April in Review

April?!?! Really? I do not like the warp speed at which this year is moving!

I have to admit to having fallen into a funk and I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to pull myself out of it. I was getting very stuck in the problem of not being able to get my miles in because of my hip. I was getting complacent about recording my pool workouts because I don't even feel like I really exert myself all that much. And then there was this whole thing of "what if I DO get cast for Biggest Loser" (I didn't).

But now the corner has been turned, Biggest Loser is out of the picture, and it's time to get on with it!

My hip is feeling a lot better. It has times where it still aches and I seriously do wonder if it's ever NOT going to hurt when I do certain stretches, but at least I am feeling like I will almost be able to run on it. (yay)

So, I haven't totally been doing just nothing. I have been logging 3-5 hours in the pool each week. I think my core is getting a lot stronger. And I think when I hit the road I will actually have better form.

I am pretty much off the training schedule and will have to figure out WTH to do about that.....

I also want to work on the food part of the equation. I DO NOT want to be this fat at the starting line! My goal for this week is to eat a fruit or vegetable at each meal.

I have been off of soda for an entire month.

Things are coming along. I just need to reevaluate what the plan is and then get executing on it. :)
