Well another week is in the books. Training went well, with
some speed work and mental/dietary focus. Further, to aid in my weight-loss
goals, I have decided to put drinking of alcohol on a strict allowance.
Week totals:
Running: 38.2 miles
Biking: 104.75 miles
Drinking: 3 glasses of wine (1/2 bottle)
Biking: 104.75 miles
Drinking: 3 glasses of wine (1/2 bottle)
Not drinking every night of the week is a dramatic
change. I really enjoy relaxing with wine at dinner. The problem is, it doesn't
end there. I usually continue on to beer and/or a second bottle of wine (with a
little help from Mimi). Still, I have to keep my goals ahead of what I think is
quality living. I train a lot and still I am
still struggling with my post TBI weight gain. I have lost most of the 35
pounds that I gained, but now I am in the tough final stretch. Without diligence,
I probably will not lose the last 8-10 pounds that I believe is essential in
order to reach my pre-accident athletic levels. I’m sure, there are other
physical/medical reasons - that I do not understand - but I am certain that if
I want to at least approach my previous level of fitness, I must commit in all
areas.
Success has started.
