Ugh. I’m not sure what happened to the scale, other than chicanery or perhaps mischievousness. Apparently I’m up in the stuff that I should be down in, and down in the stuff I should be up in. Weight: Now 242.2 lbs, Previous 238.6, Total Change +3.8 lbs Fat: Now 36.6%, Previous 35.8%, Total Change +1.2% [...]

I’m currently doing “Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength“, which I do when I’ve been on a gym layoff for a while. It’s an excellent “get your butt back in the gym” routine, which has few exercises, and really gets your major muscle groups engaged quickly. It’s just 5 exercises, but you do a lot of reps [...]
Hey hey! Thought I had forgotten, didn’t you? Well, you’re right. I did.

The first week’s weigh in happened this morning, and I’m a little nervous. Either I screwed up my weight last week, or I’m about to have a 3 week plateau.

Okay, so CJ’s got his little plan…but come on, he’s never gonna win when he’s up against the B-Roqq. I’m all about the technology and the edumacation, and I’m motivated like a MOTHER! So here’s my plan. Diet – I’ve read The Metabolism Advantage, and I’ve been half heartedly following it for a few months [...]
I’ve taking the first steps (pun intended) on my path to fitness (and Belly Off domination). I’m taking the “Learn To Run” course from my local Running Room. The course is a run/walk approach to running with an end goal of running for 20 minutes. So, being the geek I am, I started looking at all the [...]
Well, we’re $$ committed now… We just bought an official “Belly-Off” scale. This marvel of modern technology can tell as many embarrassing things about ourselves. After programming it with our sex, ages and height, it tells our fat, water and muscle mass percentages. Here’s a pic http://www.prodex-hk.com/PEV-165E.JPG.
