The Official Weight Target Post

Starting Feb 2, the official weight target challenge begins. Here are the terms.

The deadline weigh in is on Wednesday, Apr 2, 2008. Larry and I are entering an agreement to lose 10% of our current weight by then. If we both succeed, we pay for our respective share of our season tickets. If one of us fails, he pays for the other's season tickets. If we both fail, we will donate the tickets to friends/charities. According to my kitchen scale, I am 190 lbs. So, I must lose 19 pounds.

I have approximately 8.7 weeks to do this. If I can shed 2.5 pounds per week for 8 weeks I can reach this goal....

The plan? Increase activity and decrease junk food consumption. No fried stuff, no chips, no pop, and definitely no needless late night snacking. I think that in itself will be huge. Increase in use of home gym, primarily the treadmill (shudder). I should probably draft up something more specific but I have a rough outline in my head. I'll aim to run for at least 20 min and hit the bag for a few rounds.

Anyways, if you want a shot at the Esk tickets, give a comment and help keep me accountable.
