Sorry for the delay!


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
