Here is another photo update. My tape measurement numbers have started shrinking again in all areas. My weight has also dropped drastically by 4.2 lbs (1.9 kg) over the past 4 days. I’m sure it will bounce up as it probably has been mostly water, there is no way I ws on a 3,500 calorie [...]
Here is my current state. I’m still not pretty but I’m getting there . From the last time I didn’t change too much but I think my triceps are coming in better with less fat around them, my flexed bicep measurement is about to drop a quarter of an inch, just not quite there yet. [...]
Since I went running for the first time on Saturday I felt I needed some better shoes than the worn out running shoes that I bought for everyday wear a year ago and they have long been decommissioned to lawn mowing duty. So I went to the local sporting goods store and started looking for [...]
I took another set of pictures tonight. My chest and thigh went down a bit and my hip went up. I must have measured it wrong the last time. My hair is getting longer and I can’t take a decent 45 degree shot for the life of me, especially now that my father-in-law wasn’t around [...]
New year, same pictures. This is the first set of pictures of 2010 and they show strong progress from the beginning but they also show just how much further I have to go. Since the last picture I have skipped two cardio sessions and did no strength training. I didn’t expect my numbers to be [...]
Looks like the size gain on my bicep and calf was just temporarily. They are back to where they were a week ago. Chest and thigh has shrunk another 0.25 inch. I had an equipment malfunction during the last set of photos so their lighting was not perfect but this time I had it all [...]
Today’s photo session was OK. I have actually gained 0.7 lbs since the last photos but I think there is now more definition in my back. My bicep, calf and thighs have grown a quarter of an inch but my hips and chest has gone down half an inch. Either the fat is migrating around [...]
Tonight’s photo update was pretty uneventful. I think it shows a bit of an improvement from the last one but probably not enough to make it worth talking about. What is different though is my face. Last time I was under the weather and did not want to take the pictures while today I was [...]
Since I’ve been feeling pretty sick it was a challenge to get myself to do the pictures. It is probably the reason behind my facial expression, I just didn’t feel like taking pictures. I have also felt bloated and like I have been retaining water. I don’t know if it’s from the medications or from [...]
Today was my birthday. I knew I was going to have cake. I knew we were going to eat out for dinner. So in anticipation I haev reduced some calories in the morning, skipped my morning breakfast and ate a light dinner. Even with all these precautions I have failed to stay the course of [...]
