317.0

This Week: 3.5 lbs
Total: 23.5 lbs

Finally!! I was able to get things moving in the right direction this week. Even though I wasn't actually able to get myself moving physically. Go figure. I did focus more on what and how much I ate, so I know that's what did it this week.

I did get out and go about 1.6 miles last night. I'm at the point where I'm transitioning away from the 30/60 workout. I need to start adding time to my workouts and also extened the running segments. Up to this point I've limited myself to 30 second running segments and tried to increase the number of segments in the 30 minute workout. Lately, I've felt that I could easily keep going after 30 seconds. So, last night that's just what I did. I still only did a 30 minute workout. It was still 85 and very humid at 8pm. Combine that with a cutback in exercise over the past few weeks and I just didn't "feel" like doing any more.

I believe I'm also at the point where I need to get used to doing the distance of the races in the coming months. Since the Tower of Terror race is the longest (6.5K, 4.04mi), I'm going to start going that distance and work on increasing how much I run and ultimately the time.

This week is shaping up to be a very challenging week. MagicMeets is this Saturday, so I will have several days of travel to overcome. Even though MagicMeets in on Saturday, I'm actually heading up to Pennsylvania on Wednesday. The company I work for has an office fairly close to Harrisburg, so I'm going to get some work done there before the weekend.

While this week will be very challenging, it could also be extremely rewarding. Some of the changes I mentioned in an earlier post are starting to take place. phatdisneygeek.blogspot.com now "redirects" to blog.phatdisneygeek.com. It is still hosted by Blogger, however. You will also notice a new "Phat Disney Geek Links" section in the left sidebar. The only link right now is to the new phatdisneygeek.com site. The site is very much under construction and I have some parts of the site under review for approval. As soon as I get the site finished and receive the approvals I need, my sponsorship program will be active and I'll come back and tell you more about it.

Till Next Time...Take Care!!!
