Getting out of my funk

I've been in a funk... I will admit it. I have not been exercising as much as I should. I could come up with all types of excuses but I won't do that. I will just say that I have two weeks until my very first Triathlon and I want to be able to complete it as best as I can.

Someday I will go into all the details of me struggling with self-confidence with my job as a dean, working with new people, my body, my weight, my school work, I could go on but I guess the best thing for me to do is to stop wallowing in self-pity and do something with my life besides watching TV and eating Nutella (I'm not even joking over the last few months I have had a serious love affair with Nutella) Oh my God look how far I have fallen.

Anyway... Here's to starting over...again and again... and again.

Can I really do this????

I was looking at the calender. My TRI is in five weeks! I am not where I thought I would be with my training. I am starting to freak, will I be able to do this? Was I stupid to even think I could accomplish this? All these negative thoughts are going through my head. What was wrong with me when I decided to pick a TRI all the way in Florida???? I'm scared of the swimming, I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to make it to the end, its going to be different in open water. Why did I think I could do this!!! I'm going to look so stupid if I can't finish. I hope I feel better about this tomorrow.
