They are both soccer players so their keeping up with me was not in question. It had been nearly a month since I walked the Savannah for time and then I set my best time of just over 62 minutes. Today with Cam & Ash pushing me I crushed that time and registered an awesome 58:18 minutes. Oh Yeah!, Thanks kids.
As promised yesterday I got the tape measure out and measured myself as part of my celebration for hitting 33% of my weight loss goal.

If I did my math right, and that 'if' should not be taken for granted; but if I did then I have reduced 13" off my apple shaped body so far. Hhmmm, sure; why not - Oh Yeah!
The upper arm measurement confuses me. Either I measured it poorly when took the initial measurement in April, or, the weight/strength training has been more friendly to my upper arms that I could have imagined. Not sure which really.
Another oddity I find in these results is the relationship of the girth, waist and hips measurement. The waist, where I wear my belt, was the considerably smallest loss of the trio. The girth is no surprise as the leader of this trio as it is measure across the widest mass of fat around my gut. Hips, allot of bone involved in the hip measurement but some upper butt fat too I suppose so no question for that loss. Hey, just an oddity as I said, I'll take these numbers!
Oh, forehead. So it didn't move but my progress sure has it feeling rather swelled at the moment.
How big is your Forehead?

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patrick on the oh yeah train! CONGRATS! You are doing the hard work & it is paying off big time! Yes, why hasn't that forehead swelled up! :-)
ReplyDelete1/3 of the way there!! GOOD JOB!!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Patrick!! Congrats on all the weight loss you've had so far! Sounds like you're rocking this out! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI always have issues measuring my arms. It's hard to find that EXACT spot to get a good reading. If you're weight training, it's possible your arms are getting bigger, but it's unlikely. Just assume you measured in a funky spot and try again next measurement-taking-day!
Yeah Patrick.. You are amazing.. I do not know what my forehead is, but I will measure it next time and see. Hey I will take a smaller head.. Ha Ha..
ReplyDeleteWhooHoo! You're doing so awesome Patrick! You continue to inspire me everyday and I love your consistent positive attitude!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Patrick! Not just the 40 lbs, but the tale of the tape says it all. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, the tape measure was friendly to me for once :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally making some great progress...this time it is for keeps.
