June 14th, losing 26.2 :D

As I try to keep Juneathoning with my swimming, walking, running and so on, I have just found what I needed... a challenge... a weight loss challenge... throughout the Summer... let's get going!! Woohoo! Thanks Jess! This challenge comes precisely at the right moment! Woohoo! Bring it on!

Swimming clinic

We now have our proper instructor and boy can she push us. I love it. We worked lots on Monday and can't wait to go back tomorrow! She was looking at us and correcting our technique... great! Also, we did 20 more minutes... gotta love it! Hope we do more tomorrow too!

Cursa de Pineda - Juneathon continued

Sunday, June 10th, Pineda. The 10th edition of the 10K. The alarm goes off and I wonder wether to go or stay home. I am tired and haven't run since Sunday last week. I get up and go. I get lost within the small town of Pineda :p I finally make it to the start. It is very hot and humid. I find my good friends María and Mercè and we set off together. They run faster so they go, but I catch up with them. In the end, Mercè came in 59 seconds before me and Maria just 10 :D Happy with it! I walked part of it. I think my mind won the battle but it was great 1:08:01 in the end. Not the best but hey... good enough... and I wasn't last either :D. So, what's next? Let Juneathon continue!

Day 7

Just walking today, which is good enough I think. I have been sleep deprived lately and I am very very tired so my 3kms today feel great!

Juneathon Day 6

Well... I keep moving here, there and everywhere! Second day for my swimming course today. I did over 1000m altogether but lost count. It was great. I did 50 more meters than everyone else in my group as I swam (amazingly) faster than they did... had a lovely time. I'll continue next Monday! 6 more sessions to go! I went to the orthopedic doctor to pick my new inserts today. I've been wearing them and my foot doesn't seem to wobble too much, wich is obviously fantastic! They don't feel weird or anything so I'm very very happy! I'll wear them tomorrow again and will try a little run in them and then just wear them Fri and Sat and if they feel right, will wear them on my 10K next Sunday! Yay! Loving Juneathon... the push I needed it!

Weight loss?

I know what to do. I've been really good for 4 months and all of the sudden... I can't seem to be able to control myself. I need to lose lots and I want to do it. I'd like to feel good and not ashamed... I can do it... What to do... what to do... what to do... how to do it? Talk about the milion dollar question ;)

Stationary bike today for Juneathon today :D

It was 11pm already and feeling guilty about my eating... had some chocolate in the afternoon and didn't manage getting any workout in... I guess that's what happens with a full time job and 3 kids among other things, right? Well... I wanted to watch a documentary on sea water, so I jumped on the stationary and rode it while it lasted. Not too many kms but more than I would have done, had I just stayed sat down... so, keeping up with the Juneathon wonderful challenge! 9kms in 30 minutes... the idea was just to move not to go any specific distance. I don't know how long it had been since I used my stationary so I'm quite happy... thinking of using it more as I am about 7 weeks out from my first triathlon of the season :D So I will find it easier (maybe) to get on my road bike :D I didn't use a tech shirt... what a mistake... I'm soaked through... it is soooooooooooo hot... sweat started pouring off me (which I gather is good :p) so I better go get changed!
