30DWW, Day 29 Today I wrapped up the sorta-30 Days Without Weights, and though I didn’t lose as much weight as I wanted, I’m pretty sure I lost fat since I went down a size in buying new pants and … Continue reading →

30DWW, Day 26 So far my biggest sin in 30DWW has been skipping the burpees (two were unavoidable, one was voluntary ), and I’ve paid for it with my very slow weight loss, but still, I haven’t been 198lbs. in … Continue reading →

30DWW, Day 24 I really didn’t feel like hauling my butt off to the gym this morning, and when I was there, I was seriously considering doing yoga instead, but I decided to just go ahead. What helped was getting … Continue reading →

30DWW, Day 12 Since I took the day off from work today, I came in later in the morning when the gym’s airconditioning was working at regular capacity, and this made a world of difference in my performance, which, unfortunately, … Continue reading →

30DWW, Day 10 I tried out my first "Body endurance day" yesterday, and man, it wasn’t pretty. It alternated jogging and doing this thing called burpees (henceforth also known as "barfies"), but not knowing any better (because I can never … Continue reading →

30DWW, Day 8 Took two steps forward and one step back today. Got a bit better with Station 1 (push-ups and crunches) and so I’ll add a few reps next time. Got killed with Station 2 when I switched to … Continue reading →
