Hot for Con Challenge, earn your badge!

So the time has come to get serious about your (my) health. People seem to respond well to flashy things, so if you decide to join in on the Hot for Con fun, you get a flashy cool badge (see picture of robot).

What can you do in 90 days? Plenty, just look around on youtube, it's littered with before and after photos and journeys. 90 days seems to be the magic where people can safely lose weight or tone their bodies in a very dramatic way, and the results are not only visible, but it's enough to time to get yourself into the habit of being healthy.

So get your badge, start sweating and avoid the buffet line.






Here's the HTML for your badge, wear it proudly.

So what is Hot for Con exactly? I'm so glad you asked. Because you did ask right? I'm pretty sure you did. Dragon Con 2011 is in 90 days, and in that time period you must, if you're brave enough to accept, become the hottest you've ever been. Goals are important, you'll need something to gauge your triumph against. I have a weight goal, but others have what to get toned or built. These are hardier things to judge except maybe for arm or waist measurements, and pictures. The point is to get yourself in the best shape of your life, and all in the name of the geek community.

Set phasers to hot. (that was terrible but I stand by it anyways, like some of my past relationships)

How do I join? Leave a comment or send an email, link me to your blog or at the very least give me your name so I can put in the Hot for Con registry here.

What can you do to participate? Submit a before picture and if pure weight loss is your thing then I suggest you pick a day out of the week that you weigh in. I weigh in on Sundays, but maybe you'd prefer another day. You just looking to get tone?  Post your before picture.

At 60 days left, I'll have a call to arms with posting your progress photo, and then again at 30 days, and finally your official Hot for Con photo at day zero :)

Declare your goal, then kick ass by Con. You have until Sept 2nd.
