Yesterday was a fine day on most accounts. Got in another walk. This time my son & I hit Lake Andrea. The last time we went you may recall we decided to jog the last 1/4 or 1/5 mile and I struggled then more with my pants falling down than with the jog itself. Well we did the same this time but I didn't have the pants falling to the ground problem since I had on a pair of 42-inch waist vs. the 46's I was still wearing then. The better fitting pants didn't make any difference in time I am sure, but something did, as yesterday we finished this 2.25 mile trip in 34:57 for a cool new PR around this lake.
This week I believe I've walked about 11 miles in making up for the fact I am not supposed to be lifting weights this week (thanks Doc), 11 miles - cool.
The first time we got close to doing Lake Andrea in 40 minutes; I thought I was faster than anyone possibly could be, outta my way because you can't touch this cool breeze. I'm not a ego fueled head case usually, we all have our moments, but I recall being really stoked over 40 minutes. Now we've knocked that down to under 35 and I have to wonder how much more time can we knock that down? Time will tell.
Progress Pictures... I have updated them. Recently I hit the 40% progress made towards my goal milestone. Yesterday I finally took the pictures of me at this new and cool weight. These pictures are now up HERE or under My Progress Pics link at the top of my blog. I also added a side by side piece for a better visual reference of where I was 152 days ago and where I am today. Needless to say I am quite pleased with these.
How about you, do you have any cool recent progress pictures, or before & after pictures, to share?

I posted a photo of me and the BFF yesterday. Nothing to commpare it to as it's the first full body shot I've posted.
ReplyDeleteYou are inspirational and wonderful. Thanks for being you!
An ode to Patrick's Chin:
ReplyDeleteChin chin, you are flappy and sweet.
I've never described you as petite,
But you surprise me!
I have one chin, not three!
Before/after pictures are so much fun;
When I see them, I am stunned.
Is that MY jaw?
So bonnie and braugh?
May I shrink very quickly
So henceforth I shall not be so thickly.
My handsome and pointy chin!
I'm a new person in this skin!
I don't have the talent for rhyme like Christine but WOW! Really puts into perspective, doesn't it? Congrats on the PR and thanks for sharing the pics! Really provides some motivation for me.

ReplyDeletePS. I tried to come up with a witty jingle or sonnet to compete with Christine, but ALAS, I am not feeling creatively juicy this morning. Mayhaps another day.
Patrick...same fantastic guy...but less of you. Way to go. You look fabulous and I love your poses. Keep knocking that time down. What a great Victory!
ReplyDeleteLess fabric must have made you more aerodynamic.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You can see a HUGE difference. No pun included... lol Honestly, GREAT job.
ReplyDeleteWhew, all of you are making me blush. Being of Irish /Scotish heritage when I blush, I go RED.
ReplyDeleteThanks allot for the kid and supportive words. They mean allot and you all have played a bigger role in where I am now that I have probably put into words so far.
Thank You!
You are looking awesome dude!!!!! Great stuff. YOu must be stoked.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics Patrick! I'm not real big on posting pictures of myself, but I did put one up today. I almost made it a "riddle", but then I thought that might be too dangerous for people to guess the zipper location.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I said yesterday the Octagon was throwing me off, I meant Pentagon. Post more riddles, that was fun!
Dude, this is great! You look awesome and I know that you are still moving downward. Congrats on your great success! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteso great!! You are rocking this Patrick!!
ReplyDeleteSo what you really need is a limerick?
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man named Pat
Who was no longer extremely fat
He went to my board
And found an award
And thought, 'wow how about that!"
Patrick, great photos! I never really considered it before, but I may see about doing before & afters myself.
