ride outside, I have to finish, or I won't make it home!  But, I will be biking every night that I can't make it to the Y.  And judging by weather forecasts, that might be happening a lot in the near future.  So, I will be in awesome bike shape soon!

So, that is my 100th post.  WOO HOO!  Not really very exciting, but, you did get a sweaty picture of me.  And I hate having my picture taken, so consider yourself blessed!

Today Sucks

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary.  Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of me finding out about the other woman, and two days after that is when we agreed to end the marriage.  This weekend I'm moving out of my house.  Basically the week sucks.  Then throw in the anniversary of my miscarriage fourth of July weekend, and I may as well put myself back in the psych ward for the next 3 weeks.  Yesterday I spent the day mourning what had been my life.  The boys went with their dad for father's day, and I lay in bed sobbing and crying and wishing it would all go away.  I remembered all of the awesome fun times we had as a family.  I thought about our wedding day, the days the boys were born.  The fun times we had together.  Tonight they will be with him too.  I'm going to go for a long ride and run, and then come home and probably cry just a little more.  Then, tomorrow, I will move on.  I will pick up the pieces...

Nutrition Failure

I have three main obstacles preventing me from being the best possible triathlete I could be.  Two of them I have no control over, time and money.  I can't make more hours in the day than there are, and my money situation isn't going to change any time soon.  The third obstacle is my nutrition.  This is the one area that I can fix, and I'm having a very hard time with it.  I want to eat right, and want to fuel my body properly, but need lots of help in this area. Now that the holiday's are past, and we are back into more of a normal routine, I'm trying to force myself into healthy eating habits, and trying to drag the two non-willing members of my family with me.  The trouble is, I'm not really good at the planning healthy meals.  Dinner's I'm pretty good at.  I have been getting better and better at planning a weeks worth of healthy meals, and the boys usually eat them.  But breakfast and lunch I'm not so good at.  Especially since I ...

Triathlon Ramblings

My first triathlon of the season is four weeks from today.  I'm pretty sure I am going to bonk, hard core, but I will finish the race on my own two feet.  This training as a single mom is a little harder than I thought.  Especially with both boys having activities that take up time.  I'm hoping to get on the bike  course at least once prior to the race.  Was supposed to ride today, but my training partner got scared off by the rain.  I still love her any way.  Came to the realization this afternoon that Green Lakes tri takes place on what will most likely be day two of my cycle.  This is not a good thing.  Really hope I'm late this cycle, so that I don't have to worry about it.  I know you don't need to know this, but it's kind of freaking me out.   One thing I had hoped to avoid until I don't feel like a newbie triathlete anymore.   Sometimes men don't know how easy they have it!   Really would still appreciat...
