Circumference Measurements

Okay...a few small changes from my measurements last time:

Measurements:
Chest:  32.5"
Bicep:  10.25"
Waist:  26.5"
Hips:  34.5"
Quadricep:  19.5"
Calf:  12.5"

New measurements as of 3/16/2014:
Chest:  32"
Bicep:  10"
Waist:  26"
Hips:  35"
Quadricep:  19.5"
Calf:  12.75"

In summary:
Chest: -.5 inches
Bicep: -.25 inches
Waist: -.5 inches
Hips: +.5 inches
Quadricep:  No change
Calf: +.25 inches

RHR last time-65
New RHR-50

Obviously, the greatest change would be the heart rate.  It now takes me a while and a hard effort to get it up there, darn it ;)!  So far, down 6 lbs, a few inches and heart rate is down.  Stay tuned for another update in a few weeks...maybe I'll have cleaned up my diet by then.

Update!

Okay, it's been a few weeks since I updated this.  Between my 150 mile commute per day, job searching, and trying to be an Ironman (again, but much faster), life has been quite hectic.

I've been able to get a few weeks of solid training under the belt so far.  My running is coming along nicely, as is my biking.  I've been spending a LOT of time on the trainer. Thank you, Michigan for sub zero days, monstrous snow storms, and everything in between this winter!

Swimming is...swimming, haha!  I'm not a good swimmer.  I'm getting my endurance back, but speed is probably never going to come.

My weekly workout totals:
Swim-8-10,000 yards
Bike-75-100 miles
Run-6-20 miles

Obviously, things change with each week as far as sport specific load.  I'm working out about 10-12 hours per week steadily right now.  I can tell the difference because a LOT more food is required than was required.

Here are some pictures of the change, not much yet, but my legs are a little more defined and I've lost a few pounds.

Weight: 109 lbs. (Previous weight: 115 lbs.)




I'm not even going to lie, I've been eating like CRAP!  Everything around me is falling victim to my jaws right now.  

I am going to take my measurements again and post those on a separate page.  We may see an increase in pounds for me next round!
