Monday, day 1 of week 5

Alright, so todays the day, the day I have to take pictures. Im a little nervous because I sit and look in the mirror and Im really not seeing that much of a change, except for in my arms and legs. But I said I would post pictures so I have to psych myself up for them. First off heres a couple of my stats as of today:

Beginning of week 1: 8-27-07
weight- 177.5 lbs
gut measurement- 39 7/8"

Beginning of week 5: 9-24-07
weight- 167 lbs
gut measurement- 37 3/16"

Total weight loss = 10.5 lbs

Total inches around gut lost = 2 11/16"


Im really glad I took measurements of my gut from the beginning, because if I hadn't I probably would have stopped by now. Even with all your guys support and encouragement it is really a downer to look in the mirror everyday and still see a fat belly. But with the measurement numbers right in front of my face I cant deny that this program is really working! Much better than I had ever imagined!! So I sit back and think about the numbers for a second....WOW...Ive lost 10 lbs, and almost 3" in 4 weeks!! Thats frickin awesome!!!! Thats whats really going to keep the fire inside me lit!!!

Now that I have that out of my system, here's my pics from today:








Here's a comparrison set that I made from week 1 and 2:


As for todays week 5 routine, it went very good. I still had to do my usual warmup #1 because I didn't get enough stuff out of the way in the garage to allow me to use my jumprope. No biggy though. I stuck with the advanced level since this week is also circuit training like week 4. Today kicked my butt a little!! LOL The switching the balance ball from hands to feet KILLS my abs!! But I love it...and the balancing on the ball pushups really arent that easy. Its amazing how much it makes your abs burn....they remind me of planks...not so much pushups. I wanted to add some stuff of my own but ran out of time, maybe wednesday.
