Day 90 - WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

Wow...can't believe I made it...i feel like I'm writing my senior caption for the High School yearbook...'Thanks friends , WHAT A LONG STRAGE TRIP IT'S BEEN!!!!!'
Congrats to all my group-mates, again apologies for not being very active on the blogging, but I was there huffing & puffing in the background...I maxed out at 80kg, down from 95kg and feel really really good.
The best part was all the people that noticed along the way, it really kept my motivation up and desire to never get up to 95kg again.   Will post final pictures tomorrow....

Day 81 - Wow, my Nose is HUGE...

wow...with my face so thin I'm realizing how big my nose is...before it was overshadowed by my fat face.  Now all you see is a big schnozola....You know who I look like? ever see the Pink Panther cartoons...the guy who was alway after Pink, the short little guy whose whole head was a nose.  That's me right now...one giant nose on my shoulders with a couple of eyes and a mouth....I like it!

Day 69 - It's been a while

Sorry everyone, I know it's been quite a while since I blogged.  I'm still on the program and feeling good...even with the 20 aftershocks a day and contaminated water.   Been reading your blogs as well and looks like everyone is going strong.  90 second planks....I'm not digging this at all.  I can do 90 seconds on the first try, the last 3 I barely get to 60 seconds.  I'm finding it's not that painful but my entire body starts shaking....
For all the egg whites we are having...I've gotten into the habit of drinking them raw with my milk...I don't even taste anything but my colleagues are calling me 'Rocky'.  Is there any advantage to raw over cooked?

Day 56 - Hope All in Tokyo are OK!!!

We just had the strongest quake I've ever experienced in Tokyo....all the drawers on my desk were flung open and dumped on the floor....REALLY SCARY!!!!

Day 56 - All Integrity Lost

Don't know if you remember an earlier post of mine where I said during the lat pulldown that the only thing I could think of was the 'integrety of that door anchor'.  Well, guess what?  During the row's last night in FULL extenstion, the anchor came loose and pegged me right in the stomach.  After writhing around in pain for 5 minutes I can see a large red welt on my stomach....oh man it still hurts...going from a lying down position to prone is brutal..

Day 55 - Ask Not What Your Body Can Do For You...

I used to struggle with the diet, was always hungry and craving.  That's starting to go away.  The one problem I have is when preparing my food at night for the next day.  For example, last night while boiling my cache of pasta, somehow a fistfull of the pene magically jumped out of the bowl and flew into my mouth.  I swear, it's not my fault!
Again, apologies for not being so active in the blogging universe...I'll try harder.  After I come home, eat, bathe the kids, put them to bed, and exercise...it's 9:30pm.  I have 30 minutes to chill.  Anyway, I have been reading all of yours as much as possible and even though I can't respond to you all, I'm with you in spirit!!
