Subject: The NY20 Challenge!

I've been a slacker the past couple months, with far too many excuses (work, health, yada yada) and not enough training.   I got down to 196 pounds several months ago, but have slowly crept up over 200 again which is NOT GOOD!

So I'm starting the New Year 20 Challenge!  The goal is simple:

Lose 20 pounds by 2009.

The challenge will start today, and will run through 1/1/09.  (That's 19 weeks and 3 days, or roughly 1 pound per week.)  Just get your new weight to me each Monday morning.  I'll keep a list of everyone's weekly weigh-in, along with overall progress.

So who's in?  Smile

Heck, I am the captain of the boat you are on. Slack city here so maybe this one ( I think I join everyone of these) will be the one.

I will weigh in the morning.

Awesome sounds like we are getting a few signed up! Its winter here in NZ but Spring is a week or so away, and I entered my first race of the season today which is in 3 months (mountain biking) so I need to get moving so I'm not so heavy on race day - its a hilly one!

Four years ago I started thinking about triathlons. Well, the idea came and went and nothing came of it. Now I’m starting out fresh and new. This time I signed up for my very first sprint tri in October. Like my wife says, “Now I’m financially committed.” It’s funny how that works . So this challenge came at the perfect time. I started following a training plan this past Monday (8/18). Best of luck to all… Hopefully will need some new clothes for New Years!

158.0, up +0.5lb. Going the wrong way obviously. Just means I need to be extra focused this week.
