Week 9
Weigh-In:

my initial weight 5/9/12: 160 lbs
goal: 125 lbs/lose 35 lbs.

weight two weeks ago 6/27/12:  150.6 lbs.
weight today 7/11/12: 144 lbs.
2 Week loss:  6.6 lbs.
Total loss: 16 lbs.
left to goal:  19 lbs.

HOLY COW!!!!
did you see that?!?!? 6.6 lbs. lost!
HOOORAY!
that feels amazing!
I must have gotten over the plateau I hit! YES!
The sprint triathlon went great!
We started off with Running the 5k, then Biking 12 mi., then the Swim for 24 laps!
wow. that was some hard work. my times were not even close to the competative level. and that's ok!! my goal was to finish! and I did. 1 hour 33 min! FUN! my bike time was the best with 29 mins. my transition times were bad, I took forever. I admit it. & the run! pffffft!! don't even get me started. I hate running. but, you know.....gotta do it.
So, now my workout schedule is like that of someone who is training for a triathalon. Bike & run on opposite days {sometimes both} and then swim is in there as well.
We want to do it again to get better times. {unofficially, but still timed} 
It's exciting. We love working out! 
how awesome is that?!?
what better thing to have an "addiction" to? {as long as it's generally healthy-not over doing it}
I've also made some changes to my diet. I want to go Paleo.....but I'm breastfeeding and worry about my  milk, detoxing, etc. SO, I've semi-gone paleo. I incorporate lots of paleo recipes, try to avoid as much grain as possible, eating lots of veggies & meat & fats {moderately} some fruit & sweet potatoes. I've also found that using gluten-free recipes work well too {but they usually have rice/corn in them.}
only about 19 lbs to go! woo whoooo!!!!!
EX.CI.TED!!
