Weight Loss Success (Sort Of)...

As I mentioned in a recent post, I decided it was time to get off my ass and dedicate myself to getting in better shape. So, for the last four weeks I have been faithful to a regimen that includes:

• An uphill bike ride of about two miles to the local sled hill.
• Once there, I walk the bike uphill about 100 yards to the start of the stairs.
• After some stretching, I proceed to climb the 462 steps to the top at a brisk pace.
• Once at the top, I get a drink of water, stretch a little more, and then jog down the steps.
• I repeat this climb as many times as I am able that particular day. The first day I did it, I was barely able to make it up once without stopping. Now, I usually climb it 3-4 times. My personal best is 5.
• Then I do a slightly longer ride home.

I can tell you that by the end of the workout I am dripping with sweat. The results are starting to become visible. My pants seem a little looser and my energy level is significantly higher. As you can tell from the photo, I have reduced the size of my gut and my man-boobs look like they're starting to recede.

Now, if only I could drop some of this nipple weight...
