Day one

Last week I created a training program by using a sample from a website I've been reading, beginner triathlete, and I also incorporated another program from a half marathon plan. I had to make some adjustments so that it fit my own schedule.  It looks good (I think, as I have really no idea what I am doing) so now I just have to stick to it.
I am 35 years young, 5'4" in height and starting this blog the following are my current measurements (used from our Tanita Body Composition Monitor):
Weight - 129.4lbs (I was 128.6 yesterday but we went to the movies last night to see Tron and I ate half a the bag of popcorn with LOADS of salty ketchup seasoning, my bad!)
Body fat - 29.2% (healthy is 21 - 36%)
Water - 49.2% (normal is 45 - 60%)
Muscle Mass - 87.5 lbs
Bone Mass - 4.6 lbs (normal for my weight is 5.3)  I must have a small skeleton!  lol ;)

Chest - 35"    Waist - 28"     Hips- 35"   Thigh - 22"       Calf - 13 3/4"    Bicep - 11    Neck - 12 1/2" 

This is my photo.....  not so glorious, I know. 

But once a month I will update this photo and my measurements in hopes to see my progress which will keep me motivated.
I do not have any kind of weight goal as my priority is to finish my HIM in a respectable time.  Last year in my triathlon races I finished in the bottom quarter in my age group.  This year it would be really nice to finish in the first or second quarter.  I hope I have not set the standard too high for myself!  The first quarter is probably far fetched but the second is doable.
