The first week of my "diet", I focused on only my food. I did not swim, bike or run. It was very time consuming to prep all of my food for the week and pack my lunches. I had migraines for 3 days straight. But at the end of the week, I was feeling a lot better.
The second week I started adding athletic endeavors back into my routine. I continued to follow a strict diet, although there were events where I had to "make do" with what I could. We traveled to see Ryann at KSU and we had many meals in restaurants. I realized that it's probably not 100% clean eating, but it is pretty easy to be healthy if you just make the right choices and be sure to ask for what you want from the waitstaff.
I am now 8 pounds lighter but the big difference is how I am feeling. I am completely off my caffeine addiction and I am not consuming sugar of any kind. No dairy either...which surprisingly I don't miss at all.
My clothes are starting to feel normal again. They had become so tight and I refused to buy larger sizes. So now, even though I am pretty far from my ultimate goal, I am moving in the right direction. Losing the weight is the first step towards getting all of my training 100% back on track.
Read along with my blog as I discuss weight, schedule and life challenges as I try to get my triathlon training back on track. I will also discuss what I've learned along the way and what new goals I'm setting for myself.
