3/25/09 - Two Months

Total distance: 762.15 miles

I weigh 201lbs after two months, having started at 213lbs. Twelve pounds is a pretty big deal, but I want to turn that into twenty by the end of next month.

3/11/09 - Back In Black

Total so far: 617.67 miles.

I've been biking, shoveling snow, playing handyman and various stuff.

Yesterday, I had the idea to add a desk of sorts over the trainer bike to allow using a computer while training. It's a lot better than watching Idol or whatever and starting my workouts at 7 or later.

I don't just surf. I lose myself in World of Warcraft. I reactivated my account and started building a Druid. I find it funny that I'll really only be playing while pedaling so when I do a "/played" command at the console, the result returned will reflect how long I spent working out.

I decree that I will only play the game while working out (other than stuff my bank character does) at least until I have gotten my Druid to Level 80. And that's going to take a very long time, even at two hours of play a day (strange how that doesn't seem like all that long per day now).

3/3/09 - Silence Is Golden

I'm backing my blog entries down to once a week with figures that combine the week's totals. I've grown into my routine and would much rather be doing other stuff than writing mostly repetitive stuff.

I took the weekend plus Friday off from workouts in order to get my lab back in order and work on the Fanglerfish (I used to call it the Lanternfish, but I was using the wrong term for Anglerfish. Since there was a Strong Bad Email dealing with what SB called "fangly fishes" when referring to the same fish, I combined the two). All I need to do now with that project is build the adapters because everything electrical is done, including the inverter for the backlight (at both maximum and minimum brightness).

I almost have 550 miles at this point.
