235!!!!

I did it!!! I lost 2.5 pounds this week and broke the 20 pound mark. The scale said 235.0. I am really excited. There just might be something to this whole exercise thing. I feel really good about my workouts last week. I didn't get my brick in on Saturday but I did have some aggressive pool play time for about 2 hours. Not enough to replace a work out but enough to get rid of my guilt for missing it. I didn't like not blogging for the whole week. I thought it would give me incentive to work harder toward my goal but I think it had the opposite effect.

I am getting into the habit of working out and that tickles me pink. I really need to start focusing on improving my diet. I'm going to set up a recipe section here in Freementia that focuses on foods for the triathlete so keep checking in.

Oh and by the way I received a phone call on Tuesday night while on my ride telling me to call Robert from the Idaho Tax Commission in the morning. Wednesday morning rolls around and Robert offered me a JOB!!!! I start on the 11th. I am so excited. It's been a tough few months and now that I have a job, I'll be able to start entering races.

So for a recap of the week... Hit stage 1 of weight loss goal... Got a job... and had 6 awesome workouts. Not a bad week at all. I'd like to shout out to Kristy, my loving wife, for being so patient these last months. You've been so amazing. Next, thanks to the Guerrero's for what you gave us. You helped us in a big way. And third, thanks to Wes for your support and encouragement.
