Sunday, Easter Sunday to be exact.  As it is the final day of March I celebrated with a one month of working out day by going to the gym this morning at 0430 and run/walking for 60 minutes.  My intervals were jog 4 minutes and walk 1 minute.  It slowed me down a bit but I feel that I got a good 5 miles in this morning.  I also weighed myself to end the month.  Official weigh in: 247lb.  Down 11lbs this month. 

I have to admit I am a little discouraged with the last 1.5 weeks.  I weighed myself 2 Tuesdays ago and was at 246.  I know I did not get my walks in this week as per usual but still I have kept my intake below the max I have set for myself.  Ok, I'm over it.

Tomorrow we fly out early to Orlando.  There will be a lot of walking in the next week.  The kids still don't know what's going on exactly but they suspect something, excitement is in the air.  Probably feeding off of me!  Since we are eating away from home, keeping my caloric intake below threshold will prove challenging.  Wish me luck.

13 days until the vampire run.  I'm pretty excited.  While it isn't exactly a timed run it will be my first official race.  Yay.

measurments - ugh!

70" tall
Weight - 247 lb
Chest - 47"
Belly button - 45"
hips (pant waist) - 40"
Thigh - 28"
calf - 17"

I will weigh in tomorrow when I use the gym in the morning for a long run.

This morning I woke up and what should have been a day of rest turned into me realizing yesterday I did nothing, so I went for a 20 minute walk.run for about 1.8 miles, 2 miles with warm up walk.  an average of 5.4 mph felt good and could have kept going but I have to go to work and am pushing the envelope as I type.  Here is the route I took today.

Today I took a day of rest, and it was awesome.  We have a sickness going through the house and I am hoping that I do not get it.  Kept caloric intake below threshhold.  Good day.

Today I awoke at 6am and had a great nights sleep after a great day of lounging around.  I worked my way through 4 of the Harry Potter series on dvd.  I am making it a point ot get ready for our Orlando trip next week and our three days at Universal studios.

I did get Alex the dog out for a walk this morning.  I strapped on her backpack and we took about a 3 mile stroll.  It felt great and was a nice crisp walk.  Here is the route we took:

Today I did very little and consumed a slight bit more than my caloric goal.  But it was awesome.  back to work to morrow.

This morning I awoke at the crack of 0415 and made it to the gym by 0500.  It is still cold out in the morning so I did my run indoors.  Plus I still have a sinus issue that I'm dealing with.  Ran/ walked 36 laps around the turf field today in around 33 minutes.  36 laps is 3.05 miles so a 10:49 second per mile pace, but remember that is with walk breaks.  10 minutes of the 33 total was walking and 23 was running.  I average a 3.5 mph walk speed so 0.58 miles were walking and 2.47 were running, in 23 minutes is a 8:55 pace.  Good numbers when broken down I think.

I'm hoping the snow clears and this weekend I can do some timed personals on the track.  I'm interested in where I am at.
