Weigh Day: Letter to the TRI Council

Dear Fitness Sirs and Madams:

After all of the intense workouts, sensible eating, and a great showing at the Danskin, how is a 2.8 lb gain justified? While I understand body fluctuations and scale readings will always be clear as mud, this is bullshit (or horseshit, as they say in these parts). I am disappointed with today’s results, but I will not let it ruin my post-Danskin glow. With that said, prepare for war.

A true TRI-Diva,
Coco Faboo

Thanks for all of the wonderful notes/emails about Danskin. I’d recommend the event to all women, regardless of fitness level. If you’re new to all 3 areas, grab a couple of friends and enter as a team. Being part of a relay team gave me a chance to see exactly what happens during a sprint triathlon. When I fly solo next year, I know what to expect and how to prepare. Add it to your list of things to conquer in this lifetime. “Finish a triathlon” is on my list between “Lose 100 lbs” and “Marry Vin Diesel”. LOL

Until next time…

your gain could be some additional muscle or water rentention from the intense workout. hopefully it will drop off by next weigh in.

Marry Vin Diesel, huh? He scares me. lol

Aw, I gained a little this week, too. I’m sure we’ll both have a better next week!

Hey, then I guess you better be giving Vin-boy a call.. he’s next on your “To Do” list. Oooh.. that could be interpreted as nasty! =) I love it. 😉

how much water did you drink? how much salt did you recover? the gain sucks, i know it! paint on the camo and have at it, baby!! 🙂

Keep that attitude. You know what we always say… the loss will show. It will. I promise! 🙂

Probably water retention from being outside? I hate that kind of gain! I know how mad it makes you feel, too!

don’t sweat the small stuff. you’ll have a 4 lb loss or more next week; it’s only water. I have no doubts you’ll be rewarded next week!

vin should watch out! loves,

I wasnt that strict this week, I didnt journal and I ate something sweet everyday, but I did work out 5x and I lost 1.6. I also drank about 32oz of water before I weighed in. Weird eh?

Lindy

you will have to fight me for Vin! 🙂 Don’t look at the weight loss as a bad thing…I bet it will be gone as well will more by the next weigh in. You are doing great!

RYN-drama: LMAO. you ARE a diva… :p

i meant to tell you!!…the woman in my meeting that hit her 101 on last Sunday may contact you. i asked if she might give you a digital copy of her before and current pics…SERIOUS inspiration!! of course, if i had thought it through i would have just ask if i could have a copy and then posted it on my website. LOL

Isn’t it wonderful that you have so many other things to measure your success by — beyond the scale!
