My Ass

The saga of my physical transformation continues.

I used to have nice ass. I always had a tight firm ass, and really big muscular legs. When I was younger the body builder guys I hung around with (we bounced at bars - I was the token nerd - I weighed in at 220 - 230 and could handle myself in a fight) were jealous of my legs. They had to work hard and didn't have as nice of legs (now it seems that it was a medical condition...). I worked out too, by the way.

I drifted into a more sedentary computer centric exisitence, and gained some weight. My legs and ass still looked good.

Then I got acute fibromyalgia. I discovered along the way that the permanently tight condition of my musculature was not a natural thing... As I did various things (including physio-therapy and massage) to overcome the fibromyalgia and to relieve myself of the excrutiating muscle spasms I was experiencing my muscles eventually relaxed.

Then I also lost 40 lbs.

My ass disappeared.

I was horrified. I looked grotesque in my own eyes.

That's why my first exercise is concentrated on my legs and behind.

It's coming back. That's part of the reason I spent the first two and half months doing workouts at home before venturing out to a health club.

I'm way happier with the view from behind. It's still not where it was, but I'm hopeful.

(stay tuned for a picture of how my ass used to look [part of an old VW contri])

Health Club

I have expanded the scope of my exercise program to include going to a health club 3 times a week in addition to my home exercise program.

I feel good after a workout.

Last night when I was walking away from the weight area toward the locker rooms (wearing my spandex shirt and shorts ;-), two women actually did a double take, stopped and proceeded to watch me walk to the changing room.

Yep, it was that kind of watching.

That was kind of weird.

I've never been watched in a wanton way by someone I wasn't involved with before (that i was aware of).

It felt pretty good, if a little odd.

I look forward to the next time.

40 lbs

yep, 40 lbs lost

my body shape is different than it has ever been before

even from when i was younger and the same weight

kinda weird

i've been thinking about a VW contri, and expect to shoot one soon

i was waiting to lose more weight, but the loss rate has slowed down, and i owe a contri by now (to maintain my CBB participant status honourably). i was also hoping to be a little more toned, but what the hell!
