It’s on. I got the call

My boss wants me to go out to California the third week in April. It would have been sooner had I not pushed back a bit. My excuse was that I don’t like traveling during the winter.

Now I have two months to lose 15 pounds, which is a more than reasonable goal. That will still put me at 15 pounds heavier than when I left there, but I’m comfortable with that.

I’m off to a good start eating well and having exercised on my elliptical for the past two days. I’m able to do between 25 and 30 minutes at a moderate level. Then I stretch for a few. I feel good. So far I haven’t gone too extreme, I’m too experienced for that and know that would be un-maintainable.

I weighed in this morning at 195 (yup, up a bit) so this will be my starting point. I’m not sure how often I’ll weigh but it will definitely be no less than once a week. I’ll try and post progress pictures again. I have to fight the urge to go grab the ones from two years ago during my initial descent since I’ll probably look the same.

Anywhoo, I’m excited. I really will have to get on the ball and give my site a face lift. Hopefully my work schedule will permit the time.
