Is My Scale is Broken?

I finally could stand it no longer and got on the scale this morning...

...and I weigh EXACTLY the same as I did before Thanksgiving!!!

WHAT?!?!

That's what I said.

Maybe my scale is broken?  I mean seriously, is this even possible?  I know I didn't go way overboard on food, but I wasn't holding back much either.  I worked out some, but not a lot.  It has to be a fluke, right?  But hey, I'll take it.  And I'll check back in another week and hopefully know for sure.

My goal this upcoming week is to DRINK MORE WATER.  I can't lose weight if I don't hydrate.  Whoa, that sounds like a mantra or something.

Wanna lose weight?
Hydrate.

Wanna get strong?
H2O all day long.

Want that fitness plan to stick?
Water does the trick.

Ok, I'll stop now.

Wait, you got any?

Today, I didn't do my planned workout, but I did walk a couple of miles.  It was almost 60F outside and I couldn't pass it up.  This is one of those odd Colorado days I guess.  So, I took the dogs for a walk and we all got some exercise.  They're both passed out on the floor now and should sleep great tonight.

Oh and I got a new fitness gadget for Christmas!  It's a fitness watch and measures steps, calories and distance walked.  I'll post a review soon!

My Gym Has Triathlon Training?

I did get in a quick bike ride today.  Only 20 minutes and I didn't even check the details.  I just wanted to get it done.  Always good to start off a new year with what you want your year to look like.  I want to be focused on the fitness side of things this year.  I think I'm at a very good point on the food side, so I devote this year to perfecting the workouts.

Of course, I will be focusing on triathlon training for the next 6 months and so far I've been using BeginnerTriathlete.com for their awesome workout plans.  But I just found out I had some leftover gym  points that were about to expire, so in checking out what they had for me I discovered they have triathlon training.  I'm like WHAT?!?  So I signed up and received an email yesterday about not only the training, but also a local tri-group.  Very cool.  I'm looking forward to seeing where I can beef up my workouts a bit and meet some like-minded people.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!  2014, let's do this!!

Happy Eve Eve

Happy New Year's Eve Eve everyone!  I just have to post really quick to say that unfortunately, there  have been no workouts accomplished by me since last Wednesday. That stinks, but now that the craziness is over joyful Christmas season has passed, I can get back down to business. I don't want to even step close to a scale right now though, much less on one.

Well, that's it for now except to say menu and shopping for the week is done.  That's one step in the right direction.
