July pictures

Feeling Better

Here are some pictures of what I looked like at the end of July. My tummy is shrinking. My knees feel better. My whole body feels better.

Eating Healthy

I am continuing to eat healthy and my wife has found some great healthy recipes in the process. She has even invented some of her own that are amazing too. I am excited that eating healthy doesn't mean bland awful food. In fact, since I have started my weight loss journey, my family and I have tried new foods that we really enjoy.

I did find it a little challenging to eat healthy while I was vacationing with my family but didn't give up trying.
In fact, I am finding myself craving less sweets. It is easier to say "no" the more I practice it. The nice thing is that there are healthy alternatives. It isn't just the dessert or nothing.

Training

I have been continuing in my training for the VikingMan Triathlon in Heyburn, ID coming up on Sept 11th. I have been gradually increasing my endurance which has been tough. I am now running 6.5 miles at a time. I won't let myself stop. I work out daily running, bicycling, and swimming. My goal at this point with the triathlon is to finish. I think after I finish the triathlon, I will be sleeping. ( : I don't know. Hopefully I won't be too beat.
