I’m going to lose 30 pounds by Tax Day, 2009. That’s only about 10 lbs per month. It’s do-able, right?

For my Christmas present, Peggy hooked me up with a nutritionist/personal trainer. I met with her last week about the nutrition part and I start work-outs Monday morning. So far the diet is easy. We’re focusing more on how to get the nutrients I need, rather than portion sizes (for now).

So I finally went grocery shopping today and stocked up the fridge with healthy food. I’m looking forward to this new, healthy lifestyle!

My goals are simple – I want to lose that 30 pounds and get into shape so that I can hit the ground running (pedaling) when bicycle season starts. Every spring for the past three years I have had to start basically from scratch with the bicycle training, and it seems like it takes half the season to get up to speed. I don’t want that to happen again this year. I’d like to be able to do a century in May instead of September.

Wish me luck!

Okay, this is just wrong.  You don’t want to know what I would have to do in order to make that happen, but there it is. Click the image to find your own magic number.
