Greetings All,
I know it’s been a
while since my last post. I have been tearing
my hair out trying to get ready for Dragon Con.
I took final delivery of my costume this past week and had a photo shoot
in it only the next day. The shoot was
so much fun! We shot it against
green-screen so the photographer can edit them to look like we are truly superheroes. There was this awesome moment when I slipped
a bit and had to go down on one knee to regain my balance. The woman taking pictures told me my
shoulders looked great in that position and I should stay in that pose. That kept me flying high for the rest of the
day.
My hair is now
dyed the vivid red that it has to be for the costume. It has been an amusing at work for everyone
to see me with the red hair and their reaction to it. I am also getting the “You’ve lost weight!”
comments more than ever. 27lbs worth; I
hope they would notice.
As we are coming
to the end of the first major goal (in shape for the last superhero costume for
Dragon*Con), my trainer has requested the honor of the last post before the
con. Next week, look for pictures of
progress to date and some images from the photo shoot in costume. I have to warn everybody that after next
week, there will be only a monthly post until training resumes in January for
the next major goal.
What is the next
major goal? Well, ambitious as ever, I
have set my sites on a 2 year plan that will get me to 235lbs at 5% body
fat. At my height and with my body type,
that will be quite a challenge. However
I am a firm believer that the game isn’t big enough unless it scares you a
little!
Super-Jerry
