Well getting back to this hopefully.

Last year I did some 5ks to have something to train for, went from 283 to 239 at my lowest.   I didn't have any goals this year so just maintaining around 248ish.

I want to start training for something again and I'm picking the triathlon that I never did.  It won't be a sprint one though, the goal is a Olympia level or half(I'll do a sprint one to prepare ahead of time) 

Training started today, just the run though.  My gym with the pool will be closed for a bit for a deep clean they do once a year so when that opens back up I'll start the swim snd I have to buy a road bike.

Run today: run 1 lap, walk 110m x 45 minutes.
Felt eh, threw my back out twice the last few weeks but my running laps I kept it at around a 9 min pace and ended with 3.9 miles.

Today at work I'll do my normal body building stuff.

I won't be headlining or bb heavy squats really.  I think my lower back is cooked for now so legs will just be leg extensions, curls and leg press.

To make it easier to track this will just be for my triathlon stuff.

Today felt more like the official start.

Did chest and tris

Stationary bike, 10 miles in 35 minutes
Run, it stopped for whatever reason at the 4 mile mark but I did around 4.5 to 5, somewhere in there.

Right at the finish my quads cramped up so that was like my max and not too bad.

Maybe ill cut my runs to 3 miles for the time being.

I'll do this every other day.  Tomorrow will be just an hour incline walk and bike.

Easy day, ran 2.5 miles.

Tomorrow will just be a long walk.  I have to get an adapter or new pump for my new bike but hopefully I can ride it tomorrow.

Rested yesterday

First trip on my road bike and the hills killed the mood.  It was just a giant ass hill one after another.

I did 6 miles and my quads were just locked up from attempting the hills.

Walking now, might run in a little when my legs feel better.  If I'd o it'll be a mile or two.

This is going to be harder than I thought haha

9 mile ride today on my mountain bike

After the first 2 miles my seat came loose so I had to treck it back and managed to tighten the seat up.  It rained a lot so figured the mountain bike was a good choice.

Tomorrow will be better so I'll get the road bike out snd I have a 10ish mile or so route planned.

This week been working a lot and getting in some 45 minute bike rides and did a hour run/walk just now.  I signed up for a sprint and an Olympic next year.  Currently I'm waiting for my hybrid tires to come in so I can do road and gravel, until then I'll just ride the bike at the gym. 

I guess my goals next year will be to be around 215 to 220 and be competitive in the sprint and finish the Olympic.

Been doing light bodybuilding workouts and biking about 8 miles and running every other day.  Yesterday I biked 8 miles and ran for 30 minutes, and work was a shit show and got around 20k steps for the day.

Today just a walk and workout at work or after idk yet.

Update

Started back on the diet so my cardio is just walking.  I want to see how well my diet is working vs having a lot of cardio contributing.  Tomorrow is my first check in.

If I had to guess it'll be about 3lbs

Workouts have been consistent.  Mix of strength and bodybuilding, following slow eccentrics and 6 to 15 reps and maybe 2 in reserve.

Starting weight is 259 and each weigh in I'll stop eating and drinking around 10pm(i work 3 to 11) and only sips after that so I don't have too much food and water weight.

Lately my weigh ins are around 257 with clothes and after I've eaten.

What else umm my calories are around 2750 but probably go a little higher with sauces .

Protein: 250
Carbs: 180
Fat: 110

Once I get to 240 in going to hire my buddy to do my diet since last time that's where I got stuck and only got to 238 with running 12 miles and not drinking anything the night before.

Been going good, sticking to the diet, basically eating the same thing every day with little differences.

Weight right now I'd say is around 253 but my next weigh in is Tuesday or Wednesday I think.   

The third week results ill see how much I lose and if I'm down say 3 lbs or more then I'll add a few hundred calories so I'm not losing too fast.
