Seven Days

A good friend of mine (who for now will remain anonymous) has been a huge inspiration to me through my journeys. And he's always willing to be a source of information and a good "push".

I e-mailed him after the race - wanting his opinions on how to better prepare for Princess and how to move forward.

His response shocked, amused, and totally motivated me.

"When you've completed seven half hour elliptical workouts, we'll talk. Hope to talk to you next week."

Now - you might think that it would have upset me. Far from it. I laughed. And immediately replied.

"Okay - yesterday doesn't count! Talk to you next Friday!"

And today, I report 1 down. Six to go. I'm using my PreCor's pre-set "weight loss" program. It's a 28 minute program with a 5 minute cool down - for a 33 minute workout. The 28 minutes alternates from intensity of 1 to intensity of 8 every four minutes. It's a good strong workout.

Plus I get to watch Smallville on my iPad (great show) - I've only just started, but I'm only allowing myself to watch while I exercise. So there's that. And as I'm kinda hooked on the show now - and there are TEN seasons. Yeah. You can see that it'll be with me awhile!

This weekend, I plan on doing a more lengthy trip report highlighting BOTH of my recent trips - and I also plan on writing another article for AllEars - which I'll call "Toddling the World" - all about traveling with a toddler. Yeah - it's totally fun!

See you guys soon!

EPCOT AWAITS!
