Whew! That was painful. The soreness in my arms has gone down, but my abs are still rebelling against my goals. I had Liz watch my form last night and she says I am dropping to a good depth, but I may need some unbiased feedback. My set today was not as invigorating as Wednesday’s. I did the minimum requirements: a set of 11, a set of 15, two sets of 9 and a “Do as many as you can do” set of 13. My abs are numb right now. I have been stretching every day to try and loosen my muscles, but right now I feel as though I have been suspended upside down by my toes and all the blood has rushed into my arms and hands. Hopefully next week gets a little easier.

Wow! You really are giving us a day-by-day update! And that picture is somewhat revolting! If that’s the end product, I think you better stop–turn back now!!!

I am giving the daily report (3 days a week), but it is more for me than for your benefit. If I didn’t have some form of accountability, I would have given up. It helps keep me honest with myself and keep up with it. As for the picture, this guy gave me special “vitamins” he said would help me get strong and then used his special Futur-ograph to take a Futur-opic of what I will look like at the end of the 6 weeks. Only 15 posts to go :0

Good luck! Let me know how you do. For me, who never does any fitness and eats Oreo’s for breakfast, it has been quite difficult.

That picture scares me.

I once made it to 88. But my form was so bad it was probably more like 50.

So day three…. a couple months ago? What happened? Did you finish and just stop posting? Saw your photo on facebook and was curious to see what you were up to these days and some how made it here. In case you were wondering, I am Johns little bro. from good old wichita.

Ha! No problem. Yeah, I crumbled under the weight of my own not-so-scrawny-anymore body. It is embarassing. I was hoping public humiliation would keep me from giving up… I look at more as an opportunity to start again than “giving up.”
Wichita ROCKS! Anyway, it’s nice to hear from you, Jason. Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be sure to get back on the push-up thing here. Honest.
