5 Month And Counting

5 months ago yesterday was the anniversary of me assembling my bowflex and adding resistance training to my daily workout routine. It also marks (about) 8 months since I started eating well and doing daily cardio (either on my treadmill, on my bike or outside for an old fashioned jog).



I've recently gained about 5 pounds again over the past few weeks even though I'm eating the same and working out more. My current weight is 170 lbs (up from 165).

I can only assume it's muscle weight gain which is just fine with me. I've never looked better.

I've given up the creatine at least temporarily because I found it really did a number on my stomach. I was experiencing short but intense bouts of nausea and went to see my doctor. I hadn't put 2 and 2 together until I mentioned the creatine. The doctor suggested I lay off for a while and see if that helps which is has.

So here's what I've actually noticed as far as improvements go since January 15th:
  1. I look good naked in a full length mirror
  2. I notice women checking me out as I walk down the street
  3. Although it's come in handy I still feel stupid wearing a helmet while riding a bike
  4. I've more than doubled my starting lift weights on all exercises except for french presses which for some reason just kill me every time although they've become bearable instead of a private version of hell.
  5. Did I mention I look good naked in a full length mirror (no...I won't be posting pictures of that!!)
  6. I can run about 4 times farther than before without tiring and I can do it faster.
  7. This was all much much easier than I thought
  8. My confidence in my appearance is improved by a factor of about 1000

Let me be candid about the stuff that matters:

  1. Losing fat below my stomach in the pelvis area has made my penis bigger (and really...who doesn't want a bigger dick?).
  2. Better blood circulation also has benefits as well but I'll leave that to your imagination
  3. My sex drive is way up
  4. Spooning with my wife is easier because my gut doesn't get in the way


My wife says the most important thing to her has been that I'm choosing a healthy lifestyle which means I'll be healthier longer. Don't believe her though, the smile on my face tells a completely different story.
