Where to begin?

How about with the first of the month. Rabbit is what my friend always says when she wakes up on the first of the month. This is her way of stooping superstition. Or is suping stooperstition?

Ha- ha!
All joking aside, I'm in need of a goal, a start. I feel like I'm always looking for somewhere to start.
I signed up for a triathlon, the first Iron Girl in Portland and it's been canceled already. They say postponed, we'll see. So here I am, in need of a goal. I'm also signed up for the Deschutes Dash on July 17th. I'm doing the sprint distance and am super psyched. They have an award for the person that comes in first overall on the swim portion. Could I win this? I've better train like crazy if I plan to.

A friend of mine wins all the time in her age group. I'm a little bit envious. I want to win something.

I need another race that's before this one, or do I? So many options? What are you doing? Any races that you're signed up for that I should be too? I could always use a little camaraderie.

So to begin my month and the true beginning, I will post my stats:
Height: 5'8 1/2
Weight: 170.3
body fat %: 25.3%
water %: 54.3%
Of course this is according to my scale that I purchased at Target, so we're not really sure if it's accurate.

My measurements:
neck: 13.5
shoulder: 47.5
chest: 40.5
upper L arm: 13.5
waist: 34.5
hip: 41
Thigh R: 21.25
calf R: 14.25

According to Dr. Tim Irving on 5/13/11
Height: 5'8
Weight: 170.8
Body cell mass: 33.5
Extracellular mass: 39.4
Fat mass: 27.1%
BMI: 26
Basal metabolic rate: 1763 cals
Intracellular water: 50.6%
Extracellular water: 49.4%

Measurements: 5/13/11
Neck: 13.5
Shoulder: 42
Chest: 41
Upper Arm L: 13
Waist: 35
Hip: 40.25
Thigh Girth Right: 21.25
Calf Girth Right: 14.25

Sooooo...........I'd like to lose 8% body fat and some measurement changes would be nice, and well if the weight went down in the process that would be swell.
Here We Go!!!!!!!
