Week Off: Fin

I'm going to be perfectly honest with everybody. This post, I'm just going through the motions. I genuinely do not feel like writing. In light of the fact that my Grammie Gordon passed away early Sunday morning, I don't feel it would be appropriate to pretend to be in good spirits, crack dirty jokes, talk tongue-in-cheek about how awesome it is that I'm losing all this weight, etc. So I'm just going to post the regular information, and I'll be back to good form later this week.


The heart and soul of the Gordon family.

After an intense 10-week workout, I took a week off. Didn't pig out too much, but also didn't exercise. And since I'm moving into a new phase of the weight loss, we'll call this my new starting weight, even though next week will count as Week 11.

NEW STARTING WEIGHT - MIDNIGHT, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 2010: 263.7 LBS.
WEIGHT LOST SINCE LAST WEIGH-OUT - 4.0 LBS.
WEIGHT LOST SINCE BEGINNING OF PROGRAM - 38.1 LBS.

This new program, by the way, will see me in the gym twice a week for an intense super-cutting program that combines supersets of many different exercises with five-minute increments of cardio. There will be about four days of cardio-only workouts during the week, and one day off as usual. This is a bit more flexible schedule than I allowed myself in the beginning.

Thanks for understanding, everybody. I'll be back to form soon enough....

Ok...

One joke, what the hell...

How do I feel at this exact moment? On a scale of Olga Sherer to Gilbert Grape's mom, I am definitely a George Lucas: overweight, happy, questionable facial hair, and possibly misguided in my attempt to take something that went amazingly well the first time and trying to improve it by constantly, CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY tinkering with it. At least I'm not enlisting a nerdy Canadian kid with no acting ability to play one of the most iconic roles of all time.


Yeah, I'm looking at you, Hayden Christensen...
