burn, baby, burn

So Bebel just bought Wii Fit Plus (as well as No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle) last night.  Which means it's about that time again (and not a moment too soon).  Time to start getting some basic fitness/exercise back into my life.

He's starting up a "30 Day Challenge" to see which of us can lose more percentage weight in 30 days (which, thank you June, is exactly one month).  As unhealthy a goal as it is, we're both aiming to lose about 15% of our total weight in 30 days.  An unlikely (and probably dangerous) goal, yes, but I've actually done it before, give or take.  Two years back I dropped 35 pounds in 40 days (and it felt goooood).  Never managed to break below 210 though.  Getting my bike in ride-able condition soon too, so that'll help.

So then, that makes today Day 1.  I weighed in this morning at 241.4 lbs.  For those playing at home, every 2.414lbs I lose is 1%, so my 15% goal means I'm looking to lose 36.21 lbs.  I will almost certainly not pull it off, but I'd like to at least get the ball rolling.

Here goes nothin'

EDIT: Let me clarify, I'm not expecting to drop 36 lbs in 30 days.  That's more my "end goal" for, let's say the summer.  I'd like to eventually get back down to my high school weight of 185 lbs, but that's still a long ways off.
