Witness the fitness

Roots Manuva - Witness

The above song has really little to do with this entry, except for the first line of the chorus. Oh and aside from the fact it is an awesome track.

I'm at 155lbs now. Considering that's 30lbs difference over a year and a half incites me to add that this means I've lost substantially more weight in fat and have gained weight in muscle mass.

The best part of this is that I feel so much better; so much more energized, ready to go. Nothing is really stopping me from anything.

An interesting note: people who haven't seen me in a while say "you look really good" as opposed to "you've lost weight". I am not *that* much thinner: I am that much leaner, and stronger.

Bodily reconfiguration. Sweet. Witness the fitness y'aw.

Any secret methods? Pilates? Power yoga? Atkins? That frikin' ab thing that looks like a vacuum cleaner? Or was it the standard "eat less, move more" thing?

"eat less, move more"

Essentially:
Jogging up and down Mt-Royal every second day, push-ups, crunches, chin-ups.
Eating as little bread/pasta/rice, sugar and processed fats as possible.
No beer: wine and vodka, as appropriate.

This works for me. I do as I feel. I cannot and do not recommend anything... We all have very different systems.

Running up to the cross and back down will do it for sure... How about in the winter? Do you run in the -40? Snow is not so bad, it's usually pretty mild when it snows. I've tried unsuccessfully for the most part, and am going to try aqua-jogging this winter...
