posting on monday?

As you can tell, I really don't want to post this week. I actually wanted to do measurements but my kids got a hold of my measuring tape and I didn't have the time to look for it. Bad week, bad bad bad week. I only lost 0.3 pounds which puts me at
188
Can't complain at a loss but the Friday we left for CA, I was 187.7. This is the last week of the current weight loss challenge I am doing and my goal is to have lost 10 pounds. I have a hard time NOT accomplishing a goal when I set one. Therefore, I am cutting WAY down on carbs this week. Kind of doing South Beach diet. I'm not a fan at all of diets that require you to cut out certain foods and you lose a lot of weight fast but this is for purposes of achieving my goal. I won't be disappointed if I quickly gain some of it back but I'm going down in a blaze of glory. This is the only way I know how to lose 2.5 pounds in one week and keep my milk :)
I'm still training for the triathlon and am still nervous for it. I find they are easier to go and do when it is more spontaneous. Now that i've had a few months to prepare and think about it, I'm getting nervous.
I need new running shoes but getting my husband to agree on that purchase is a difficult one. It's hard to argue your case with someone who knows nothing about running. He thinks you need new running shoes when they have holes in the toes. If I could afford it, I would buy new shoes every six months. The ones I have now, I have had for at least 2 years. Yeah, time for new ones, I have a knee that is starting to bug me.
