Your telling me... 95kg is not a depressing number of pounds higher than 195 lb. On the bright side the training is going well and has me all full of energy. I will just have to start eating better. No more big breakfasts. Since I have been easing into the training (lot of walking, not so much running) it probably does not burn all that many calories. I will make that up on my bike once I get it back. Went swimming on Saturday. Ow. Like I thought, need a lot of work there. I am not going to be trying for a good finish time. I just want to finish the triathlon. Which is 3 weeks from yesterday.

I really like biking. I really, really hate biking in 90+ degree weather. So I think today I may only get 3.5 miles in, but that's still good. I think.

I'm seeing a very slow but definite downward movement, so I guess I shouldn't get too depressed. I think I'm still on target for my size goals - one by the time I go home, one more by the end of the summer, and the maybe-final one by mid-semester...

On the bright side, if I don't lose 13 pounds in the next 3 weeks I get to be in the 'Clydesdale' weight class.

Bah!
