It's On!

OK. So I reviewed my previous posts. It appears that I became unglued on or after August 8, 2011 with that dang Reuben sandwich. I'm on track now.
Holidays OVER.
Mrs. Beat Ryan 2012's Birthday OVER.
Mini Beat Ryan 2012 and Beat Ryan 2012 Jr.'s Birthdays OVER.
My mind is fresh and focused.
The body is weak and decayed but the fire burns inside.
Hey Ryan. I saw your Mom last night. She told me about your regimen. Child's play. Protein drinks? Ha! I'm eating bones and drinking egg shells. Oh yeah. It's on!
PS. I hope you enjoyed the movies.

Happy Holidays

It's been a while for Beat Ryan 2012. Beat Ryan 2012 suffered a setback right around Halloween. Beat Ryan 2012 suffered through weeks of being forced to eat his kid's Halloween candy. He was back on track but then he hit a snag during Thanksgiving. (Who knew that there was so much cream in everything!).
Beat Ryan 2012 has conceded until after January 1, 2012. Beat Ryan 2012 feels that there is no need to self inflict mental stress upon his training regimen so he will start fresh on January 2, 2012. Beat Ryan 2012 just realized that this is the start of his offspring's Birthday celebration. So... Beat Ryan 2012 will pick up the pieces on January 15th.
Ryan should be very worried. Eye of the Tiger my friends.
Merry Christmas,
Beat Ryan 2012

Setback

Beat Ryan 2012 has suffered a training setback. At lunch today I went to the famous Denver institution known as the Bagel Deli and I devoured one of their famous Reuben sandwiches. Oy! I think I broke my cholesterol count.

Feel the Burn!

Dear Ryan,
You are toast! Today marks the day that your demise begins. If you're wondering what is up, let me tell you.
Today, I opened up the Wii Fit Plus that I purchased over two weeks ago! 35 calories burned in only 6 minutes. If you're wondering what I did. I marched in rhythm and waved my arms around. I also ran in place and chased a kitty cat around. It was quite a beautiful day today may I add.
I hope you're getting a great workout with all that texting!
Love,
Beat Ryan 2012

Opening Chatter

So...
Q: What possesses a 5' 9", 210 pound, 43 year-old man to challenge a 15 going on 16 year-old kid to a duel of physical and athletic feats?
A: Stupidity

I realize this now. I mean the kid has got some 28 years on me. He weighs some 60 pounds less. He's taller and more narrow than I am. The only time he feels the Earth's gravitational pull is when he lands on his feet after jumping. Dang, my head alone weighs more than he does. (I think that my head's circumference is bigger than his waist.) Shoot, I think that he even has more facial hair than I do.

Nevertheless, it's on! The challenge has come down and I will not rest until I have beaten Ryan. This will be my rally cry and I will post my accomplishments and shortcomings here. Next summer we will find out if I succeeded in beating my 16 year-old Nephew. Until then read about my Rocky-like training regimen as I prepare for the inevitable.
