Do I need a Triathlon Intervention?

Hello, Aikidoman.

DQ-eaters Anonymous will meet every Tues. about this time.

(corrected)

It ain't the triathlon..... 

It's food, man, you eat it, it makes you move....don't make it a fetish.

My wife and I hit DQ abiout 2-3 times a year....medium chocolate dipped cone...it keeps the world spinning on the right axis.

Yeah, just you wait until the wife gets the bug and you have to manage multiple training plans in the same house

Shoe orders and trips to the LBS get quite interesting when you have to buy 2 of everything.

"So I got that for her and you know what I got for myself?  NOTHING!!!!  "

Yeah, my wife hates it when I do that too.

I don't think you need an intervention, but then again, I don't like ice cream.

Well, I don't like ice cream just for the sake of eating ice cream.  I like a little with birthday cake, but have never understood the concept of just eating a bowl of ice cream or a cone.

I'm with you on the amazement for getting up early.  In a matter of 3 weeks, I've become a "morning" person getting up to get to the pool and back home before my sons even wake up.  As I commenting in my training log last week, it is a very wierd sensation to yawn while swimming...

It's a long story - she got it to celebrate because she DIDN'T need to lose weight.  She went back to the production company to get her initial weigh in, but when she walked in, they were "OMG! we got you confused with another girl!  You don't need to lose weight at all!  We are so sorry about the mix-up."  So, after investing in a trainer who provided her with a nutritional plan and workout plan, we find out she doesn't need it!  SO, DQ to celebrate.....

BTW - I ALWAYS needed to drop 15 lbs!  If I can get to 200 to 215, I will be SOOOO fast! 

No sense putting in all this traiing if I cant indulge once in a while. I enjoyed a Mint Oreo Blizzard (albeit a small) last night, and it was glorious.

I got up at 4:30 AM to swim and will ride an hour tonight.

It is all about balance!

Not really.  Our plan (yes, I helped her decide) was to go into the initial weigh in, get weighed, and then "demand" for more details of what they wanted.  To hit a number or if they are looking for more definition, some toning, whatever.  Then continue with her training to get a little more cut.

Well, when she walked in ready to give her speech, they realized they made the mistake!

A little relief....

I didn't share the news - kind of wanted it to die since I didn't need to deal with all the judgmental people.  However, they asked her to do promotional gigs for them.  To go out in public and represent the show.  But since it's in public, no toplessness.  My SO is even happier because it keeps her schedule more open, gets to keeps her top on, and is still part of the organization....
