Countdown: 2 Days 'Til the Challenge

Two days to go until I start the six-month Karma CrossFit Challenge, which is designed to improve my performance, clean up my abysmal eating habits, and lead to a happier and healthier me. I have a few reasons for starting this blog:

1. I need to keep a food journal and workout log anyway, and I'm hoping the anecdotal background will be helpful in tracking my progress.
2. Having others read and comment will keep me accountable.

And 3...

I plan - at minimum - to make it to the Final Five. Then it becomes a voter's choice. Since Will nixed my idea of an essay component, I want there to be some way for other Karma CFers to get to know me. Hopefully my witty musings and charming humor will persuade them to vote for me.

So with two days left before I give myself over to Karma, I'm in full preparation mode. Went to Costco today and picked up some great new workout clothes. Then I threw in a half-dozen cinnamon buns (specifically, 2.34 pounds of cinnamon buns). It's going to be a delicious, fattening weekend.
