Back On Track??

Here I am again and it is the weekend. We got home last Sunday. Went right back to work on Monday. I wasn't feeling well again this week. I am having a hard time eating. Milk and milk products specially cheese is making me sick. :( So Now I am back to feeling better I will head back out the door. E wants me to go back to the Doctor's. I don't want to cause they will want to stick me full of crap.

I would post more photos of the air museum but I can't get them to upload. It was so neat in there. And it was a nice trip.

Today we just vegged out. We drove down to Miami and drove across the Rickenbacker Causeway.It is in the Danskin Triathlon in May. Holy Cats!!! What a bridge!! The view is awesome. So now I am going to buy a helmet and get my aerobars put on my bike and go back down there and practice.

This is the bottom of the Causeway this is turn around one of the 12 mile bike ride.

This is what it looks like driving on it.


This is going the other way, kinda a better view.

It's an amazing view.


I am back with my trainer, as soon as she gets over her cold, we will be refining the training schedule. I am more than willing to work, eat sleep and train. Train, sleep and get up and go train some more. Being ill has not helped me one bit. I am still sitting on the fence about DL.
I have a 20 year high school reunion to go to, plus the duathlon in June and maybe some other really cool stuff, but I sure do not want to look like a pumpkin. {i still feel bloated from the lactose intolerance}

I haven't been swimming and I know I need to get back to it. I am so feeling it.
Next weekend is the Health Expo in Miami,and on the list they are saying the finalists from the Biggest Looser is going to be there!!! Holy Cats!!! And I do not have to work that weekend!!! I am so going. And I just found out that Aerosmith is coming here in July!!! Sweet!!!!!! I want to go.

Well I am looking forward to getting my rear back out the door and as long as to tummy isn't hurting I will be out there training.

What Day It Was Yesterday

This is what you see when you walk in!!!



The space museum was a blast. And the cool part of the whole thing was E's Dad was talking to an employee who he asked where the observation tower was. And the next thing I know we are on a lower deck of the tower ,looking out with no waiting!!! No people!! So cool!!! He told us about the air crafts and how they got them in there. And that the Enterprise never flew in space but it has glided down for training. It was and still is used for training.



Then the drive home. Oh my... the traffic coming out of DC was madness and we sat in traffic for 5 hours. Holy Cats!!! They have the express for the traffic coming out of DC and then later it dumps back into the highway and what a mess!!!

It was all still fun.

Today we are going to go look at a Creator site and then it is birthday time!!!
Thank you for all the good vibes, it was a false alarm, E's sister just has to slow down a bit. {whew}

Today we did 2.34 miles. The hills are something. E was really slow today. And then we have to pack and get ready to drive home tomorrow.

Look A Giraffe!!!

I couldn't wait!


Here is a picture of me and fj feeding a baby giraffe. It was so much fun. Ever since I went to Busch Gardens I have liked them.

Resting right now and later I will update my miles. I will try posting a map of it. Like I did before.

Virginia is Chilly

We are here in Virginia, and we were going to go to Busch Gardens but instead we decided to stay local and headed out to the zoo. We are going to go feed Gariffes!! It will be fun. going with the family.

It seemed like it took forever to get up here this time. I think because we had to stop more with the dog.

Slept in this morning so no miles yet. I will do that when we get back. I think we will drag everyone with us. :) I really do not like being lactose intolerent. People make it seem like I am doing it on purpose. I didn't trust me. It makes me feel like an outsider and we brought stuff with us so they wouldn't have to worry. And we bring more they we normally would. It's hard to find some of the stuuff I eat.

I will post some photos later, no Disney store to go visit. :(

So I will try to get some of the really pretty scenery shots here.

Later

Rambling On,


Yesterday at work was my last day of training. Tomorrow I am on my own. Three 12's in a row. I work at the desk now,instead of on the floor.We will see how I do. Then it is off to Virgina.

This morning I got up and put in 2 miles. The plan was 4. The humidity is just thick. Then they just said we are going to get a cold front. Crazy weather we have. After it cools down a bit this evening I will put in a couple more miles. I also wore my running shoes today. I have not used them since the Princess. When I look at them all I see is the pain I was having during the race. I didn't have any. SO I will alternate between them and my older ones. So I do not wear them out.I will take them out for another spin. :) Over coming these small hurdles are great things. TOT 13k, hmm that would be a huge hurdle.




Today was weigh in and I am -3 this morning. Back on track.Whew I was getting worried for a while there. My trainer is out on assignment.And it has been hard to get together and get things workout. She is also now doing Home Training coach. What?! Seriously?? I can not wait to talk to her. I want a week with her here, in my home,and all. When I get more details I will share them. This will be the deciding factor in my DL trip.

And I caught up on all the Biggest Looser, Holy Cats!!! Did you see Tara with the car!!! Go girl. I have to record then and watch later. I am normally in the gym when it is on. I can't wait till next week.

Now I will have to figure out how to download the record stuff to my PC and watch them during travel next week. I have to entire season of House, and ER to watch. And Sunday is Wrestle Mania !!! I will miss the first hour ,{thank Goodness for dvr's}

Today is my 2000 day. Man How am I going to get it all in? Last night I was able to have a couple of cookies, and still stayed under my 1500. I will have to post a couple of the new recipes we have been trying. Get tired of the same ole thing. And the a low cal, high protein.

E hit up the Disney Premier Store and brought home the Stitch cookie jar. He is so Cool!! {i think he knew I was missing WDW}And he will match the new color of the kitchen. Slow but sure we are getting the home improvements done. Kinda looks like a construction zone, but we have made progress.

I can not believe I will not be going to Disney anytime soon. I feel like I lost my happy get away zone. But I try to think of it this way. I have it to look forward too. :)

Enjoy your weekend, and the Team Voice Event Page is up dated!!

Week IN Review


Things here are going good. Packing and getting ready for our trip.

I have been riding my tri bike. Oh my!!! I love this bike. It takes no effort at all to ride this bike. I have been doing the one pedal drills, and I can do a mile in 4.5 minutes. WOW!!! I still haven't found a helmet that I like,I sure will not go long distance without it. E can't keep up on his mountain bike so when I do start doing the long distance rides he said he will drive the car behind me so I won't get ran over. hahaha

I am getting back with my trainer. I have to do what works for me, and her guidance works. And she is getting married this month. I am proud of her, she is one of the success contestants from BL. I have bought myself a new goal outfit, and I just can't wait to get started. She likes what I have been doing but she is going to make it work better.

I am still getting quotes for DL Half. I am looking at packages that include my park tickets with my room. From what I understand, the Good Neighbor hotels are within walking distance. I have never been there. I to plan on doing the 5k as well.

Congratulations to Johnathan and Amber!! Children and gifts, great gifts. But when they turn into teens, they believe they know all !!
