Well, It’s been 6 months now that I’ve been going to the gym. It’s funny how stats and even pictures don’t really quite capture the progress. I mean, look at the two pics below\u2026 The lighting is better in the after pic, but it’s hard to really see the progress\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Before \"Progress<\/p>\n

The angle view shows things a lot better, but that’s in part to getting just the right shadows in the after pic that accentuate things.<\/p>\n

\"Before \"Looking<\/p>\n

I’m actually working on a small fitness site. More about that later, but you can see all the numbers for me on the site<\/a> (the site is still in development, so some things are less than perfect). But the sum total is that I’ve gone down in weight, gone down in body fat, but not all that much on either count. I actually wanna get a better body fat scale. The one I have just measures the fat in the legs – which hasn’t changed all that much.<\/p>\n

More than anything I can feel the difference \u2013 there’s just more muscle there when I feel different parts of my body. And people are starting to comment on the change as well. I think I look healthier and more athletic. In fact Max Sohl stopped by the other day and later commented that “You carry it well”. (“It” being my weight). I’m definitely in better shape heart-wise. It was a bit scary how bad I was at cardio 6 months ago. Given my family history of heart disease, that’s important.<\/p>\n

I’m actually stepping things up a bit. Going to the gym more frequently for shorter workouts. That results in me burning more calories. But I need to burn the weight in a way where I don’t lose lean mass.<\/p>\n

But slowly I’m getting there. It’s just a matter of time and determination to keep it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
