The big news of the day is that I have actually broken the 20 lbs total fat lost mark today! I purposefully wrote total fat lost and not total weight lost. Based on weight and body fat percentage I can confirm that I have indeed lost 20 lbs of fat so far. It is a [...]
Today’s photos turned out OK. I have a hard time with my 45 degree picture, I always end up looking like a true dork or like someone who’s about to take a dump. Today I did three takes on that one and I’m still not impressed. I kind of realized that I have been doing [...]
I had to postpone my strength exercise until after work because of our company lunch. Today was leg and abs day and I incorporated a new exercise into my rotation, standing calf raise. I kind of realized that calf presses on the machine just weren’t cutting it for my calf. Pushing it at 215 lbs [...]
Today I couldn’t do my lunch cardio as we had a company birthday lunch. So all I did was my 60 minutes of elliptical at the house. I’m well into the second season of 30 Rock now, Biggest Loser is over, Grey’s Anatomy is over, Flash Forward is over, I guess there is just not [...]

Since I’m fending off a bug I went easier on the cardio at lunch. Then for the evening one I was ready to pack it in and call it a night without actually doing it. My nose is running like crazy and it’s getting stuffy at the same time. The skin is getting raw under [...]
