It's Official

 The image on the left came from the excellent Weightbot application for the iPhone. Okay, so I added some commentary overlays, but you get the point. So I'll keep posting my progress with screenshots from the application, and you can feel free to poke fun at me in the comments section.

So this is kinda strange. I've always considered myself to be pretty healthy. Even though I know I'm not in the best shape of my life or anything, it's kinda strange to see myself above the "Overweight" line. This is a brand new "ouch world" for me! And of course, we all know the way out of this world, more ouch. Like the hour I spent flogging myself on the Expresso bike at the Genentech gym last night. That was fun, but is sure did hurt. It especially hurt because even though I was pushing relatively hard, I finished 21st out of 39 riders to attempt the course nation wide this year. I guess when you spend your time reading about other people who are fast, you kinda feel like it rubs off on you. As it turns out... it doesn't. So, I'm doing my Power 90x (I even took my "before" pictures, but there's no way I'm posting them until I have some decent "after" pictures to put up next to them!), riding my bike, and watching what I eat. Tomorrow is another day on the Expresso bike, and I'm gonna have to do something drastic to help out my ego a bit.

  1. Welcome to the old people's club! Dan challenged me to run a half marathon at the Duke City Marathon in October. Ouch. Let's see... if I run 5 steps today.... you do the the math! It may be easier to just get pregnant and be in labor the day of the race instead! Hmmm. Love you!
