I have been feeling quite well the past few weeks. My back has been solid and thuus I'm back to areobics, weight training, and yoga 4x's a week in various combos.
I'm doing well enough that...I am really thinking I can rev up my training routine to get me ready for a triathlon by mid-summer.
Belive it or not my least-favorite element is biking. I have an indoor trainer can use but its been quite nice around here lately with dry roads. Today would be a perfect day to go for a spin on the schwinn but I volunteered to help out on a project at my daughter's school this afternoon so I'll have to wait for another sunny, dry, non-windy day for a road workout.
In the meanwhile I've already ordered a new bathing suit to begin pool workouts and I'll plan to start running again TOMORROW.
Oh, and my stomach has been doing pretty nicely, as well - so much so that I'm down to only one pill daily for the GI-related issues.
I think I was inspired in part by this funny logo I saw recently on shirts and stickers online:

Yeah, I'd love to be sportin' that on my car bumper as I drop my kid off at school every day! hehehe.

I can vouch for enzymes, they do help, as do the acidophilus/lactobacillus capsules. |

My husband has the same problem you do. As well as acidophilus, he swears by a multi-enzyme formula. He used to be doubled over and have to watch every single thing he ate and drank. Now he's much, MUCH better. He won't eat a meal without making sure he has enzymes. It breaks down the food the second it starts dissolving so they don't cause any gut problems. Here's a link to one brand: http://www.naturesbounty.com/pages/products.aspx?PPID=100
We just buy ours at Walmart. Wonderful stuff! Worth a try... |

oh, and I used to take acidophilus - I need to remember to buy some more. Those are some great microbes in that lil' capsule! |

I only do sprint distance Tri's - not the "ironman" length ones...that's WAY out of my league!
The tri's I do have a swim of 1/4 to 1/2 mile; bike of 12 to 16 miles and a 5k to 4 mile run. |

hee hee, I like the sticker, can you *imagine* the other parent's reaction?!? Ha!
Do you take Acidophilus for your gut issues, ever? I started taking it a week ago, and I'm amazed...
