KItty Hunting

The gauntlet has been dropped. My good friend, Shadowcat (or, as he goes by now, Sombragato), has engaged me in a challenge of pain - who can make the other really suffer at Triple Bypass in July. He says he's starting the new year out 10lbs lighter than he has been at the beginning of any other year. Images of Jan Ullrich come to mind.

This afternoon Steve came over and we did the "Biggest Loser 2" workout. It's a great work-out that seems to really help my flexibility, core strength, and upper body strength. I've decided to do it at least 3 times / week. I'm HOPING to do it 6 days/week in the mornings before my computrainer work-out.

As part of the work-out there's about 15 minutes of "kickboxing" - Kim, the trainer, keeps yelling to imagine hitting someone. So... well, let's just say that I don't have to actually put a picture up of the Kitty up on the wall. I know you're reading this kitty, can ya hear me coming for ya?? Be AFRAID! If I can't beat you on the bike, I'll just kick ya!!

On tonight's computrainer work-out I hammered pretty hard. Wasn't a long work-out, only about 44 minutes, but I think I'm going to focus on keeping most of my computrainer stuff around an hour for awhile. I don't want to worry too much about endurance miles right now, more interested in getting all this weight off of me.

All kidding aside, this friendly challenge that we have going and the goal of doing Triple Bypass in July, I think will be the real kicker to get this 30-40lbs off of me. Weight tonight after work-out was 85.6kg. Yes, a good part of that was water, but I'm making progress.

So, each day as begin my work-out, each day as I sit down to eat, I will picture lining up Kitty with "the look" before I drop him. Don't worry Kitty, I'm short, so the drop shouldn't hurt too much! *grin*
