SNPD - “2 months of work on myself” edition

This is probably one of the more intimidating things I’ve ever done, so if it comes off as vain, I apologize.  I don’t really post photos of myself for a variety of reasons, but as I’m using this as positive reinforcement, I’m making an exception today.

Two months ago I started an experiment aimed at getting myself healthy again.  My job is fairly sedentary, and the effects were showing.  I wanted to make a major shift, so I drastically changed the way I ate, and started going back to the gym.  I posted about the progress I was making back in March, and in the interest of continuing to motivate myself I’m posting the following photos and statistics below.

February 16th - 172Lbs:


March 8th - 163Lbs:


April 16th - 155Lbs (my goal weight):


So we’re making progress in the right direction.  I hit my goal of 155Lbs, which was a huge day for me.  I hadn’t been 155 since high school.  Not bad for changing your diet and working out twice a week.  For the next steps, I’ll be setting a new goal and adding two more days of workouts into the schedule in order to meet them; most likely another day of weights and a day of cardio of some fashion (soccer, biking, windsprints, etc.)

I might post pics in another couple months to show how any additional goals are coming, but for now, I’m damn happy with the results so far.

Now I just need to get a tan ;)

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
