Sunday July 4. I’m 10 weeks in. I didn’t do the blog last week. Time is zipping by.
The good news is that I’m getting stronger. I did mostly pullups this week (rather than the bands). I can now do enough to make a difference, and I don’t feel totally drained towards the end. I do the entire Ab Ripper X with relative ease. Obviously its work, but its not impossible anymore.
Diet-wise I’m still not making much progress. I can’t really tell if I’m dropping fat or not; the measurements seem so random. If I was 35 with exactly the same body I’d be fitter according to the meter? That makes no sense at all. I think its all a load of crap.
Daily Schedule

Day 71
2 weeks left of workouts, then a rest week and I’m done. My thoughts right now is that I’m happy with my strength gains and not happy with my lack of weight loss. The diet thing is critically important, and quite baffling. I’m certainly not eating more than I was before and I’m working out rigorously an hour a day, and have lost no weight. Hopefully I’m gaining muscle and losing fat. But its certainly not overly noticeable. I suspect when I look at myself on Day 1 I’ll see the difference, but when you look from day to day you don’t see much. In the next 20 days remaining I simply must lose a few pounds. More water. No pizza. Less alcohol.
