I am at a historically low level of fitness. I coasted through college on the fitness equity I built up through high school sports, and my lifestyle of lethargy has caught up with me. It's time to reclaim my body.
As a matter of record, here are some pictures of my gut as it is today. I think you should collect all your fat into the biggest piles you can when you take pictures like this. That way you get a real sense of what's there. Compare these pictures: Grotesqueness (1) (2) to these: Not as bad (1) (2) It's clear that standing up hides the problem greatly.
The stats:
I started working out again last week.
Ongoing, I will post my workouts in more detail as they occur. I will also include meals consumed on those days (not on others out of laziness). I'm not going on any special diet, so my eating habits on those days should be representative of my eating habits in general. For weight loss and increasing physical fitness, I think a regular exercise regimen is FAR more important than eating habits (assuming you eat normally and your diet doesn't consist of solely fat and sugar).
Simultaneously, I am trying to cut back on my Coke consumption. Over the past couple of months, I've been able to go from about 6 a day to about 4 a day. Recently, it's been around 3. I want to get myself to a point where my average is under 2. I think it's fine to have a ton occassionally (i.e. deadlines at work, or while playing poker all night), but I want to break the daily nature of my habit. I'm afraid of going blind.
I think I can tackle the fitness thing and the Coke thing with determination alone. No Atkins here. I like my rice.

What do you think of the foremost philosophers of this University? In spite of my oft-repeated efforts and invitations, they have refused, with the obstinacy of a glutted adder, to look at the planets or Moon or my telescope. by internet poker

I frankly confess mine - I cannot but think that at bottom they are of an aesthetic and not of a logical sort. by texas holdem

Posted by: paradise poker at November 23, 2004 05:24 AMThe human mind evolved to believe in the gods. It did not evolve to believe in biology. Acceptance of the supernatural conveyed a great advantage throughout prehistory, when the brain was evolving. Thus it is in sharp contrast to biology, which was developed as a product of the modern age and is not underwritten by genetic algorithms. The uncomfortable truth is that the two beliefs are not factually compatible. As a result those who hunger for both intellectual and religious truth will never acquire both in full measure. by world series of poker

Posted by: Bentyl at November 5, 2004 06:09 AMYeah, especially dark chocolate. I remember reading somewhere that caffeine 30 minutes before (or maybe within 30 minutes) of exercising can help you lose weight.
