This fatty is still working. My next goal is to be under 200 lbs by the end of the year.
It's getting colder outside. I hate the cold, so that means my workout needs to change.
I've started doing something I also don't like. Swimming.
I gotta tell you, swimming is an insane workout.
I've plateaued a little in my weight loss, and I actually think it is because of the swimming.
The new workout looks like this:
Monday - Wednesday - Friday - Swimming
Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday - Running
I started out swimming and could only do about 32 laps - 1/2 a mile. After a few weeks now, today I swam 69 laps. That's over a mile. It took a little under an hour but it is a body-destroying workout.
I love running. Once I get past about a mile or so, everything gets smooth and I enjoy it. But it isn't a full-body workout. It works my legs and my core, but that's about it. It burns calories well, though.
Swimming, on the other hand, is different. I hate it. I can't get my breathing right and it exhausts every muscle in my body. It also burns calories well, but it also builds muscle a lot better than running.
I'm still above 210, but I think the plateau is due to the fact that I've never really worked out my upper body before. Even in the Army, I only worked upper body enough to pass the push-ups portion of the PT test.
Anyway, that's the new workout. Still moving, new goal. One-derland by New Years.
