Im having mind problems again with the Tri. My numbers are just not what I think they should be. I will be the last by about 20 mins longer the last place finisher of last years time.. I don't know if I can handle that. I know I can finish. I just don't know what the race folks and racers will do. I have four weeks to get the times faster. I have told everyone that I will be doing this. I have to do this.
I went shopping for running shorts. I still don't fit in the womens, so I got a mens. Whatever. I think they look the same.
Had apt. w/ Dr P today. Scale said I lost 12lbs since the last time I was there five weeks ago. 2.4lbs a week. Lets keep that up!! Side benefit of Tri training.
I ran(2.34ml) and worked with my trainer this morning.

You do it on YOUR terms, woman. Do it when YOU are ready, when YOUR body is telling you it's ready, when YOUR mind is feeling confident.
And even if you come in dead last... SOMEBODY has to. And you at least finished the event, better than all of us fatasses who would keel over in the first ten minutes!
When you're used to hanging around with penguins, it feels funny when you first start trying to be with the racehorses. Give yourself the same time and patience and compassion you would freely give to any of your friends in the same position... would you think less of someone who wasn't ready to run if they pushed themselves too hard and got hurt, or someone who still trained and worked but decided that they weren't quite ready just yet?
Be as kind to yourself as you are to others, and you'll know what to do.
Love ya!
Do I have the best sister?
You bet I do!!
