June 21st
I started my training yesterday. Let me tell you something...this homegirl CAN NOT swim! I'm such a bad swimmer, I was doing a backstroke and hit my head on the side of the pool! Dummy!!! While I was swimming, I thought about the first time I got on the pavement and took up running. I am not going to freak out, on this weakness. I am going to work through it and get stronger. I also ran afterwards. There are some things I need to change.
First off...I need a swimsuit. My poor boobies are smaller, so my stupid swimsuit was not fitting well and I had a hard time keeping my straps up. Also, I don't think I am ready to wear shorts while running. Last night I had some running shorts on and well...they crept up and stayed nestled up by my crotch.
I am so excited to move on to a new challenge. Exercising make me happy...<--so generic, I know. I remember when I was working out in college. (I know I had more time back then) But I was working out twice a month and training to become an aerobics instructor. I wasn't super skinny, I was healthy (or maybe I would have been super skinny, if I didn't drink my weight in beer every weekend). I am happy with where I am at in my life. I know I will slowly shed the extra 20lbs by the end of the year. Right now my focus is on training for the tri (on the side, training for two 1/2's). I am not crazy...I promise!! I am not super woman either. This time in my life, I also realized I have to use up every minute. I have found time in the day to work out, clean the house, work, spend time with my family and everything in between. Maybe because I am controlling?? Hmmm....that make a lot of sense.
So, I am done rambling! Wake up, the blog is over!!!

New Goal...Yes dear, I'll have time for it!
June 19th
I ran 4 miles yesterday and my knee left great. It has been 6 weeks since my 1/2 marathon and my knee strain. I think the knee is good. I promised my husband I wouldn't do any 1/2's this summer. I have two 1/2's in the fall. This blog so boring...I know. But I have some much more interesting news...I will be training for a mini-triathlon in September. Thanks to Theresa's info on the TRI in Rio Rancho! I convinced my two cousins and my running partner to do it as well. I am pretty excited for this. Running has brought out the competitive side in me.
Some of my goals have been put on the back burner. One goal that hasn't, is my relationship with my husband. Our relationship is getting better and I am communicating more with him. I love that man! He wants me to play coed softball with him. I plan to, but some of the players (other teams) are pretty crazy. Well let's see how my competitive spirit will be with this sport! I'll let you know.
Anyways, ladies...thank you for all the support!
Goals
**Start training for tri tomorrow
My 5's
>>My husband...he's a damn good father!
>>Spending time with cousins
>>Laughter
>>My strong baby boy
>>Sunless tanner

Poolside in Hawaii?...no it's just the Burque.
June 7th
Good morning! Since I can't be in Hawaii with Carmen...I'm bringing Hawaii to me. I will be sitting poolside sipping a cocktail, enjoying great company and hopefully not too much smoke (we are getting A LOT of smoke from AZ fire). I am so ready for this!!
I have been biking more often. I went for a ride this morning with my running partner. I felt like a BADASS, I out rode him! He also had to get off his bike and walk when we rode up the hill to the high school. I'm trying not to gloat but; DAMN GINA, I do kick ass!! I added running to my biking routine. I have been biking for about two weeks now. I think it's 10 miles or so. Yesterday I added 1/2 a mile of RUNNING, not jogging. I then come home and do some weights and yes sit ups!! I got this!! I am suspending my gym membership until the fall. There's no sense to pay for spin when I can ride my bike for free. Plus I have the weights at home. This isn't my first rodeo, so I know what to do on my own.
I am really enjoying my time off. I cleaned my closet, I am hanging out by the pool today, library w/the kids tomorrow, cliffs, isotopes and a birthday party for the rest of the week.
To all my homies that are supporting me, thanks!! I see 150's in my near future and 130's in the distance. To all my ladies, working out with a partner is very helpful and if you don't have that a very good playlist for the IPod.
My Goals
**Workout--check
**Weights
**200 sit ups
**Pedicure
**Sitting by the pool
My 5's
>>Living the country
>>Thankful my pedal broke a mile from the house and not at the end of town!

Let's go team! Also, would like to pray for RAIN!! We need this AZ fire to be contained.

171 June 2010 161 2011
June 1st
So...I have lost 10 lbs since June 2010!!! I can't believe it!! I don't notice it in my big'ol belly. But I definitely see it in my legs. I lost 90% of that weight in 2011. I think tracking is what has helped me lose weight. I really need to keep it up. When I stopped tracking I sabotage myself. Starting today, I will be back on track...with tracking. (Yeah, I know it was pretty corny)
I am going to work hard to get to the 50's. I have 2 more pounds to get there. I started bike riding...I am going to wait to run until after I see the doctor tomorrow. I am going to add more weights and increase sit ups to 200 a day. I am going to get to 155 August 1st. That will give me two months to lose 6lbs. I think I can do it.
I am off next week and I can hardly wait!!!! I am sooo excited to not have to answer my phone or do anything!!! Well, I will probably answer my phone...but I will try not to. I have told my dealers I am going to be on vacation, but they still seem to call!!!
Ok, I better finish my coffee so I can go for my bike ride. Ladies have a great day!!!
Goals
**Finish everything on my admin list
**Exercise
**200 sit ups
**Track
**Catch up on blogs
My 5's
>>Warm weather
>>3 more day until vaca!!
>>Wearing shorts during a run for the first time!!!
>>Wearing my shorts I had in my closet (10 years old)
>>Fake tanning lotion (I used to be a fake bake whore)
Let's go team!!
