One Good Week, One Not So Good

I finished my 2nd week of my 8 Week Slim Down, and this week was not as good as I had hoped. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t perfect either. It started off good despite the fact that I had to travel to California for 3 days. It’s always difficult to stick to a diet [...]

March Measurements

Looks like I’m losing inches in some places. Of course my biggest muscle group is getting bigger (thighs). No wonder I’m not losing weight. I’m getting some thunder thighs. I can probably squat 200lbs if I tried. I’m not complaining about my thunder thighs just yet.
These are my March 2007 Measurements compared to the last [...]

March Progress Report

Wow! I just saw that I worked out 20 of 28 days in February. That’s great! These are the dates and calories burned. I should have a post for each of these dates too.

I’m pretty pleased with my progress so far even if I haven’t lost much weight. Still holding at 137 for a total [...]

Week 12: Measurements

Okay, I have been doing this fairly consistently for 3 months now. I was not motivated at all to start this week. After I started watching football on Saturday, it just continued on to Monday night. I weighed in at 138.6, which is pretty consistent with what I’ve weighed for past 3 months. I get [...]

Before Photos

This is what I look like at my worst. Unfortunately, that’s what I look like now.
I’ve been able to hide those fat thighs by wearing bagging pants. But the belly is starting to take over. You just get used to wearing larger clothing until finally, one day you realize you can only fit into [...]
