Kim vs. The Couch

I'm still trying to lose all the weight I gained since I graduated from college in 2002 (at age 36). At my heaviest, I was about 210 pounds. I've lost about 20 of that, and I'm working to lose 30 more.

My Goals:
I'm still working toward riding a century (100 miles). My longest ride this summer was 79 miles, so I'm getting closer!

However, last April I made a big commitment: I will celebrate my 50th birthday in September 2015 by completing an Olympic-distance triathlon. My blog is mostly about training & maintaining motivation. Because I have two years to do this, I am taking it slow. (I am a HillSlug, so slow is my favorite speed!)

My Program:
I'm tracking what I eat and the exercise I get. Structured diets, even Weight Watchers, run counter to my personality. I weigh myself daily, so I know when I'm getting off track.

Personal Information:
Born & raised in Seattle. Joined the US Coast Guard at 18. Bounced around a lot for the next twelve years, including a few more years in Seattle. Moved backed to Washington in 1996 to a rural area of Western Washington (the wet part). Moved to Eastern Washington in 2000, and I fell in love with this side of the Cascade Mountains. We currently live in the Tri-Cities. It's a brush steppe, but the climate is very similar to a high desert: cold in the winter, hot in the summer, lots of sun, not much rain, lots of wind, very little humidity.

Other Information:
I have very little self-control when it comes to food. I can always justify eating that extra snack - and then I regret it!

Although I love to sleep and I could spend 9-10 hours in bed everyday, I'm naturally kind of fidgity. I like to keep myself in motion. I find it difficult to sit for more than an hour. Since I work at a desk job, I'm always up & walking around.

Thanks for the info on Run Phones - I'll definitely check them out - do you know if they hold up to a lot of sweat? My headbands are always soaked when I take them off, and my athletic ear buds are designed to withstand the sweat.

Thanks again!

Hi Kim,

Thanks for your comment on my "Surly Cross-Check" blog. I had to put the wheels in the trunk and wedge the frame onto the back seat floorboard. I have brought home 2 other bikes this same way in my puny Toyota.

A folding bike rack for the Corolla the would be an invitation to show no restraint. Not that I have any restraint anyway!

Separated at birth sounds like a real possibility!

Thanks for the comment on the blog. I much prefer to ride outside, but my workouts are more focused on the bike. I have always read, an hour on the trainer is worth 2 on the bike. But till now we haven't had much good weather to ride when I had the time. Winter riding here is not for me.
