Pictures!

Ahh forgive me reader, for I have been a lazy ass. Ahh~ things got busy again and my blogs always suffer, you'd think that having more to write about would have the opposite effect but apparently my co-ordination is just not that smooth.

Anyway!

Pictures:
And, incase you can't tell the difference between this horribly and somehow totally jaundiced picture (ahh I can't even remember how I saved this, I am so tired) heres some annotations:
I don't know why it is sepia toned. I need to go to bed. Anyway if you can't read the labels: PECS! BIGGER ARMS! TIGHTER STOMACH! :3

Day 2- uhm... Something.

I've had all sorts of connection trouble in the evenings these past few weeks, and can you guess what time of day I usually get to blog about working out? I haven't stopped but I also haven't been doing a full workout since my last post, so today is day 21 really. I did a full routine and now I am tired and hot but damned do I feel good.

This: omigosh. Is my current favourite thing. And I really want to make an animation for this but I don't really have enough time during the day to do more than one animation a week.

And this week is a my thingie thing for youtube. I'll post on my main blog when its done.

Luff and stuff - SR

OH I'm going to post results pictures HERE next Friday, so thats the 11th of June incase you're confused by that colloquial term. Look forward to some topless britishness or something.

Day 20: Late

Yesterday I only did a light workout, but today I did a full one, but I didn't get time to do the blog until just now, aaaaand now its time to sleep. I'll do two or three days fine and then have a day where its really difficult to work out, not because I am tired but because I just don't feel like it. This could be because results day for my recent hospital appointment is tomorrow, but it might not be. I dunno.

Bleh.

Today's workout was nearly the full one that I posted earlier, though I keep missing bits out, I am getting closer to having a perfect routine for my body. I have added a new kind of situp to the core section which will apparently flatten my abs more, and I have also added a cardio section to the weights using my lightest pair.

So theres progress being made :D

My flex pecs are getting a lot bigger, and its starting to show when I am not flexed, my tshirts drape now which is nice. My abs are also starting to show a little bit, theres still a reserve of fat on my stomach but when I am moving around and doing stuff the shadow of the pecs is starting to show through, my six pack should be perfectly symmetrical and quite large. Oh my.

Things are goin good towards the pride toplessness! Pictures in ten workout days! Woooo!

Day 19: Flextorals

I've gotten into an odd kind of habit I never thought I would ever have. I am now prone to wanton flexing of my pecs and then gazing at my reflection in various surfaces. So either at some point I fell in love with myself, or this is part of the whole body toning process. Probably more of a than b.

Bleh. My body is in kind of a transitional phase at the moment. I can feel things being built in my stomach region but nothing is emerging from the flat yet. Since I am trying to get used to being topless by being topless, I have noticed that my two uppermost abdominals are emerging first, and that the two little gullies either side of each hip bone have returned (they vanished last year when I was really sick). Yeah I have no idea.

I have to go draw comics now because I was outside all day and not doing what I was supposed to be doing. But it was so nice I couldn't stay indoors! Though the heat has meant that I am drinking a lot more, I am suprised I haven't started to bloat from water retention yet.

Hrrm this was supposed to be entertaining. I'll work on that.

Day 18: (Part two) Baked Potato

With my newfound gymspiration I found that working out became more of a focused thing than a "hey I want to do this today because its fun and I like it". However I forgot to factor in the heat. Bleh! Apparently summer is going to be much hotter than our current heatwave, so I am going to start working out in the morning. Around about 9 - 10 am the house is still quite cool, and theres plenty of time to get hydrated and take a cool bath or shower.

Man.

I was so overheated I wasn't even able to complete a full workout session, I started getting cramps in my obliques so I had to stop early on my core workout and move onto the weights and final cardio. The cramps have gone now, but I seriously thought that I was going to pop like a sausage.

Speaking of I think its grilled food and salad tomorrow. Lush.

Day 18: (Part one) Gymspiration!

Okay so I am double posting today. I lost motivation due to fear over the results of an STI test, though now that I have had the test done, I am much calmer and able to actually function again. My day for taking the one month pictures has now moved but that might work out a bit better because now I have found some new inspiration for working out.

Today I was at Bradford Pride, and its a shame that I didn't take any pictures of him, but there was a dancer on stage. He had the body type which I want, and not only was he not super camp but kind of masculine, he was also a hypnotic dancer, and I spent at least three songs just staring at him with admiration.

One day I will do that.

My next goal is to be able to go topless in public for at least a little bit during Leeds Pride, so before then I am going to make sure that I build my pecs to a decent size and get some definition on my abs as well as a little colour into my skin. If the current heatwave continues that will be awesome and entirely possible.

I have until August. Two months to achieve the results I want? Bring it!

Another post later with todays post-workout show. Oh my.

Day 17: Juuust not feeling it.

I was just not in the mood today. I tried, but things weren't loosening or warming up and the mdolphins just weren't swimming. Its probably related to anxieties about friday. Anyway heres the before pic I was too self conscious to show you before:

Aaaand I think I know why my ex and I didn't have sex at all really in the final months. Or ever. Great.
I wish I could fast forward through the gum clinic testing and just get to the results and have them be good ARGH! I hate this bit. I always stress out and ruin everything. I'll try with some stretches later. Bleh. ... I need a hug.
