Hard to run carrying all this milk

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...I swam an hour and 2 miles on Friday night. Ran a 2 hour half marathon on a trail on Saturday morning. Then a 3 hour (2:45 - 48 miles bike 15 minute run) brick on Sunday....I went into the weekend weighing 195 I left the weekend 195.

I don't know how to train, lose weight and MAINTAIN POWER at the same time ....that is without starving. I'm constantly hungry. Even while I write this all I can think about is the giant jar of Peanut Butter with honey on my counter. Which is why I'm sitting here drinking a giant bottle of water trying to curb the hunger. I know throw it away. The PB not the water that is. If that weren't there it would just be something else. Like milk. I drink milk every night at bed time. It is a life long habit and I lost weight doing it before but I'm beginning to think I'm gonna have to suck it up and let it go for a while.

Took my first crack at timing 1,000 in the pool tonight and finished at 19:34. Anything under 20 minutes I could live with. Hopefully within six weeks I'll have that under 19 maybe even close to 18. A guy in the next lane challenged me to a race and he beat me by a body length. Course he caught just after my 1,600 but he still beat me fair and square.

I know men aren't supposed to be worried about weight. Get your weight up not your hate up. Thing is that my endurance feels great my body feels great I'm finishing my workouts strong not exhausted. However, when you're running a trail chasing the world's fastest unknown Venezuelan (my buddy Jose) and carrying around what amounts to 3, that's right THREE, extra gallons of milk its a little difficult to not get frustrated.

December Numbers

I'm really psyched to be able to post some numbers from an entire month of training, even though it was the holidays and there were several missed days either recovering from tough workouts that I'm not used to yet or recovering from the holiday sweets....gee wonder why I can't drop some of that weight. :)

Swim: 12,500 yards
Bike: 240 miles
Run: 56 miles
Strength: Unknown but roughly 5 hours a week.
