Getting into shape.

Today's workout done. Right around now is when all the big exercises get bumped up in weight, going to have to figure out to either do that, but my other barbell is awkward to move around as it is like 8 feet long, or find other exercises to do.

I really do think I have lost weight this month, cut back on a lot of things, like using less lunch meat on my sandwiches, less eggs in my wraps, and eating a lot more fruit. I guess I will find out in a few days when I weight myself.

What are your thoughts on exercising at night?

I guess I wouldn't be opposed to it, although I usually have something to do at night.

Another workout done. Today I bumped up the weight of the curls and squats to equal that of the bench press. The curls were a bit of pain without using the curling bar, but I should get used to it in time.

First thing in the morning when wake you up.

And according to my wife, it's after you've peed and you have to be stark naked and exhaling!

Checked my weight this morning and it ranged from 332 to 338, so I either lost 3 pounds or I gained 3 pounds. Something tells me I am still not doing something right.

Pushups: Remember to go slow. Two seconds down, pause, two seconds up. Push from the arm pits! Keep up it man.
Just imagine where you'll be this time next year

That is true. I think the next step is to really look at what I am eating.

One step at a time, my friend. Hey, you should take photos of yourself as you progress. Once monthly for the next 12 months

I could do that. I'll have to reweigh myself though, it was weird how I was either 3 pounds lighter or 3 pounds heavier.
