Grim, I know. But I've decided it would be best if I actually shared
(broadcast?) my progress, in both weights: on the scale and on the
bench!
I mean, I'm NOT doing this triathlon for weight loss, but I am
curious to know if conditioning for it will make any noticeable
difference in 10 weeks … or 10 months. You know? And Hell, maybe I'd
be good to know how I'm feeling during all this stuff anyway.

triathlon and seriously started a twice a day cardio workout regimen.
So this is my starting point! My Weigh-ins will be weekly, but my
measurements will happen monthly. (I'm trying to avoid disappointment.)
Trying a Triathlon on for Size

I always imagined us doing one together (not necessarily finishing together) … so now is as good of a time as any.
I don't have the $115 needed to sign-up right now, but I can start upping my cardio workouts. I've been doing 1.5 hours a day of Step Aerobics with Body Sculpting classes. Time to rachet that up to 2 hours a day until I can find a decent Triathlon training program to follow.
I already know I need to work on the swimming bit …
