Feel'N Fat, not PHAT

Had a great week of training and then Cheesecake Factory'd it away. I was feeling pretty fat after a weekend of no worries.  So tonight I stepped on the scale and ouch..... 199.  I weighed in last wek at 193. Pretty serious swing. 
Well, I signed up for my Olympic distance TRI. Its the Wildman Festival over near Lake Nona in March. Very excited about my first Tri. Tried ordering a wetsuit offline and its out of stock. I need to find one soon as the water will still be cold in March.
This is my Rest week... cut back on my workout intensities to let my body heal up. Hope I can get those cheesecake pounds off soon!
A.F.N.- ADIOS for Now!

New Year- New Plan

Weighed in at 196 this week. I was surprised to see that number. I was sick twice during a months time. I decided to completely stop training and rest to recover from the head cold.
First week in January I began a 16 week training plan for the 70.3. I can see now it will not be a simple task. 
Steve and I have decided to travel to Tucson for the Tri-Fest in March. Its a Triathlon training camp and expo. Should be a fun weekend. We have been looking for some triathlons to run prior to our Iron-Man. Looks like there is one during the month of February in Claremont, FL. Looks like a winner. 
Steve did throw down today, He told me that I could not beat him in the run portion. I think it sounded like a challenge or maybe a little smack talk. He just finished a half marathon this weekend and is doing very well. I have not yet ran farther than 5 miles during my training. We shall see.....
