New goal ...

I set a new goal tonight.

I registered for the Iron Girl Triathlon in Las Vegas. It is an Olympic Distance race (thanks Reed) at the Lake Las Vegas resort. I read a lot about it, it is all women, and seems like a great event ... so I registered, done, paid.

The next thing I am going to do is join Team CWW and train with them in Boulder. Team CWW stands for Colorado Wild Women. How hilarious is that!?!?! Clearly the group is meant for me. I am excited to have a team to train with (thanks again Reed) ... scheduled open water swims at the Boulder Res, lots going on, training schedules ... I am excited.

So, I missed my weigh in last weekend, after losing decently the Saturday before, I figured my weight loss would be small ... that's my M.O. and it's ok. I know I am in this for the long haul, I know I am not posting huge numbers week by week ... I am paying attention to my cycles, to my energy levels, my emotional eating, the voice in my head, I am surrendering daily ... it's all part of the journey, a journey that now includes a new race on May 9th. Awesome.

Thank you Jesus for this day, for the chocolate soy milk that I just drank, for my new found motivation to get back into training ... everything I do Jesus is to glorify You. Thank you for my husband and children who are sleeping soundly ... You are so good to me Jesus, help me to stay focused. I love you.
