Oh, And About "The Challenge"

"The Challenge" was a bet between Andy and I. I was to lose weight and be under 300lbs and Andy was to bench press over 300lbs by my birthday (December 6). This would be a change of 15%, with me losing 15% of my weight and Andy increasing his bench press by 15%. We started early July and we both started off great.

Well, Andy came the closest with a bench of 300lbs; however, 15% would be 305lbs from where he started. I call that a win in my book. He was more motivated and progressed better. I had a foot injury at the end of August and used that as an excuse, even as Thanksgiving approached when my foot was finally back to 100%.

So the bet is still on, we just haven't picked a new date.

Round 1 goes to you my friend...

Anyway, game on!

What do you have in mind? Another "contest"?

I want to get back to where I was before hurting my foot. Once there, I want to break 300lbs in the same number of days that were left from that point until December 6th.

So once I get back to that starting point; game back on? I know you have a break coming up with your vacation so I should be able to catch up some.

August 16th was my last day of workouts before hurting my foot.

Once I get back to that weight, we will have 112 (August 16 - December 6) days to get to our goal. Not sure when I will get back to that point though.
