jacked in MI’s BodyBlog

I wrote this as a reply to a blog post by ninjabill but I though I would share it also with others.

I returned home from a business trip to St. Louis today and flew Southwest, the airline that lets you pick your seat when you board the plane. Anyway, I get on the plane and find a window seat open with a slender lady already sitting in the aisle seat. So I take the window seat and start thinking that this is going to be a nice flight home with the center seat open. I’m thinking since the flight is not full no one is going to want the center seat

Well low and behold and to my surprise this fellow steps on the plane, probably 6′ something and carrying some weight decides to take the center seat of all places! I though that the aisle seat lady jaw was going to hit the floor. This smuck thinks that he’s going to take space advantage from these two “smaller” people. But let me tell you that he was in for a surprise

I maybe 5′6″ but I do have some broad shoulders to keep my seat space secure. I also noticed that the aisle seat lady was not giving up her space either. So this poor fellow who thought he found the perfect seat for his size ended up getting stuck with his hands on the seat in front of him and also with a slight leaning forward so that he could sit just in his seat space. Occasionally, he would try to expand his left elbow into my space but I would intercept it. He must have been pretty sore after this flight.

The joy of flying

Since September 1, 2007, the start of a challenge between a few BodySpace members, I have been successful at dropping 2.6% body fat from my frame  My waist is slightly smaller but I have been able to keep my other body stat measurements intact even with the fat loss. My body weight has also remained steady at 181lbs. 

I can report that I am happy with my results to date for the challenge. The other fellows need to look out, I’m getting ripped    

Keep training strong everyone! -Jeff
