My thread remember?

So, did you ever realize why you worked out. I really feel good after today's workout. I was almost alone in the free weight section of the gym. I had a smooth work out- no waiting for anything- not even the damn squat rack. I then went to the treadmill since the weather here is not cooperating to run outside and proceeded to run 5.35 miles in 50 minutes.
I feel real good right now, energized even.
Ah- the joys of dragging your ass to the gym sometimes.

I love that feeling - I'm proud of you!
 
Thank you Ali.
It was just one of those workouts- you know difficult but really satisfying...
If I can bottlevthat feeling I would be a millionaire.

I have had a few days like that lately...you are right, if you could bottle it, people would pay...

When I said I was proud, I was called sarcastic. No one appreciates my wit.

The 'wit' as it were will definately be on display.:D

Don't do it unless you want to Ali- the anonimity of the internets protects you. No one will feel diferently- do not be pressured...

There- my parenting lesson for the day.:)

See you are learning so quickly...

Oddly (or not) I am sort of looking forward to it...I have to get new underwear though...

I guess it is part of changing, right? I did take a few pictures tonight (back to the obsessive-compulsive picture taking again) to kinda see where I am and where I am going...they'll be in my picture thread eventually.

*sigh*
Took pictures constantly. I am going to have to keep my camera far away from me.
Nothing shocking or post worthy but just wanting to see if I look different at different times of the day.

- my wife has not been home all day, she had a grad class until 915 and I have been really bored. Hence all the picture taking..-

It is like you are inside my head or something...I swear I think it is a sickness. Maybe it is just that after so many years of hating myself, I am finally starting to like what I see. I guess I am just trying to share that with everyone else (regardless of whether or not they are interested...)

I am posting the ones I took, one is a project and the other is just to see some more of my change.

I will be putting people to sleep (or making them nauseous) all over the country...
 
So.

Went to the driving range this morning and then played 9 holes. I may have figured out a little more about what I am doing wrong off the tee. This would really improve my game and really make the game more fun than it is. I shot a 47 which doubled is a 94. That 94 would have tied my all time best round so no complaints- although I fell apart the last 2 holes again...
Sorry for the golf commentary- but I like golf and was pleased today.

So I am going to go run today at 2 or so. I am going to do 4 miles and try to do a little faster pace than I have been. Nothing outstanding, just faster. I will gp to the outdoor track by the Y I workout at. My goal is to get the 4 miles in 37 minutes but I do hope I can go faster. No weights today.

I do not know why I have been so hungry the last few weeks. I am not keeping track again but I know that is why I am not losing right now. Maybe the fact that I am doing more is counter productive and making me hungrier. I really do not know- I am reshaping myself and if I do not lose another pound I will learn to live with it- but I really would like to lose 10 more pounds....

Treat yourself to a lesson or two... just having someone else watch your form for a little bit and correct it -might give you the added edge

Shooting under 100 is pretty darned good though.. well done :D

Thanks Mal.

So I just got my BF% again- calipers in 3 areas.
In almost 2 months I have dropped a percent....
I do not know if this is good or not- obviously dropping is good but I do not know if a single percentage point is good.
I am at 16% BF. 36 lbs of fat. 189 LBM.

This puts me squarely in the 'average' part of the graph- not that I give any credence to the graph.
I am honestly not sure how I should feel about this..
 
Ok.

So i am back in from out of town...
I drove back 4 hours so I can be at our ultrasound in the morning- could be the first heartbeat- and need to drive 2 hours out tomorrow...at leastgas isn't $4 a gallon..
I find myself wondering why I am so hungry lately- but yet I still am maintaining my wieght. I am not really focused on losing right now with all that is going on in my life. I am also nursing a leg injury. I think I pushed to cardio too hard the last 2 weeks and resultedin my left leg hurting- basically all over above the knee but mostly my groin- so I am taking some time off from running. I will try the elliptical tomorrow and see how that is.
It does not hurt squatting or deadlifting but it does right after the split squats so i am not sure what is going on.
I am happy with my physique though. I really am. I think I am acheiving the body I have always wanted and I am doing it the right way. I have been working out consistantly for 5 months and I look good- still not 100% shrit off comfortable- but I look good in clothes now.
I am getting busier at work and will be out of town more so it could be more difficult than ever to keep reshaping myself.
I need to focus at the times I am able to. I need to get tghis damn leg better so I can run. I need to buy dumbells so I can do all my workouts at home. I need to eat less in general and eat better. I need to learn the difference between full and satisfied.
