Our Classified Sales Manager Adam El-Sheemy has finally completed the “Boot Camp Challenge,” a grueling, thrice-weekly workout regimen set up by two personal trainers. Each week, he’s given us his scintillating report about the struggle. Now, he revels in his success.
Day 16: July 9
I’m heading for the beach on vacation, so I’m ending my regimen two days early, but the results are in — and, damn, I actually look and feel better. Check out these before-and-after numbers:
| July 4 | July 9 | El-Sheemy’s comment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 270 | 243 | Lost 27, but have 23 more to go |
| Arms | 16 | 15.25 | I see muscles! |
| Chest | 47.5 | 46.5 | I got rid of my man breasts! |
| Waist | 46 | 44 | I can fit into my high school pants. |
| Hips | 48 | 46 | Definitely less shimmy in Shemmy |
| Thighs | 26.5 | 25 | Do my thighs look fat in this? Well, yeah, still. |
| Body fat | 27% | 20.1% | Woo-hoo! I’m officially off the “obese” chart |
| Mile run | 15:03 | 12:31 | And no longer vomitting! |
