Sickness death spiral

Anth and I have been passing a cold back and forth for weeks. I really, really thought I was in the clear. And today I'm back to sniffling and a low grade fever. But it's been great spending the day listen to him sing the Olympic theme in his chicken voice. Ah, true love is grand. And props to the boy for the pairs skating reference in the title.

I still managed to get to the gym today. Luckily the first day of my official workout plan was very easy. I'm training using heart rate zones and was in "zone one" for a half an hour today. I won't get into specifics of what "zone one" means, but let's say that the 80 year old darling lady next to me was going at a much greater clip.

My plan for the first month is to stick to the treadmill for my cardio work. I have the option to skate as well, but I don't think that will be viable for the first month. I'll be in the gym five days a week and at Oaks Park on weekends.

Oh, my rad friend Joe is working on a Slamazon logo. I've seen the comps, and it looks really, really good. It should be ready for public consumption in the next few days.

On the losing weight front, I'm doing Weight Watchers. It's totally sane and relatively easy, and I do it online so I don't have to sit through meetings. Fruits and vegetables are my new friends.
