Fitness Challenge!

So monday I rocked front squats and clean pulls, and finished up with box jumps until my legs pretty much refused to work.

Tuesday, to "stretch the soreness out" I rode my bike for 7 miles.

Yesterday I did powercleans and cleanpulls in a garage probably 100* or so...

Today? I ate some grassfed steak and broccoli after a 32-hour fast, smoked a cigar and drank some scotch. It's about the most I can manage... tomorrow evening more of the same, but Saturday it's back to the hot garage to do more cleans, cleanpulls, etc...

So I guess I need to take in the kilts again. My older kilts are a wee baggy about the belly now that I'm doing Insanity. I never though that I would want to lose inches when I was pulling in at 135 in highschool but it's been a really cool feeling to have that flat stomach back and still weigh 170! I feel great and will continue working hard after the race by doing the Insanity/P90X hybrid so I can bulk up again.

How are the rest O' the Kilted Crusaders O' the House O' Fit doing?

Just to feel involved I cut out bread and bought a bike, resulting in a three inch reduction in waist size.

Not only that but my waist has migrated South, so I don't have any short kilts any more, they are either long or extra long.

The general weight loss has also caused my upper arms to shrink, so all my long sleeved garments are now drooping over my knuckles.

I think that I will have to remake almost my entire wardrobe before the cold weather arrives.

The cuff for my blood pressure monitor has had to be replaced with a smaller size as it could not be made small enough.

Ah well - an opportunity to use up some of the stash of fabric and yarns.

I'm in Lensahn, Germany, crewing for my friend as he's doing a Triple Ironman.

Alright lads and lasses, the time has come. The NY Warrior Dash is this weekend. I will be running at 4PM on Sunday. Prayers are appreciated.

I have worked really hard for this. My goal is to come in the top ten of my age group. I'm a little nervous but I'll try to do you guys proud.

I have lost over 25 lb, 4 inches off the waist, my BP is in the ideal range - it was slightly high. My knees don't ache as much as they did.

Not bad in two months.

I hope you do well in your Dash on Sunday - it will be into the evening here in the UK, so will be thinking of you as I work on the new clothes I now need.

Go Hugh Go!

I'm late coming in here, but this thread is part of what kicked me in the ***, the other part was having my 20 year High School Reunion and realizing I am exactly 99lbs heavier than I was when I graduated. I've done the gym thing before with no results and I tried p90x but couldn't stick with it. I joined a local Crossfit gym and have already dropped from 246lbs down to 241lbs. I'm sore ever damn day but I am already feeling better.
