the evolution anti-fatass challenge: end of week 4
And it’s going swimmingly. I weighed in at 266.6 pounds this morning, a change of -4.8 pounds since last week, and a change of -18.4 pounds since January 21. I now move on to week 4 of the workout. I still struggle with pushups; last night, when I did the “Bodyweight 200“, I had to substitute kneeling (”cheating”) pushups for some of the real ones in order to do them all. My arms, quads, and thighs could take no more by the end of it. However, the changes have become apparent to me. My gut rolls are no longer the handful they once were, and my shoulders are starting to square off. The fat is nearly falling off of my legs.
This week’s routine is identical to last week’s, except that the final workout depicted above must be completed twice with five minutes’ rest inbetween. Look for my name in the “rescue calls” section of the Journal-World.

keep at it; what you’re doing is saving your own life.
What, I ask you, could be more important than that?

It is said that losing 5% - 10% of one’s bodyweight reduces one’s risk of heart disease and diabetes by half. I’ve dropped 6.45% so far.

Ha! JD does girl pushups! To be honest, I’ve never been able to do more than a few real ones myself. In high school I could run 15 miles a day, but never once could I bench my body weight, which was 145 going into my senior year, 165 coming out. Now I certainly never will.
But I did weigh in at a svelte 228 yesterday, off 12 since Jan 1. 230 was a bear to break thru (took 3 weeks of 229- 233) but I think it’s in the past.
To celebrate I’ll spend an extra 1/2 hour on the bike tonight… That’s the only thing that works for me, so it’s the only thing I’m doing…
