Tough Guy Tuesday - Week 3

I know it's technically the forth week, but I was in DC the third week and I didn't work out at all... so this counts as the third week of working out. I've kind of abandon the program. Now I just work out as much as I have time to whenever I have time to. I've added protein shakes, and some various dumb bell exercises when I get a chance. I feel better... and I think I look better. Maybe not much better than week 2. But definitely better than week 1. Onward and upward!

Tough Guy Tuesday - Week 2

Well it's been another week, and for the most part I stuck to the game plan. I started last Tuesday doing 75 push-ups, 10 pull-ups, 50 sit-ups, and 50 lunges. With each new day I added 5 push-ups, 1 pull-up, 5 sit-ups, and 5 lunges. Which means today I did 105 push-ups, 15 pull-ups, 70 sit-ups, and 70 lunges. The only thing I haven't had time to get around to is the running... I did jump rope for about 10 minutes one night.

As you can see from the picture there is no drastic change in my appearance from last week. I think there's a small improvement though, which makes me feel like this might be worth it. I know I feel a lot better, and I can tell that working out is getting easier.

I'm worried about next week cause I'll be on vacation. It's hard to exercise on vacation. But I'm determined to make it work. The only thing is that I can't pack my pull-up bar.

Anywho, that's all. See you next week.

Tough Guy Tuesday - Week One

I've began to notice that my arms are getting smaller and smaller while my pants keep getting tighter and tighter. I've decided to use public embarrassment and shame as my motivation for getting into better shape. Every Tuesday I will post a picture of my shirtless self to track my progress. It's also kind of an experiment to see if an average guy, with a hectic schedule, and no gym membership can still find enough time to make a difference in his appearance.

This Weeks Stats:

Push-Ups: 0

Pull-Ups: 0

Sit-Ups: 0

Lunges: 0

Minutes Ran: 0

Current Weight: 196.8lbs

Other: I think it's important to have a plan. As of now my only plan is to focus on the previous five categories and improving in them everyday. ie do 75 push-ups one day do 80 the next and so on. I also eventually want to gain wieght... bulk up if you will. But first I want to lose my little cushion around my belly... So my first goal is to lose ten pounds.

As you can see I've got some work to do. So, here's to hoping for a better week next week! Wish me luck!
