I started doing crunches/sit ups every night before bed about 3 months ago to try to cut back on the bowling ball I've been smuggling in my shirt for the past 15 years which started with the heavy drinking I used to do. I haven't drank in almost 8 years now, and while I can feel the difference in muscle tightness around my stomach now, it doesn't seem to be having much effect on shrinking the bowling ball which is somewhat disappointing.

My partner and I typically go for at least a mile walk just about every day too so that helps a little I hope.

I still feel good about doing something rather than the nothing I've done most of the rest of my life.

I was thinking about seeing how much the gym down the road charges per month, but I've never been in a gym in my life, and I don't know if it would just be a waste of money or not.

Fist leg day in 3 years. Wasn't fun at all, but I survived.

I woke up late today and had to walk to the gym under a scorching sun, which didn't make it any easier.

This is day 2 for me this week, 3 more to go 💪

Did a 20 minute run and then front and back flies and heavy squats. I was going to do lat pulldowns but a bunch of people were hogging the machine and I didn't want to interrupt. This is my 2nd workout this week and I'll go on Friday again! I'm on a good work out routine over the last 8 months and I want to keep it going!

I feel and look the best I have in years. You can do it too comrade!!

I must go for a walk

Mostly arms 💪💪

4/5 for the week

[Oct 24th]

Very rough day at work, had zero energy left to do anything plus I arrived home late. Maybe I'll do some stretching now and tomorrow I'll make up for today with gym in the morning and a walk in the evening.

Still 3/5 for the week.

[Oct 27th]

Shoulders and back, plus a bunch of stretching and cardio.

5/5 for the week 💪💪

I already feel better than a week ago 😸

New thread tomorrow!

[Oct 26th]

Another very demanding day at work, plus it's raining. Only stretching again for today.

I started the gym last tuesday, so technically I still have tomorrow to complete all five days per week.

4/5 for the week

[Oct 23rd]

Pecks! Went smoothly, not much to add. 3/5 for the week.
