Week 53
Monthly measurement night and once again no progress to note. Chest is up a quarter inch, so not a complete loss overall, but everything else is exactly the same, and the forearms are down an eighth of an inch. Sheesh. Might be some more fat loss, I suppose. I nudged on the all-time low of 169 again this week, so that probably explains the size situation. I would hope that I am slowly replacing the fat with muscle. I still have a bit to lose, esp. around my middle. Oh, that’s right, the waist is down another quarter inch. Total change in my waist over the last year is now officially down five full inches… incredible. Also means I have to replace all my pants!
Speaking of clothes, got looking at dress shirts the other night as I need to replace a few that are a bit worn. I was looking at the measurement specs for the various fits and find that I can now wear athletic cut shirts. I was really psyched to discover that! I remember my mom having to buy "husky" clothes (Geez, dating myself again with that term) for me when I was a kid… now I can buy clothes in athletic cut! Too cool.
I want to keep being able to buy athletic cut clothes so I will keep liftin’.

I don’t care what you say, pal! That’s progress! Great job. Believe it or not, you’ve been keeping my slug of an @$$ motivated. Us middle-aged duffers gotta stick together! Keep it up!
