Abs in the kitchen - a timeline journey

OK age 64 here with 9 months in my current fitness, health and wellness journey, and eating pretty much at maintenance. Training-wise, I'm not a hypertrophy guy, do zero direct ab work, there's nothing special about how I'm eating in the macro department but I'm eating at maintenance to the best of my abilities. I sit for a living and my claim to fame is that I'm basically a lazy guy.

Here's this morning, 172.0 lbs. My goal weight range is 172-177 lbs. I obviously have some work to do but see progress nonetheless from 8/31/2018 when I began my current fitness, health and wellness journey at 210.8 lbs. I don't have a photo for that day. Definitely packing some loose skin that's the direct result of having a fatboy gut but I do see a 4-pack starting to come up for air. Do have some more bodyfat to chisel off but I have no defined percentage goals in that department, I'm more interested in improving my cardiovascular conditioning.



For comparison, here's me at age 51 when I trained with the Olympic lifts and karate, probably at 180 lbs, again no direct ab work and nothing special in the eating department.



My current training is kettlebells, pull-ups, bar dips and running with some other odd-ball stuff. I follow no training schedule but train intuitively depending on how my body is feeling. I am beginning to train a little more structured for a 6-mile fun run I'm entering at the end of July.

Bottom line, I've made some progress but have some work to do.
