Weight loss results

Well, I expected a lot more weight loss while training for my half ironman. After talking with several people, I have learned that so many people don't lose weight while training for strenuous events because your body needs to focus on fueling, not losing. So true!! However, here are my results. I lost 15.4lbs since January 1st! I lost several inches, though I didn't really keep track. I did go down two pant sizes, which rocked my socks off. I am healthier now than I have ever been in my entire life. My husband commented that he saw the biggest change in my body when I started riding longer distances on my bike(I was riding 50-60 miles each weekend). I am 16.8 pounds away from my goal weight, and I am happy with where my muscle is. I can actually SEE muscle on my body, it's so cool!! 5 more days to go until I found out if I have what it takes to be a half ironmom!
