Good news: I lost 4 kilo.

Bad News: It had little to do with working out. 1 day of food poisoning did more for my weight loss than 6 times at the gym.

Also, I didn't give muscle memory enough credit here. The parts of my body that were used in gymnastics are catching on quickly; while others that I want to improve that weren't as frequently used are lagging. I am having a hard time getting my legs to look any different, part of that is a knee injury that I am afraid to push to far. The other thing is I always had chicken legs... and so did my dad. (sorry dad!)

My arms, pecks and shoulders look  better. My stomach is slower to shape up but I am starting to see the 6 pack under the layer of jello.

I was so excited I went and spent too much money on a new gym uniform. Running in keds, wifebeaters and old cargo pants... well felt kinda... awkward. I hope I get to use it enough to get the monies worth out of it.

Unfortunately, most of the significant changes can only be seen while I am flexing that particular muscle. When relaxed it goes back to skinny mode. Hopefully week 3 will bring about more visible changes.

I am also thinking about starting to jog in the mornings, or buying a bike and exploring Bangkok. Anyone done this before?

I added new pics. Again I wont post them here, but they do live on picassa:

Oh this inspires me to get into action again I stop for a while and loosing 2-3 kilos is a hard job doing nothing!

Wondering how you look like after loosing that 4 kilos last time I saw you...you seem to be fit!

Wow you look great and i'm sure you could be the lead actor or porn ..... :D Well Done!! Cheers!!

I read this while eating Jello.

Exploring bangkok via bike is a good idea, especially your Pulmonologist will be happy

DC be thankful that your muscles still have a memory....!

I cant offer any help for your legs as mine have the same problem.Mainly my fault though i hate training my legs

so i dont often.
