Status report...going into month two

Week four?? No! Oh wow... I'm already into week five. Well crappers... I should be seeing results soon!

Ok, ok. I take that back. I'm seeing results now, it's just a little slow going at this point.

Biggest wins: swimming feels downright easy. Also, I'm moving my legs in a running-type way... although I'm still slower than tar. Biking has been... good. I still havent' fallen off.

You can see my first bike ride in this lovely picture. Yeah, I'm the dork on the left carrying my bike instead of riding it. This'll probably end up being my before picture, notice the spandex biking pants and the flabtastic shoulder and belly pooches. Wait!!! I changed my mind... DO NOT notice aforementioned body parts!

For the record this was week two, I am now able to proudly say I ride my bike instead of carrying it. It's speedy too. Paul and I went for a ride yesterday and his poor mountain bike just couldn't keep up... and he was peddling a lot more than I had to on my super fun road bike.

My progress for those keeping track:
Weight - 160.2 pounds
Hips - 39.75 " (lost over an inch since week 1)
Waist - 29.5 " (lost half an inch)
Chest - 36 " (lost an inch... oh well...)
Thighs - 25 " (no change...)
Calves - 15.75 " (lost a quarter inch)
Biceps - 11.75 " (no change...)
Neck - 13.5 " (lost a half inch)

On those commercials when they talk about how many inches they lost... well they usually add these numbers up. So by that standard, so far I've lost around three and a half - four inches... Not bad!
