while it would be cool to win or finish second, my dedication to the weight loss side of this has kind of taken a back seat to just plain ol getting in shape. i'm still eating right, but since the weather has gotten better i've gotten into jogging more. i have never enjoyed lifting weights all that much. now that i'm down under 220 my old knees don't rebel at the road work. i'm lovin it. 4 miles is a relative snap in a slow, but comfortable, 40 minutes. so i've changed my routine from weights and cardio to interval training on my off days and jogging three or four days a week.
so my new goal, which should still melt off my remaing flab (though at a slower pace) is 5 miles in 40 minutes just like when i was a "young" man of 45.
don't know how the contest thing will work out but it's been great. many thanks to everyone for the kick start and a return to a healthier life style.
ps.after coming up with a sore shoulder from chasing schoolies around, i've also added fishing hardening exersizes, repetitions stepping up to a two foot high step, lots of stretching, and slinging a
5' length of 1 1/2" galvy pipe.
Great job everyone!
