Starting measurements

So here’s where I started yesterday morning:

I am hoping for some big changes over the next 14 weeks, as I continue on through Power 90 and Power 90 master series, and the occasional foray into P90x videos. 

Off to work, got to get moving if I am going to walk the 4.8 km to get there on time.  Be back tonight after my workout. 

First Weeks results are in!

This will be a short update with more to come later. I attended my second weight watchers meeting this morning and was happy to see two other men at the meeting, I didn’t feel so…..like the only man in the room….lol.

The results are good:

weight: down 6 pounds
waist: down 2.5 inches! WOOOOOO…..

Am over the top happy about the waist measurement. I had the waist measurement of a 300 pound man when this started. Oh as an aside, I took full starting measurements and “before” pics when this started. I took pics this am before the waist measurement and if I get brave I may post a once a week picture in my blog to add yet another layer of accountability. I know now that my blog is out there for the world to see, friends, family, casual “facebook friends” and all those that are on that list! Knowing that I have to post those pics once a week, will give me incentive to keep it up.

I will post a more in depth review of week 1 later today, with what I did well, where I need to improve and my mini goals for week 2.

Where I am starting

The Truth is out there….and its not pretty

So here we go, below you will find my starting pics and my starting measurements.  I have given back alot of the progress I have made over the year (245 early April, had gotten down to 213).  The starting weight is a little inflated as every weight you see starting tomorrow morning will be first thing in the morning weight and this weight was taken moments ago at 8 pm.  However, I just wanted to get my pics up, and my measurements up while I am feeling brave, haha.

 

So here we go, first the measurements

BF %	30.3 %

So here we go.  There’s the ugly beginning.  Am ready to kick ass, and I need to do that, namely mine.

Hey if anyone out there is still reading this, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth again. I just don’t seem to have enough time in the day and am going thru a period where I am just trying to sort out my priorities, and for whatever reason good or bad, my blog has dropped down the list. I will try to stop these long breaks where I don’t write.

On a good note, things are going well. I am down to 228 and I just took my first of the month measurements and that seems to be going well. you can see my measurements from the link to the right there. I am progressing slowly, but progressing just the same. I am just about ready to go for a nice long walk with the dog, somewheres in the neighborhood of 10 km.

While updating my pedometer readings I managed to lose all of January. I have it on an offline spreadsheet and I will just have to find it and plug them back in.

Anyway off to get some fresh air and exercise.
