I'm really pissed because I cannot find the chest trap to my HRM. I'm very afraid that it was left in my friends camper on Saturday. If so, it's lost and gone forever. very very bummed. on a good note, though, my weight is continuing tod rop and I am currently weraing jeans that I had planned to give away because I couldnt pull them over my hips.

Oh, I FINALLY broke the 190 barrier. I hadn't been posting my weight on here because I'm pretty embarrased by it, but I'm really excited to have gotten below 190 for the first tiem since Feb. I'm just one lb. shy of -10lbs. But hey, I still wear a size 12, so I guess I'm not huge, I just feel like. ...it helps that i'm almost 6' though. I just want to be like my junior yr in HS.. 160. Even that sounds like a ton and still more than qualifies for Athena in any tri, but I was a size 9/10 and super hot. Oh well.. I'm just happy to not weigh 190 anymore. Serisou 189.5 sounds sooo much less... ;) *** I had Eric (almost hubby) put my HRM on last night. I'm very concenered about his cardiovascular fitness. His resting heart rate befroe bed last night was 89. I didnt get to check it this morning. He's had a long day yesterday, but there's no excuse for 89. He's kind of a slug and he works really hard everyday and does some physical work, but nothing really for his heart. Cardio is terrible. I had him walk up and down our stairs once, and he was at 122. I did it and was at 87. !!?? What do I do? I try to get him to go out running or biking with me but it's always no-go. :( What do I do!!?? He used to always tell me "go run" whenever I was feeling shitty about my weight. ...he's not fat, but he's got a little beer buldge. He's 6'0 and 175. When we started dating he was 128lbs and I was 161lbs. Hey, at least I don't out weigh him by 30 lbs plus anymore. only 14. ;) *** I'm super excited about all the fun I have planned tomorrow. I'm hearing Kelly Benjamin and Brad Cole speak, then a ride with kelly, then a run on the run course fro next weekend. then, by boyfriends shop is in charge of river fest in KC, so I'm going to go hang out up there. www.kcriverfest.com

Sunny. no wind about 85 degrees. overall a very nice ride. I thought about NOTHING but riding and tri racing. Nice to just think about my training and racing. I'm saddle sore from riding on Monday in a swimsuit w/no chamois. I'm ready to be over that. *** I went clipless!! FINALLY! I rode around my house a little bit last night. I coulndt get the tri race shoes I really wanted, so I have 3 straps on each side to deal with in races now, but i'll figure it out. Oh, and they were free so i really won't bitch!

Cookout at work for lunch. Went straight from law firm to board shop and worked 7:00am to 9:00 pm. I tried eating french fries for the first time in probably 6 weeks. it made me feel sick.
