2009!

I guess this is the place that I should post my New Year's Resolution. So, in 2009, I have decided to be more selfish and more of a jerk. It will be a long hard year to keep it up, but I will try to stick with it! :-)

In other news, I will be joining the "I lost it at the Club!" program at the Fort Collins Club. It is an 8 week program and the goal is to lose the largest percentage of body weight over that time. The man and woman who do will split a cash pot. Last year it was $300 each!

Now I realize that body weight is not the best measure of weight loss. Body fat is a better gauge because it allows for doing some weight lifting to improve muscle tone. But this fits in with my goals as I wanted to get below 215 lbs. and then start mixing up cardio and weights for a better body overall (and more power for softball and golf).

My goal will be to lose 16 pounds over the 8 weeks. I don't know what percentage that is as the "official" weigh in is not until Tuesday, January 6th. But it fits with the recommended safe weight loss goal of 2 pounds per week.

Once again, I will keep track here. This will at least give me 8 new posts for the first quarter of 2009!

I will also keep track of the 2009 "be a selfish jerk" resolution.
