Oh, sure. I was thinking that you go wearing the baggy shirt and then, "Hey, let's go in the pool." (insert brother's shocked expression. Camera click) Then it's tank top for the rest of the day just to rub his face in it.

Gotcha.
mmmmmmmmmm
*calls wife over*
'Look at this sweetie, this guy has this damn fine idea. Yeah I know, "Trops" as a name is odd... Ok.'
The wife likes it Trops. I think we are going to try to give it a go with that idea.
Thanks man. :D
 
"Trops" is an odd name and Trops is an odd person.

(My kids get a kick out of me having an odd name.)

although his wife tells me he is fat because he just quit smoking and 'you always gain weight when you quit smoking'.
nope... I quit and have lost 40 lbs in the 5 months.....
<more snippage because I don't know how to do the multip quote thing>

hotter than hell here today- 90 and humid as hell. Cool storms last night though...

On June 23rd it will be one year since I smoked. I weigh 50 pounds less today than I did 9 months ago....40 pounds less than I weighed when i quit smoking. (yes, I did put on 11 pounds when I quit...but it was the impetus I needed to make me take back control of my body)

Regarding the weather, I think you sent it to me. Hotter than hades, thunderstorms, tornadoes in the region and hotter than hades.

I started exercising the day i quit. I was scared as hell to gain anymore weight by quitting. Everything that has happened this year has all been a part of my goal to be the in the best shape i ever was in '08. I have actually stuck to 2 New Years Resolutions for over 5 months....

"....accuweather calls for damaging winds today......"
"....I thought I needed to go there not here....."
"....I thought you were picking up coffee this morning......"
"....we need this by 9...." x 3

My two cents: Wear the baggy shirt. Have your wife make a comment about how your clothes are just starting to hang on you and that you should get some new ones. Agree with her. Ask brother if he wants the clothes that have gotten way too big for you. Then strip off the baggy shirt and flash those abs.

Don't forget the camera.

I take so many damn pictures of myself from so many angles that I always have a camera within arms reach now....
:D
 
You and me both with the camera...

I still think there should be a support group or something...

I used to e-mail them but for some reason I can't explain, the pic quality is actually better via bluetooth than e-mail. Of course, my phone is a POS, so . . .

That could be it- the POS thing. although blutooth may not compress anything- just send it over as is.
i actually shouold try that. it would be easier- the phone, while great- is slow for anything over 500k.
 
ok.

Some weird shit is happening here that I do not understand. It seems like a light switch has been flipped this last 10 days or so and my body is all of a sudden responding to everything I have been doing to it over the last month that I have not dropped a pound.
First of all, strength. I dead lifted 255x8 today- previous best was 225x6. Bench is now 205x4 with n spotter- most likely could do 6 if i had one- it was 195x5 a week ago. All my disciplines across the board have increased at this rate. It is like my body woke up and went ah ha!
Second of all- appearance.
I look like a normal person to me now. This has just happened. I have the illusion of abs. I have definition in my chest & arms. I have sharp edges as opposed to rounded ones. I look good, shirt on or off. You can see ribs clearly. I have definition.

third- appetite.
I am not as hungry as i have been previously. I am still getting regular meals and am in no way starving myself but i am not snacking. I am sitting here at 930 after eating a few good meals and am not hungry..

I do not know what the hell happened. I was just minding my own business and all of a sudden all these changes came at once. I feel rejuvenated. I finally feel that all I have been doing makes sense.

Does anyone have a logical explanation to what s going on here?? Seriously- why would all this be happening so suddenly.
I am not arguing with it, but I do not get it. And I do not think this was gradual and I am just noticing it now.

I need to bookmark this post for when I get down again.

Brian - I don't have an explanation for it other thab your body finally just decided to wake the hell up. This is why you did all that work when you weren't seeing results, for this exact moment.

I'm so happy you had this experience, words can't even describe it. You look wonderful, you can totally see a difference sweetie, you could for awhile but I'm so happy you finally saw it.

Happy breakthrough moment brian. :)
 
Thank you Ali.
I dont know- maybe this is my moment of clarity or the 'holy shit' moment i asked about pages ago.
All these things just seemed to come together today- all the pieces were in place- and I was so taken aback....

Thank you again Ali- your support here is one of the reasons I have made it here. :)
