triple training...

Today I am going re-evaluate my training schedule. One problem is I'm not sticking to the plan exactly.
I'm training for my next triathlon, the marathon & my boot camp obsession...
I realized rather then swim for a certain distance I wanna set a time goal. I was thinking if I'm able to swim for an hour or longer even. When it comes time to swim the 750 yards in the race being able to swim more time then it takes to finish that part should help.
I'm so anxious about swimming in a wetsuit. Both times I swam in one I had somewhat of a panic attack...it felt constricting. In reality wetsuit loosen up when you get in the water. So it is totally mental. I keep praying that by the time my next race comes I will be ready to do it mentally. I hope to buy a wetsuit so I can practice in it to.
So I hope to swim 2 times a week. Bike once, and run 3 times. With one rest day. I don't want to quit doing bootcamp. I feel like the strength I'm building is really gonna help. Also the mental aspect of pushing myself & going further each time AND not quitting!!!
I was watching multiple episodes of biggest loser and that is one thing (besides the way they eat) that I think they are taught.that you can do anything you put your mind to.
So much of this & life is mental. It is amazing to me what I can accomplish in the gym, the challenges I can conquer, the determination & drive!!! Yet in life especially what I eat I mess up. This morning I was telling my self what a difference I see in my body. On Friday I went to a work party & my go to black dress was too big!! I HAD to where a smaller size dress that I wore before I got pregnant with my son (8 years ago)!! Why I hung on to a dress that was too small for 8 years is beyond me haha BUt good thing I did. When I went to the party people's jaws literally dropped. Which shows 2 things one I must look real terrible @ work hehe and two that the hard work is paying off. BUT yes there is a HUGE BUTT....MINE!!! I still weigh the exact same amount. It is so mentally defeating to constantly see the same number. It is a true testament to how important diet is to weightloss I guess.
I'm not gonna lose focus of my triumphs and let a # get me down. I'm just wish I could take that willpower out of the gym and into the rest of my life.
I had an awesome 3.5 mile run yesterday! Then hit up Zumba class. I will tell you that zumba hit some muscles I had NOT been using and I was sore & tired today! I did go to Sunday Xam Boot Camp for the first time BUT it was a tough one being worn out from yesterday!
This was a LOOOONG all over the place post....sorry :-)
I guess I will talk about my shin & shoe problems another time hehehe
