Weighty Matters
Posted by moonimus on Feb 21, 2008
I haven’t posted my last two weigh ins because I’m depressed about them. The last two weeks I’ve weighed in at 232 lbs. That’s 2 lbs above my starting weight! What gives? I know I’ve been sick but I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a while. My diet hasn’t really changed since I started. I can only conclude that I am not exercising enough.
Remember, I’m trying to work my weight off first through physical exertion before I make adjustments in my diet. I will keep working at it. I’ll have to go to bed earlier, and wake earlier. Commit to at least 5 days of exercise, even if it’s 15 minutes of walking. That 15 minutes is better than nothing. Also, I got replacement clips for my Caltrac for free here! I will have to reevaluate my lifting program. I think it definitely contributed to me getting sick. I need to ease back into a routine and make small increases in the intensity of the exercises.
On the advice of Mr. Lowfat, I’m giving this little routine a try. I always wondered how gymnasts were able to sculpt their bodies. It’s going to be pretty insane once I can do Straddle Planche Pushups and Straddle Front Lever Pullups. You can ask most of my friends if I could ever do those and most of them would say, “Heck no!” Well they probably wouldn’t use the word “heck.”
