Pictures IV - Week III

---

Hm, I was wrong last week. Wow time flies. This is actually the third week - the first photo was week zero, then one, two, and so on. Funny how that works. Go figure. This is three weeks of exercise. Next week is four where we'll do a straight up comparison.

Pictures, Part III

Only 3 weeks into it, and already some progress. Despite the bumpy start (Noelle got sick, my neck snapped, Lela sleeps too much...) we're back on track. It's amazing how little time it really takes - about one hour a day. One hour less TV - that's all. The real effort isn't the exercise; it's all the eggs, yogurt, and protein shakes. Thank goodness for the free day!

Eric, after 1 week:


Not a huge difference for Noelle or I chubby-wise, however, a huge difference for me muscle-wise. To be more specific, neck-muscle-wise. To be more specific, I sprained my neck. Note to all: when straining to hold 50 lbs of weight over your head - don't cock your head left (or anywhere).

The Ugly Naked Truth

What horrifying secrets most of us hide beneath our clothes. I heard somewhere once that winter was a better season than summer for people-watching - for every one person who looks good in a bathing suit, there are ten who look better in a big fluffy coat. These photos are of the latter species.

First up, Noelle:


I've decided to name these first pics. In particular order:

1. Care-Bear Stare


2. Glad to be Alive


3. Muffins are for Eating, Not Being

Now, on to me...

Ugh. Hideous. And to think I used to be cute. I dub thee:

1. Suicidal Accountant


2. Grandpa at 29


3. Shape of... Nuclear Blast?

Keep track of this first post... this is for posterity. I'm saving this as training device for my fat little grandchildren of 2043: keep in shape - this is your future, kid.

Beyond that, we will take new pictures every week, each month reposting this set for comparison. It keeps us honest.
