Since my last triathlon I've started a new job and the winter season has set in. With the challenges of working in the shipyard and colder weather, I've decreased the level of energy I've spent preparing for 2015 triathlons.
But lets back up a bit. I also have a wife, a kid, live on a horse farm, and am working on "making the new house our home." I can acknowledge that I have legitimate jobs, tasks, and responsibilities that are rightly prioritized higher than triathlon training. That will never change. As I (hopefully) continue on this journey of fitness what I intend to accomplish is efficiency of training and efficiency while training. With the limited amount of time I have I shall be smart about scheduling my training, and while training I must put forth an honest effort.
Lastly, eating. Still my Achilles heal, food is so good and such a soothing feeling that I fear the goal I set one year ago is still unaccomplished. I am approximately the same weight, 220-222 pounds. There was some gain across the 220 pound threshold during the holiday season and I feel that I have arrested that increase. I would love to say that I'm losing the weight now and on my way down. Maybe by the end of February I'll be at 210. Nice thoughts.
