The first weigh in was a success for me.  I didn't lose as much as some people did, but for me it was enough.  My goal is long term and I am only aiming for 1 to 1.5 pounds a week so that hopefully I can keep it off for good this time. 

I have had some difficulty this week since I switched shifts at work.  I still can't figure out when I will be able to make it to the Y.  On work days I am gone for 16 hours when all is said and done.  My goal this week is to figure out a new workout schedule even if it means only going down to the basement to walk on the treadmill after I get home.

Update about Ironman-

1.25 miles swam- 0.75 to go

63 miles biked- 50 to go

0 miles ran- 26.2 to go

not bad for week one
