Vegas Baby...

[co] or perhaps the title should 'What do I want?'...

So I was looking at my to do list for 2010 yesterday (on my way to a weigh in) knowing that it was 'all bad' i.e. I hadn't really stuck to anything resembling a plan re eating and that I would have achieved zero loss. The upside I do suppose was that I hadn't gained anything... So could be worse.

Now I hear you say 'How can you not lose weight with all this training?'. Well the trouble is I don't think I (and maybe a lot of triathletes) are particularly normal or healthy around food. So I am all on or all off. I don't know how to eat without thinking about it or without going crazy (or maybe just a little over the top), because I am not training, so hey I might as well... Yes its perverse... The other side of the coin as well is that as you start training you get hungry and need energy/calories to perform. So to lose fat you need to not fully replace, something I don't do naturally.

So anyway back to 'What do I want?' because that's really what it is all about... As I struggle to focus on my food.... Training that's okay, can tick those boxes (and at the moment that's around 3x swims, 4x bike, 5x runs a week; give or take a little on each.. At the moment seems to be all give more...), but the need to focus on nutrition escapes me without constant inspection.

..and so it has begun. Operation 'Sort it Out'. So what I want is to make it to Vegas next year as part of the NZ Long Distance Age group team. Phase 1 complete, entered qualifying race today (hey, that was hard it sold out in 56 minutes this morning). Phase 2 harden up and lose weight.... So that's what I need to work on in next 6 weeks.

And I guess if it was simple as that: what do I want?
