Project Transparency | Task 1 Challenge 1| Go to the Gym or $25.00

by chris

tranparency.gifSo it’s come to this. I’ve got a problem. It’s totally solvable. I’m nearly 32, and I’m in TERRIBLE shape. Not Terrible when compared to an American male that’s in his 30’s but terrible by any other standard.

That’s going to change. As soon as possible. This is project transparency part I, entitled “Getting my fat ass to the gym.” This is begins 2/13/2008, and ends 6/30/2008. This is an absolutely everyday challenge, and EVERYONE who catches me screwing up will get $5.00 if they comment.

The Rules:

I have to be at the gym, and prove it, every Monday through Friday by 9:15AM EST, or I pay out $5.00 for the first offense, per person, $10.00 for the second offense, per person, and $25.00 for each subsequent offense. I must maintain an average of 95% or better monday-throguh-friday. This can get seriously expensive, folks. I want my wife on my side with this–throwing my ass out of the house.

No excuses. Not sickness. Nothing.

How do I prove it? Simple. I JOTT TO BLOG + Hand the phone to the front desk. The receptionist at the Westerville Athletic Club must prove I’m there.

If not–everyone that sends an email to: fatchris@tendayteam.com by 1pm…OR comments on the blogpost…

…gets $5, $10 or $25 bucks. Everyone. Period.

The thing is, kiddies, I can’t afford that. Not with the fact that I’m still paying for 2003’s taxes (good year, bad judgement). Not with the fact that my (to be posted about) listlessness has produced.

Caveat: If there as a bona fide error in the part of Jott (and I’ll be honest), then bets are off. I gotta prove that though; that I tried to make the Jott. That’s the only “out” that I have, and I’ll probably

This doesn’t control if I work out–so I’ll get a control in place iff I fail that.

Later on?

Looking seriously at HEAP CRM.

Chris… I just love reading your blog. You’re being so honest and open!! What a wonderful challenge you’ve set for yourself…

I could always use an extra $25 — although your US moola ain’t worth as much as it used to be (I’m in Canada)! But I’m in anyways!!

Go, Chris, Go!

(PS – What’s your time zone? I’d love to know what your 1pm is in my time)
