Week 51
Wow, nearing the one-year mark… Can’t believe I have finally gone this length of time with a serious diet and exercise routine.
Found an interesting item this week, a card of body stats I made when must’ve been around 17-18. It was back when I bought myself one of those dumb Bullworker exercisers (geez, dating myself on this one!). It promised to make you buff and ripped in no time at all in just minutes a day… yeah right. Not unlike the various gadgets pushed on the Infomercials these days. But, I did take a set of starting stats. No date on this, but as I recall I was somewhere around 18 at the time, so it would’ve been 1982-ish:
Shoulders 48" (Now 51")
Forearms 12.25" (Now 12.6")
Arms 14" (Now 15.25")
Neck 17" (Now 16")
Chest 43" (Now 45.25")
Waist 36" (Now 34.25")
Thigh 20.25" (Now 20.5")
Calves 15.5" (Now 14.5")
Weight 197 (Now 170)
An interesting time capsule for comparison. My legs are the most disappointing, it looks like. Hardly any change in the thighs in 20+ yrs and the calves are actually smaller! Oh well. I thought it would be of interest to share.
Back to concentrating on the present. Weekly BF% check tonight was up 2mm. Arrgh. But it does bounce around somewhat, so I am not going to get too upset just yet, I will just try to eat a little cleaner this week. I will admit to a couple of doughnuts this week… guess it shows in the BF pinches.
So, I’ll keep liftin’.
