So many good intentions ago...

It's been two years since my last post.

In that time, I have:

• Lost 30 pounds
• Gained 10 pounds
• Started three new jobs
• Competed in two triathlons
• Convinced my 14 year old daughter to do the last one with me- which she hated every minute of
• Wound up in the hospital after the last one- heart infection
• Sprained my ankle thinking the third last step was the last step...it was not.
• Exercised with fear of either re-injuring my heart or my ankle if I work too hard...hence the regain of 10 pounds.

After the heart scare, one brother has insisted that I retire from the triathlon business.  Umm...two races does not make a business, but I see his point.  I have not signed up for anything this summer...but want to.  I am thinking, though, that I will not compete in another tri unless I am down to at least 215.  That will make it so much easier on my body/heart.

Unfortunately, my new job is a very sedentary one.  Lots of desk sitting vs the standing/walking I enjoyed as a teacher.  Also, I am inherently lazy.
