Lewis has challenged Gamble and me to partake in a half Ironman triathlon in September. I'm actually considering it, too.
So I got to thinking...I can do this. It's enough time to get back in shape, and it jives with my current weight loss goals, so why the hell not? If I can do it, I'll go from the worst shape of my life to probably the best. It'll give me and Gamble an excuse to hang out and not drink as much beer, and I know I'll feel better if I start a decent exercise regimen.
I sure as hell need to lose some weight - I hit 255 in December. Started doing low carb this week, and am sitting at 248 right now, but I really need to get down below 200.
So, I start looking online at Triathlon training programs, etc. and come across a BMI calculator here: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm
For the record, I'm 6'1" or so. Know what that means? My Decemeber BMI of 33.6 (@ 255) puts me well over the limit for being classified as obese by the CDC! I have to get down to 225 just to be on the high end of overweight, and 185 to be considered "normal!" 70 pounds is a helluva lot of weight to lose. I don't know if I want to get that skinny again, but we'll see.
