Finally Resumed Exercise, and have lost 1.5 inches!

Since last Wednesday, with a longer waistline!!

No time to write later last week, but as it stands:

I just did:

• 30 each ac crunch exercises, with my Total Gym set on level 6
• 15, 10 none and 15 oblique crunches, each side on

Wed, Thur. Friday and Sunday, 4/18- 19 - 20 and 22

I started:

36 inch waist and 42.5 inch gut and am down to a

35.5-inch waist and a 41.5-inch gut

My eating habits are their usual bad.

The longer waistline is especially encouraging!

One morning, my waist actually measured 35 inches and a few inches down 36.5.

It used to be one smallest part, bulging directly, rather than gradually, up to my gut thickness, with not appreciable length of waist in-between!

Got to go, get in a few reps and get back to the rest of what needs to be done here.

This is encouraging!

Aiming to resumed exercise next week

Do we all say that from time to time?


It looks like things are settling down in our household.
Teddy dog, who injured a toe nail is off antibiotics
and one of our kitties will be off his, owing to a nasty bite he got out side, will be off his shortly.

Soon School will resume for my daughter
by then my eating habits will have stabilized.

Distracted by events, I have gone from roughly 7 packets of ring dings a week to 1.
I have cut out potato chips, and lunch meats all together, these days. I do not know how long that will last.

I can say I am down to a 36-inch waist without exercising, out side of walking Teddy dog.

As I intended to make a valid test of:

Shaping up using the Total Gym

• to the extent I could fit it into each week
• Without Dieting

I will give it until next week to restart the whole

• Do my best to fit in some each day
• and Inches Off Friday report

To see what it really does, with what little I can fit in, fitness wise.

If I do not resume exercise soon, my back will tell me about it!

I do know I can count on a few ab exercises on it several times a week to keep  my back feeling good. That I know already.
Can I really, EVER fit in enough to loose, then keep off inches?
We shall see!
