I’ve set a lofty goal for myself in 2013; I’ve signed up to run the Ironman Wisconsin triathlon in September. In order to provide balance to a sport that can become a little self-focused, during the training process I’ll bring awareness to the Kenya Children’s Fund, a group that our family is deeply committed

Feeling fit but feeling fat
It's time to shed the excess weight!
Often, I feel frustrated that I'm carrying 10 pounds more than I would like right now. My workout routine is barely able to keep me from gaining weight. I weigh 168. Emotionally and physically I feel fit at 158 so in in the next 30 days I hope to drop 10. It's odd how weight effects my sense of well-being. Physically, my strength and aerobic and fitness level is good and gaining momentum; I feel strong. But my emotional state does not match my perceived fitness level thus I don't "feel" fit and battle internally with a sense of guilt and self-doubt.
I read a lot on nutrition and healthy eating and believe that we eat quite healthy. The quantity of what I eat is what gets me into trouble. I've recently become aware of a cleansing program offered by Veleo Health & Wellness, the wellness-care chiropractor I see regularly. Sounds intriguing...I've also met with the nutritionist at LifeTime Fitness and have discussed a program of focused nutrition.
It's time to align my emotional and physical perception in order to fully benefit my training! More on this soon...
