Update

So things are going well here. Griffy certainly doesn't eat like a normal child, but I think we are close. He is the pickiest of picky eaters, but I feel so much better about things it's amazing. This morning for breakfast he had juice, a waffle (minus 2 bites) and strawberries. That's pretty normal, right?? He still refuses most forms of protein and all pastas, but we're getting there. It's only been 2 weeks! I have started incorporating more milk in his life again. I even let him have some carnation instant breakfast before bed the other night! I feel so much better about things, but it would be so easy to slide back into the place we were before. I need to be careful!

I wasn't going to do any triathlons this year. I just wasn't into it. Well, on Saturday the doctor I did races with last year asked me about my races for the season....I responded with nothing. She said, "Well, I'm going to do that one in May...." CRAP! I had a pit in my stomach thinking, "That would be nuts! I haven't biked or swam at all since last season and it's basically 4 weeks away! Well, I gave myself 24 hours to think about it and by the end I was completely obsessed with doing it. Why shouldn't I be able to?! I'm in WAY better shape than last year. So I'm doing it. I did my first swim yesterday and I think I've totally got this. It'll be no problem after a solid month of intensive training...

I've been having some knee issues lately, and doing this tri is actually going to HELP it, because I won't run as much, but biking and swimming will be added in. That will rest my knee and strengthen the muscles around it.

That's really all for now. Headed out for an hour long bike later and then some weight lifting. Maybe I'll drop a few pounds this month!
