A small victory
« on: July 12, 2007, 08:40:29 PM »
Small but significant to me.  I had my measurements done at the gym tonight, and after a year of being plateaued at 19.5% body fat,  it has finally budged.  I'm now down to 18%.  Not exactly earth-shattering news but it is nice to finally see the number go down, even if it is only a little bit.

Thanks, guys.  It's frustrating how slow the progress is.

Progress may be slow, but it IS progress.   Hang in there and keep plugging away.

I know, but I've been crawling now for longer than I care to admit.  And what I really want to do is run!! ;D

Ya know what....I love running (me, my shoes, my dog, and Metallica).
But I've recently has a fitness epiphany (where's Prof Melon when I need a thesaurus)....I'm 41, 6' tall, 202 lbs.
I'm never going to get to where I was 20 years ago. Despite the fact my diet really hasn't changed all that much, my level of exercise is close to what it was back then. Metabolism is a bitch.

I love my steak, my schrotinis and being a spectator at my kids' events too much to sweat the last few lbs.

I have given up so much, there really isn't much left to give up next. I've given up sweets, I haven't had any bread in 10 weeks and haven't had any alcohol in about 3 months, except for maybe 2 glasses of wine back in June.  I may be fighting an uphill battle but I'm going to win eventually or die trying.  I have to get this under control now, because I hear it's much harder after 40, and let me tell you, it's hard enough now.
