Blind Prophecy

So I just came back from my last trip to the gym across the street. Final weigh-in is a drop from 217 to 191 pounds in 16 weeks.

My main priority has been cardio and aerobic exercise, because I’m more concerned about the health risk associated with carrying belly fat than getting big muscles. I included the occasional weight lifting session, but almost every sticker on my chart represents 30-90 minutes of jogging or stair climbing.

I’ve also been counting my calories and eating smarter (read: cooking at home). If I don’t eat every 2-3 hours, most days I struggle to reach my daily calorie goal.

So, here’s the before and after:

Not exactly shirt-off-at-gay-bar results (and a side/profile shot would be more impressive if I’d thought to do one), but I’m proud of progress.

Next week: jogging in Central Park.
