Middle aged fatness fupdate that no one will care about but idgaf.
Down 20lbs since the rosebowel. 30lbs since this time last year.
Lots of Hiit jumping rope. I'm actually getting pretty good. Double unders sustained for 20 seconds at a tim now.
Regularly walking several miles a day now which helps with the soreness from jumping rope.
Have also been doing intermittent fasting but jumped from being able to do 16-24 hrs at a time to 24-72 hrs and it's surprisingly not that much harder.
Looking forward to fitting back in my wetsuit and going surfing again. -
I started working out again about nine months ago after taking about a decade off. Was finally starting to get a gut, and I promised myself if that ever happened, I'd do something about it.
Unfortunately, I'm finding that I can't stay uninjured for more than a couple of weeks at a time, so I'm not really making any gains. Since December, my sore shoulder from a prior separation has become an "every time I use my left arm" problem, I partially tore my achilles and calf playing--no shit--one step of basketball, I pinched a nerve in my lower back that knocked me out for two weeks, beat the hell out of myself crashing a motorcycle, and both knees have started intermittently hurting from prior surgeries.
I feel like instead of turning 39 I went straight from 38 to 60. It's fucked up. I want to get in shape, I have the time to get in shape, but my body hasn't been cooperating at all. -

The sleep deprivation and all the takeout me and the mrs. doogbot were eating after the release of doogbot_2.0 had me put on like 30lbs in a year. I was determined to get rid of that before the release of 3.0 and not make the same mistakes this time around.YellowSnow said:

Add in @Tequilla #fillthepants challenge and I think I should be back to a trim father figure instead of the fat dad bod. -
The first 10lbs I lost was way harder than the last 20lbs. My body was out of shape and the extra weight made working out that much harder. I highly recommend even basic walking and even 16/8 intermittent fasting just to cut some weight off to make working out easier. My mom lost 40lbs with just those two things. Sedentary life will kill you faster than smoking.1to392831weretaken said:I started working out again about nine months ago after taking about a decade off.

I think I've actually put on about 10lbs since joining Hardcore Husky and am dressing out at about 6'6" 215 lbs now. Trying to bulk up for the 7-11 showdown with @creepycoug .UW_Doog_Bot said:
