Training for my first tri.

Here in my blog I will cover my road to better health and training. I will also cover my weight loss journey. My journey started 2 years ago with my first visit with a weight loss doctor and my decision to have a lap band installed on my stomach. Mid summer 2009 my top weight was 405lbs. My weight as of today is 327lbs I have lost a total of 78lbs.I had surgery Sept 4 2009. My first triathlon is on April 25th in Sullivan Il. I hope to loss 20 more pounds before then. My first goal is to just have fun. Second goal is to finish. I do not dare start running until a lot more weight is lost. I walk and swim a lot at the local YMCA here in Mattoon, it is only 7 blocks from my house. As a reward for myself I bought a Trek 1.5 road bicycle. I will also post my weight and the amount of time I train everyday. Pictures will be added later, maybe before and on going pics. Have a wonderful evening.
