The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

Sixty-Four Days

I am 20.5 pounds lighter today than I was 64 days ago. I’m making progress. I now have 10.5 pounds to my goal of 165 pounds. I’m also working on increasing my overall fitness level by an exponent. I’ve been walking back and forth to the train station to work (I got a new job a month ago in San Francisco), which is almost two miles each way (my backpack weighs about 25 pounds). And eleven days ago, I started doing CrossFit workouts.

I’m really excited about the progress I’ve made and I look forward to chiseling myself into a well-oiled machine. Some of the workouts I do, even scaled back to 45%, make me feel like the feeblest weakest thing in the whole world. But, there’s a nice satisfaction with realizing that muscular soreness means progress. It just takes time.

29 Sep: 175.5 pounds (79.61 kg). BMI: 25.18. Overweight by 1.27 pounds
27 Jul: 196.0 pounds (88.90 kg). BMI: 28.12. Overweight by 21.76 pounds

Change: -20.5 pounds (-9.29 kg). BMI: -2.94.

Onward!
