I have been eating and lifting, lifting and eating.You know what happens when you do that? You get big, real big. I have been fluctuating up and down a couple pounds, all depends on what I ate the days before. I haven't yet hit the 130 mark though and I think it's a bit odd, seems I should have by now.
The heaviest I have been in recent years is 132 and that was December of 2009, exactly a year ago. I want to get as much muscle as I can, and to do so I need to lift heavy and eat enough calories to gain weight, but every time I see that back fat start hanging over my bra top, or a jiggle around the waist, I get a little skitterish and seem to back off.
Its a simple process, I tell others all the time "Embrace the process", "You must go through this to be successful", yet I have a difficult time listening to my own advice.
Sunday morning and I am standing in front of the fridge so you can see how big I have gotten.
The glutes look great still! I think the fact that I run up and down 300 stairs, 4 days a week helps, but then that is a form of cardio and that makes me burn more calories. I only spend a total of 20 minutes though, so not too much.
These are Under Armour Mesh Series Boyshorts, and I am going to get them in the other colors too. Blue, Black and red/white splash. Not only do I like the way they sit low on my hips, they are super thin and feel like wearing nothing!
So I realize these aren't very great pictures, or in fact, very complimentary at all. I guess after spending two and a half hours at the gym I could have taken a shower and put on some make up first, maybe even done something with my hair, but do you really care? This is what I am looking like now, and what I will look like for a while as I try to get bigger and bigger for the next two and a half months.
Bottoms up!
Amazing! *LOVE* the "shorts".
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to learn how fat can be your friend and that it's a part of the bulking process. Wish I could say the same about my fat. So of course by increasing your caloric intake, you make gains. I'm quite curious about it. I know a lot has to do with the foods you eat and how you increase those calories but how does it all work.
