Monday Update - 21 JAN 2008

312.0

Yep, "up" another pound over the last 2 weeks. But, to me 1 pound is not enough to worry about. Even if were higher, I'm choosing to take a completely different approach from now on. I'm choosing to not let my past "failures" get me down. This is something that I've struggled with for over 30 years. I've allowed myself to dwell on past failures that, in turn, has served as a guide to future failures. The power of thought is remarkable!! "You are who you think you are!!" Thank about that for a minute.

I'm Registered!! Yep, I'm now officially a part of the 2009 WDW 1/2 Marathon. When the time comes, I'll probably sign up for the 5k as well.

As I said on Friday, the hard part right now is breaking my bad habits. Then to add insult to injury, I've come down with some type of light cold or congestion. But, I can't let that stop me! I must Keep Moving Forward!!

Till Next Time...Keep Moving Forward!!!

Glad you are back and starting fresh.

I'm glad to see you back on track. Your goals you have set are difficult, but I'm sure you can achieve them. Certainly the rewards will be worth the effort, both personally and for the kids. Hang in there.

Keep it simple each day -- focus on making good decisions, one at a time!

Sometimes you'll choose the large fries, or the small fries, or NO fries.

Every good SINGLE decision adds up. And I know from experience, you'll gradually make more good decisions than bad. But it's impossible for us to instantly change our ways.

One decision at a time, and the past is the past! And registering is a GOOD decision!

I am going to make you, Jonathon, and Rae the same pledge offer. It will be a sliding scale based on finish time. Since ya'll will have to loose weight to achieve the time goals, it should have the same effect. Here is my pledge for the WDW 2009 1/2 Marathon:

2:30 - 2:45 - $25
2:15 - 2:30 - $50
2:00 - 2:15 - $75
1:45 - 2:00 - $150
1:30 - 1:45 - $250

These times will actually require running (not walking), but, then, that's the whole point, right?

Those "Monday Updates" have kind of become a thing of the past.

While you are not up to this distance (yet?), some of these 50K training tips are hilarious :
