Thanks everyone for the kind words on my "before" pic. It isn’t bad at all and the jock doesn’t hurt. hehehe.
I weighed myself today and I’m at 186.5 lbs (naked). My body fat is between 15-18%. [1]I did the old measurement style which is never accurate but close enough. I’m shooting for 8-12%. [2]Anything lower isn’t too healthy as you have no reserves for when you get sick. Your body immediately cannibalizes muscle for energy. Not a lot for a goal of 6 months so you can see I’m not really going overboard. lol However, I plan on focusing on building more muscle as well so the two goals together does present a bit of a challenge. I wanna get my muscle weight up to about 195 lbs. As soon as I do my measurements, I’ll list out the current vs the goal.
Today was my first day of cardio. I only did 3 miles. Not bad for first day. I get bored easily so I did 1 mile treadmill, 1 mile elliptical (spellling?) runner, 1 mile on the stationary bike. I plan on adding the stairmaster as well in a couple of weeks.
I’m not trying to be vain however, now that I’ve told everyone about my goal, it makes it harder for me to ignore it. I don’t like telling someone I’ll do something and then not do it. Just sticks in my craw when I do. I figure this way now I’m on the line and have to deliver. There is always a method to my madness.
Wish me luck!
O.M.G. You’re *so* not a heifer.
I’m jealous.
I’ve got to get back to the gym. Once all my work is over that is. Not enough hours in the day currently
Yeah, definitely not a heifer. I’m sure you’ll reach your goals before the 6 months are up.
YOU CAN DO IT!
And if you are a heifer, then I don’t wanna know what you think of me! LOL!
Okay, Ill join you, My picture is posted on my site, and I will weigh myself at the gym today, I think it will be around 186 too
Ok, guess I am late about the compliment about your “before” picture. Nice chest you have there! Not sure if your goal is to gain just more muscle mass or to improve the muscle definition. Good luck to you for either way!
Isn’t there a rule against using footnotes in blog entries?
Damn- I wish I could just get DOWN to 195. The funny thing is that I do lots of cardio (swim, bike, elliptical, run– I can run 5 miles no problem).
But still I’m a fat fuck.
You are SO not a heifer! Get out *pushing like Elaine on Seinfeld*!
A bodyfat of 8-12% is what I’d love to have too. I just want all my residual loose skin to tighten up.
