Taking it down a notch.

I actually had to go down one notch on my belt today. My waist is either shrinking, or more likely I've stretched the leather on my belt to the point that I need to go down one to stay even. I'm not ready to compare to my base lines. I figure I'd do that monthly or even quarterly, starting 1/1/08.


I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 239. Wow. I got off and on two more times and got the reading I expected of 241. I'm sure the scale was thinking that I'm looking to darn good to weigh as much as I do.

For Abs I'm going to crunches with the occasional Evil Wheel. I just didn't feel sore the way I thought I should. I got a little in my pecs which I don't want. Nothing on the serratus. I may do the wheel one or two times a week as a supplement for added variety. I must admit I'm a little bothered by Swami's comment although I can't always tell if he's joking.

Workout:

Kettlebell Swings at 16Kg for 10 minutes. 15 reps per set, alternating arms on the top of the minute - 75/75.

Riding the rollers for 40 minutes.

Abs - Evil wheel on my knees 1 x 12, crunches 1 x 20.

Great! Even though I haven't lost any weight. Laura says she can see a difference. Today I noticed I'm on my second to last hole on my new belt! (46")

It’s still progress, even if it isn’t weight.

Are you refering to the comment about the evil wheel and my Dad? No joke. I remember it very clearly. I think I was 8-10 years old. Great Job with the weight! 5 lbs isn't it?
