Mortality

ok... I'm 42 years old. I used to have a problem remembering that fact- that is until last night. You see, Cathy (my dearest love) has decided to go on an exercise regimen called "Making the Cut." Being the ever-supportive hubby (and the fact that I could stand to lose about 30lbs myself) I said "Let's both do it together!" (*echo* "together, ...gether, ...gether")

We used to workout all of the time together, but, for the next 8 years, we will have to do it apart, for we are parents without a nanny. So Cathy looks after our little rocker while I work out and vise-versa. We used to do weight-training, then Pilates (a very results-giving workout!), but now we're trying out this new regimen that you'd thought was put together by Linda Hamilton in her T2 days!

I mean, this routine includes 5 sets (done twice-each) of constantly moving and varied exercises with torture-referencing names like "frog-push-up", "mountain- climber", "leg-lift-with-lateral-arm-raise" and "crab walk." That last one is going to be fun to do at the gym... in front of the other fitness folk! I did the first routine last night and I sweated like [this guy], but without the goth getup!

I will be sporadically writing entries on our progress. My goal is to get from 195lbs down to 165lbs.

Wish me luck... I going in!

  1. Good Luck. I’ve been on my own weight loss mission, for a couple of months. I’m not sure I’m ready for Making the Cut quite yet, but will be interested to hear how you like it.

    Don’t worry mate — it’s going to be tough, I won’t lie to you. Keep your eye on the goal. Don’t forget that diet is a really important component of losing weigh, and 30 lbs is a really realistic goal (maybe not within 30 days). And if it means anything, I’m proud of you. Making this commitment to yourself and your family is something you will not regret.

    And once you are done, we will arm wrestle.
