Here we go again

So it’s been five years since the last post.

The bad news: I’m still not thin.

The good news: I’m not too far off the weight of my last post.

Here we go again!

Body for Life – Upper Body Workout (Ouchie1)

Awoke really late today–yay, Saturday!–but went to the homegym immediately so I couldn’t complain. No time to make coffee because I had to take my kids to Discipleship Day at Victory Greenhills, but I picked up a Cafe Americano at Starbucks. (Forgot to bring the other ingredients for a Bulletproof Latte; maybe I should consider bringing small Anchor packets and a tiny bottle of MCT oil?) Overall calorie count for today was 1,543 calories. Well-done, Ganns.

Back on the bus

What’s up, party people in the house?

*croo croo*

Yeah, it’s time to dust off the ol’ accountability website, because I’ve dusted off my gloves.

Nice to have you back, ol’ buddies.

Boxing was the most intense cardio slash arms workout I’ve ever had. It sweats me up like hell and feels like heaven afterward. It’s the best.

Presenting… the chamber of torture!

Here is the biggest commitment I’ve made to date. My home gym is up! Thanks to a really good buddy of mine, who blessed me with a weights bench and several plates–FOR FREE!–I now have absolutely no excuse. Except for blogging.

I got these tattoos so I can say I’ve got running partners.

Running is also a magnificent weight loss tool, but it’s been raining as of late, so it’s hard for me to get out there and pound the pavement. Still, my enthusiasm is high and I’m excited for what the future holds. Let’s do this.
