Big Bad Muscle Shots (One Year Later)

Its so hard to think back to what I was doing a year ago today. I had probably just completed my very first workout on my Bowflex.

I had purchased the Bowflex as a gift to myself so that I might give myself another gift in a year. That gift was to be good health and (what I hoped) would be a smokin' hot bod.


So now I think it's time to pat myself on the back. I think I'm looking pretty good. I'm got some great definition in my back, arms and legs and I'm still working on the stomach to finally rid myself of that horrendous McBelly that I used to feed.

What amazes me more than the physical changes are the mental ones. I am better able to deal with stress and don't feel the panic that used to consume me on such a regular basis. I find inner peace by building outter strength.

Now if I could only get myself to like cardio as much as I like strength training. Yes, I do it, but not nearly enough. I just don't get the same satisfaction from it.

After my Bowflex/weight workouts I actually FEEL like I accomplished something. I can feel my muscles burning. I can feel the blood coarsing through my body and I know I'm going to reap rewards for my hard work. When I finish my cardio I feel sweaty and I smell.

The big question now (as it has been for the past 6 months) is where to next? What is the next step in my physical evolution? I'm quite happy overall with my arms and back. I'd like to see better results in my stomach and legs and chest.



So to all of those people who didn't think I'd be able to make it this far please feel free to eat your heart out.


And for those of you who are still rooting for me please keep coming back and I'll keep posting my pictures. I'm just getting started!!
