pulk's Journal, 24 August 2010

So, back in April of this year I made fairly drastic changes to my dieting/general fitness routine which was basically non-existent at that point. Basically, I:

1. Quit eating fast food
2. Quit drinking soda
3. Became more active in general, including the addition of "real" exercise.
4. Limit meal portions, eat more frequently throughout the day.
5. Watch nutritional value of food (carbs, fat, sugars, calories, etc.)

I was about 215 lbs in April when I started the routine summarized above. I am now 188 lbs. I still have way too much fat--especially around my stomach. Even though I went from a 38 waist pant size to 34 since I started all of this... I still have the belly fat :(

This week I'm starting a new weight-lifting routine. I feel as if everything is shrinking but my stomach... so I'm going to lift/exercise to try and bulk up while at the same time cutting down the fat around my waist.

Measurements as of today:

Unflexed bicep / arm extended straight out: 12 1/8"
Flexed bicep: 14 1/4"
Leg: 17 3/4" about 3" above knee
calves: 15"
Biggest area around waist: 39"
Chest right over the nips: 45"
