Post Comp Update

Hey guys! So the competition was one week ago yesterday. This last week Brandon and I went to California. If you'd like to read about that trip go to my family blog which is on the side bar of this blog. Here's what happened weight-wise:

Day of Comp: 131.8 lbs
Monday (after eating quite a bit sunday): 135.0 lbs

Now if we weren't going to go out of town I know this would have come down as I usually weigh about 2 lbs more on Mondays from eating a little more on the weekends. By the end of the week it is gone.

Friday (after California): 137.4

To be honest I was completely ok with this. We ate out for every meal and I thoroughly enjoyed it as we normally don't eat out very much. I even had a treat/dessert every single day.

Action plan: 1350 cals per day until I'm to my goal maintanence weight of 133 (132-134lbs). Progress so far:

Saturday: 135.8
Sunday: 135.4

I'm hoping by the end of this week I'll be down again.

Workout wise, this week I kind of took it easy. I was pretty burnt out with exercising but I didn't take the week off completely.

Monday: lifted
Tuesday: 5 mile run along the beach (on a path not sand)
Wed: lifted
Thursday: inteval run along beach
Friday: Lifted
Saturday: 12 mile bike ride

Ok, so i guess that doesn't LOOK like I took it easy but I did. Besides the bike ride I didn't push my speeds or weights. It felt good.

OK! Done with that little side note called a figure competition and back to the original triathlon training!

Saturdays bike ride was AWESOME!!! I pushed myself really hard. If I was comfortable in a gear I went to one harder and tried to keep the cadence the same. My average was 16 mph which is a full mph faster than my previous fastest speed. Before saturday I was feeling kind of sad that my speed was so slow. But for a little bit of the ride Saundra let me borrow her road bike that had cages on the pedals and I was able to go quite a bit faster. Sure, it was only for a few minutes so I can't really assess how much faster they would make me go, but I could tell they would make a difference. So... I dropped a few hints to Brandon because my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. We'll see what happens with that. :-)

I also want to work on certain parts of my body in case I do another comp in the spring. I am going to be focusing for 9 weeks on developing my shoulders. I've never really done this before as my goal has always just been weight loss as I've had three babies in the past 6 years. I'm going to figure out a plan and I'll post it when I've got it figured out.

Ok, that's enough writing for today! I have got a crazy plan for this week but that will be for another post.

Hope you all have a great sunday!
