Time ticks away

Let's see... I'm still a bit wrapped around the "lack of difference" in my body shape, so I decided to take a comparative look, perhaps a little early given that we've got 17 days remaining...

We'll start with the relaxed front shot... comparing 1 and 73.





I apologize for the poor lighting on Day 73, but... ummm... maybe I should quit bitching about a lack of change?  No - it's just one comparison and poor lighting... I really want to argue this point some more.





Hmmm... small changes in the front flex. What about the back?





Some changes there as well... I notice the triceps mostly.

I don't know... the first front photos show a tremendous change. Plus there are those changes that can't be captured by the camera - my hockey playing has gotten so much smoother. That likely has a lot to do with the jump rope, but I'm also a little more stable when getting bumped around.

In more whiny news there is something slightly wrong with my left shoulder. I went to do the da vincis a couple of days ago and felt a horrible pain. I steered clear of the shoulder exercises and I've been generally quite careful with it. I've put a heating pad on it the past few nights, but I've been equally conscious of not letting it's weakness translate into poor form on the exercises. Today's didn't get me into much trouble until the kung fu situps - I got one set done and then it screamed.

I've done some prep for day 90 - I've ordered a suit (per the last post) and I've had a chat with the tattoo artist. Things are falling into place... now it's just pushing through these last couple of weeks to make a big change in my photos. :)

Go Cookie Monsters, go!
