My favorite sports used to be golf, tennis and basketball. I really only play golf any more and even then, not as much as I'd like. I lost 15 lbs. in 2007 mostly through cardio at the gym on the elliptical and challenging myself to increase my pace. I started strength training in February '08. My goal being to lose some extra body fat and put on some more lean muscle. I started swimming regularly in March '08, mixing that into my cardio routine. I changed my diet in June 2008 and I've lost another 15 lbs. and I'm down to 12% body fat. I'm okay with my current weight and want to continue to build my strength and endurance. Another goal was to be able to run regularly and eventually train for a triathlon. I did 4 weeks of PT on my knees in June '08 and low and behold I could run again. I completed the 12 week "Beginner" triathlon training from the Library here on sweat365.com in Spring 2009 and completed in my first Sprint Triathlon in June 2009 and it rocked! I've now completed a second Sprint Tri and I've started training for my first 10k. I still enjoy golf, when I get the chance, but endurance events are becoming my new favorite sports.
