All my life, Ive been that skinny dude. When I joined the Air Force, I weighed 130-something. I left in the 120s. Skinny body, skinny arms. My legs have always had all my muscle, something to do with all the long walks and bike rides I used to take.
Fast forward to today, and I am somewhere around 190 lbs. Not the skinny dude anymore, but not really looking too overweight. Kristin had pushed me into drinking diet Dr Pepper, instead of my preferred regular, and Ive lost about 10-15lbs because of it. However, Ive been thinking Id like to get back to the weight I was when I left the Air Force (hitting the cap, 176). So, Ive been paying a small amount of attention to what has been shoveled into my maw, and walking around a bit more at work, and its been helping a bit.
This week, I decided Im going to do a bit more, and maybe finally do something about my scrawny arms. Every hour I have to check this device for work, so I usually just walk it around. 10 minutes or so of low impact exercise. I decided that Id first stop and do 10 push-ups, then do my walkaround. I started this past Monday, and to be honest, I expected to "forget" to continue them by Wednesday. Surprisingly, Im still doing them on Friday. I think I might even remember to continue next week!
However, I think I am going to change things up with it a bit. I have been noticing Ive been starting off strong, but being real sore at the end (Ive never really been all that good with push ups). I am considering swapping things up, push ups and sit ups. Either alternate between the two every hour, or maybe push ups on Mon-Wed-Fri, and sit ups on Tues-Thurs. Maybe. Ill decide next week.
