Here is a question I want to send out to everyone.

Is it possible to be addicted to suffering?

A group of us think that our friend who is
obese may be more addicted to the affliction
of suffering than food?

If you take any endeaver like weight traing,
diet and supplementation.
Knowing the outcome,
All the possibilities
everything is a no brainer
you’re going to look and feel great!!

These great feeling flow into
other aspects of our life.
Law of Resonance!!
In Action
Everything you could possible want
becomes a reality!!

Then why in the Hell dont we go running,
No!! Sprinting!! to these goals when the
outcome would uplift not only our lives
but others as well

What possible reason could it be that keeps
us from reaching these life altering goals.

I’m not talking about externals
But your core values.

Not only does familiarity breeds contempt

But Addiction as well!!

repeat a pattern long enough and
it is entrenched into the pyche.
For better or Worse!!

What do you think!?

What do you get when you lose roughly
15 lbs. of fat and gain 5 lbs. of muscle.

Enough courage to talk to a girl that
could easily be a Maxim Model and
dare I say looks better than some of the
Women in Playboy…

She been going to my Gym as long as I can
remember and when I would see her I’d think
OK… Yea! there she is… no big deal right!
You almost get immune to it.
You just dont associate yourself with her!

Its usually WOW!!!..HOT!!!

O.K. back to work!

But Saturday I did something different and
approached her, had a quick conversation,
introduced myself and left, thats it!

Just that alone was pretty big for me!
Stepping out of the proverbial comfort zone.
That was enough to consider it a Big Win!!
Major!!

So the next day I see her and I’m assuming it back to
the same ole’.
You’re over there and I’m over hear kinda thing.
Which is no big deal for me!

I’m doing cardio and she’s working out getting
her usual orbiters hitting on her.
I need to watch next time an see how many times she gets hit on,
I think its at least 6X.
Depends on the crowd!!
If its packed, all she needs to do is stand in one spot
for 30 sec to get approached.

Anyway!!I’m breaking a sweat(I’ve be using a thermogenic drink during cardio and leaving the machine soaked. I need to start bringing a change of shirts!!:))

So anyway I’m working out on the stairmaster when I noticed
she’s walking towards me and gets on the machine and starts talking.

I was surprised and had a great conversation with her and was thinking to myself, this is not suppose to happen so soon.(A double threat!! She is as Smart as she Stunning!)

Is she acutually interested??!!

We kept talking until one of her orbiters came over and try to AMOG me.
It wasnt a problem and starting talking to both of them.
When cardio was finished, I excused myself and thought.
Did that just happened??

Whatever comes from it or nothing at all I’m walking away
feeling great!!

A big difference in feeling better an pushing myself is in part journaling here at T-Nation and knowing others are reading it makes me feel accoutable.

My goals are clear!!

I just need to define them here on line because of the
value its creating for me!!

By tomorrow I hope to hit the goal of 35" or less for my
stomach. Thats one of the key things for me right now.

That will make it 5" of my stomach in six weeks.

If I ever took a Women like her to bed I want that gut
out of here. Yes!!.. I know it shouldnt matter and I kind of feel it wouldnt for her, but it does to me.

But if the opportunity presents itself I wont hesitate to make you Guys Proud!:))))))

Damn, I need to proof read! I’ll get better at it!
Promise!

I enjoy the people that say they workout for the benefits for themselves, like health, more self esteem, a release etc but seriously, if it wasn’t for chicks then I’d probably weigh 300 pounds.

I think the people that workout “just to workout” are just lying

I think it’s the same as you describe below. The friend identifies himself as a “not-have” in the same way you realized you identified as a “not-have” before–at least when it came to hot girls.

There’s this poor and suffering old woman that gets into the mind and sees the whole world as if through a glass window dividing her (meaning you when your mind is in her grip)
from all the fun and good times and sunshine and luxury.

Hot girls?

NOT YOURS!

All she gets is dried and moldered bread rusks! Junk food!

You got that right!!
(to quote Lynard Skynard)
Women are so important!!
But are only a part(A Big Part!!)of the equation
for a Man to be Men!!

OK!OK!OK!..
Now wheres the f*ckin Weights!!

The choices are obvious in the mechanics, but the Muses how do you find the Muses?

After responding to Higgins Comments.

When these ladies Sing they Make the World come Alive.

Took the measurement and hit just above the 35"
mark.
I havent hit the weights hard in 3 days.
Feeling a lack of energy. I’m ok with it
because I’ve been restrictive on calories.
Usually I know what day I’ll have when I wake
up I know today will be better.

I think Gus is hitting the 32" mark on his stomach
Time to play catch up.
I measured my flex on the bicep and
hit 16"
I notice on the body flex how much more
definition there is.
I like to have that on a relaxed pose

Yea… I know what I have to do.
More of the same
Eat clean,
push the weights,
take the supplements
Body fat% in the single digits.

But to reflect on the past 6 weeks
They have been great.

151

The changes I decided to make are starting
to reveal my responsibilities to myself and
not rely on others to carry the ball for me
(so to speak).
I’m noticing more of an opinion outside
a group of friends.
I dont agree with their viewpoint on certain matters.

From that I am feeling like a Maverick.

I’ve leaned on them more than I should in defining
core values.
Which is not their responsibilty.
But mine.

It feels right and know It will change
the relationship.
Rather than saying “This is it for us”
and have the attitude of moving on.
I need to look at what value there is
and open the doors to allow new oportunities
in my life.

Change your Body,
Change your life,

The more I look at the picture the more it makes me laugh!!!

CARPE DIEM!!!

154

This morning I measured the spare and I broke past
the 35" mark.
There is easily 4" maybe 5" left to lose.

Blasting the biceps and holding the 16" flex.

Im getting that heat sensation again especially
around the waist.
I can almost hear the fat burning!

Starting to smell like Pork Rinds
I’ll need some hot sauce!

155

Just to keep tabs!

Work has kept me busy. I havent the time
to post as I like.

My goals are clear!

I notice in myself and others how
we discount simple things, choices
make monumental changes.

Just saying this to a group of
friends got me the look
“We are more complex, sophisticated than that,
it’ll take something just as intricate to
create the answer I need”

What if I can have the answers
drop in my lap.
Would I just dismiss it and want
to wait for the “Real Answer!!”

How thick can I get?..I dont want know.
lets not go there!

I have been reading more of the most recent articles
publish at “T” and getting an Idea of what I will be doing.
I will post the workouts when I decide
I am thinking in about a week

I have been switching up the workouts and I am getting
sore like I use to!:))

Everybody!!
Stick to your goals.
You know what you want.
Stop saying you dont.

Hey!

Good morning!

Can’t wait to read about your workouts…finally!

157

Keep Posting, Dawg!

We want to know… whats next?..what next?

Put up your short & long term goals

So we can hold your feet to the fire.

Yes!!..I will give the details you keep
asking for.

Posting makes the difference.

158

Br1an, what’s going on over there?

Give me the details I keep asking for!

159

I havent posted because work is getting
busy and been looking into selling the
business and buying a home!!

Plans are still up in the air.

Looking at what physique goals I have set myself in the
beginning of this year,
I have had 6 solid weeks of growth and have
maintained it ever since.
I’m still ahead from the beginning of the year yet not
as far as I would of liked to be.

I had an injury which forced me to stop lifting.

Its a working Progress!
I am happy with what is accomplished.

No! I didnt do everything that
I hoped to accomplish
but what is Different is that it hasent
dampen my spirits in going after what I want.
From the Beginning of this Year, the feeling is still the
same, Yes I still want the 6 pack and yes I want the 18"
Arms.

I want that great feeling of setting the Goals
and not only meeting them but Smashing The Sh*t Out Of Them.

Now I am ready for another
round of stripping off more fat and going after
the remaining 5 inches around the waist.

What I Can do is obviously post more of the workouts and
journal online to keep track and also get feed back
from everyone.

More to come!

160

A 3 month draught and still I think of the place called T-Nation.

Its the only place on the internet that I have found that gave me the support to make a change happen. I started with the diet in the beginning of the year and had results with posting to keep it honest.

I slipped into old habits and found myself repeating those old routine behaviors that keep me from changing the way I wanted.
So, what I want for the rest of the year is to meet the sculpted body results that I envisioned and keep learning!!!

Here we go!!

I’m back!!!
