Well I just finished a quick two weeks down in Phoenix on business. The first week I was down there I was traveling with some others and they kind of talked me into misbehaving. Eating out big meals and such. So I have decided not to count that week and extend my 12 weeks by one. That said, the next week, was my best workout week yet. Lots of running and lots of weight lifting. I was excited to see if I had met my 175 goal despite a poor week when I got back only to find the battery in my scale had gone bad.
Well, I got a new one yesterday, and weighed in this morning at 174.2. Yep, goal met. Around 27 pounds lost in a matter of approximately 9 weeks and about 140 miles of running. This was really a great investment of 9 weeks. I am going to finish my other 3 weeks still, I just won’t be focusing so much on weight now as weight training. Anyway thanks all for the words of encouragement, it really wasn’t even very hard in retrospect. I just needed to quit talking about and kick into gear, gazelle intensity. Also got a couple sections of the CPA exam since last time I blogged. It was totally miserable and I haven’t gotten the results yet but we sure are hoping for two passes cuz I don’t want to do them over.
Wish I could get back into the Phoenix sun for awhile (I would totally live down there 3 months/year if I could figure out a way to swing it) but I am back home for a week then onto DC for a week. Later ya’ll.

I was beginning to wonder if you had forsaken your loyal readers or at least your one most loyal one….me. You are looking great kid, wish I could be inspired into following your wonderful lead. I am better at just talking about it. Where’s Shannon been?
