88 Days Until Hood. 700 Calorie EFX, 293 Lbs

Slept 8 hours. Down 7 total lbs from my peak. Feels good to be working out again.

89 Days to go. 700 Calorie EFX / Walk

Ate very well, got some good sleep.

This conversion almost killed me...T-minus 90 Days.

As I have done so often in the past, I let work get in the way of my health / goals. My company has been working on a conversion project (migrating 2 systems to 1) and we have been working some mighty long hours. We are going live on March 10th, but my programs are almost finished as we were supposed to go live today. In the meantime, I get an email from Summit that says he has booked the flight to Oregon for our Climb on the evening of May 19th. Thats 90 days from now, I need to get my ass in gear. I have been working out a few times a week but nothing like I need to be doing to loose weight and get in shape for climbing a mountain. So, I start over again today. Off to the gym in an hour for the 1st of 90 days in a row of intense training to get ready for this. The plan is to workout 2-3 hours a day, mostly cardio and lots of hills. Daylight savings time comes up early this year (March 11th) so after that date I have no excuse not to hike after work as well. 50 hikes up Marquam Hill after work should tune me up nicely for this climb. After Hood I would also like to Climb Adams, South Sister, Middle Sister and Rainer this summer.
