I weighed myself this morning when I got up, so I know where I'm starting IM training from. The plan is to weigh every Monday morning.

I did fairly well on drinking water while at work today but need to do better once I get home. Only drank about 3oz on my 30 minute run.

Did good on the eating today as well. Passed up breakfast tacos for vegan banana nut muffins, snacked on hummus and carrots and had a spinach salad with red kidney beans, carrots and tomatoes for lunch. It's after the swim that I'm starving and want to eat a ton.

Volleyball practice got cancelled today to give the girls a break after playing for 3 days in a row, so all of a sudden I had a free night.

Official training for IMAZ starts tomorrow. I usually have to switch some of the days around to work with my schedule, so I normally swim Mondays and Wednesdays. Next week, however, is my week to drive the volleyball carpool - on Monday and Wednesday. So, I went and did an open water swim today to cover one of my swims for the week and plan to do the other swim Thursday.

Some other things I need to focus on during IM training this time:

*I'm going to weigh myself once a week on the body fat scale I bought and see what happens during training. I'm not trying to lose weight but I do want to focus on eating better.

*Drink lots of water. At the tri camp last weekend, Derick said we should be drinking 3/4 to a gallon of water per day. I thought I drank a lot, but have paid attention the past couple of days and don't drink that much.

*Foam roller. I really need to do this daily, even if it's only 5-10 minutes.

*Core work/strength training - not the top priority but I'd like to fit it in if possible.

It's go time!
