Time to kick it into high gear...

[ZLTFUL]

So ever since my trip last November to Colorado when I almost died hiking up to the treeline with Randy outside of Boulder, I decided I needed to get into shape.

When I got back, I started walking every day. Nice 2.2 mile loop and I have been getting to the point where I am jogging it for the most part.

Christmas comes and I step on the scale at my aunt's house...240lbs. Absolutely digusted in that. So I vow to get better.

Thursday afternoon, I finally bit the bullet and had a friend of mine come up with a nutrition and workout plan for me. We took some measurements...245lbs and 27.9% body fat.

Yup...more disgusted in myself.

So Saturday, I went in to watch his power lifting team do their thing and get some advice. I ended up signing up for a group workout M-W-F from 12 to 1. On my "off" days, I will be doing HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
I started this Saturday afternoon with a 7 mile bike ride. Kept the bike in the lowest gear and pedaled my ass off for 20 to 30 seconds and then slowed my pedaling down for 45 to 60 seconds, then repeat.
In the end, I got home and felt GREAT. I mean other than my jello legs and sore thighs, it was great.
This morning I woke up a bit sore but feeling pretty good.

I am very psyched about this. My nutrition plan includes a ton of egg white, tuna, chicken breast, cottage cheese, whey protein, some whole grain cereal/oatmeal, et al. I love food but I love the thought of not being embarassed to take my shirt off in public more.
So for the next 2 to 3 months, I am going to bust ass to get into shape and then go on a maintenance program with an emphasis on strength training.

And when next November arrives, and I return to CO, it's going to be me making Randy feel like his heart is going to explode. Bryan did better than me up the hill indeed!

Even more motivation to keep the cycling routine up after the century ride in June.

I'll admit when I had my own office..I would do some curls and/or drop down and do sets of 50 in between clients.

Are these what Stella has been sending you?!

I was going to suggest..Wearing spandex-padded biker shorts may increase your odds of actually riding a bike

You may also want to try wearing a real "bike" helmet too and get rid of the current one..

You know...I am beginning to like this Adam character more and more each day...

why do images of IZ wearing Ben Stiller's outfit from 'Dodgeball' showing up on Z's doorstep come to mind?

Never interupt me during my "private reflection time"!

[Randimus Maximus]

how's that pump treating you?

[ducpainter]

You are doomed.

I saw absolutely no alcohol in your nutrition plan.

You need a 'balanced' diet.

Good for you Z.
