Itty-Bitty Update

As I write this I just completed an hour session of back and chest, and of course I added some shoulders and biceps at the end. I'm lounging on my couch with my laptop resting on my lap. My arms and elbows are perched up on my hips and perfectly positioned pillows. Needless to say I fatigued my upper body. Lucky for me I love that feeling.

I will have full body before and after picture posted soon. In the meantime I am sharing 3 images (selfies) 2 of which are proceeding today's workout. I noticed two things as of recently: significant downsize in my hips and a tighter waist. As of today I weigh 149lbs.


Hold your mouth right, then POP those baby triceps!

Note the tighter waist and curves in both shoulders.

It's nice to not have to suck in my gut anymore.

My biceps don't look much bigger, but they look more full and well rounded. My arms are toning up nicely. I'm feeling great overall.

I have been creating a long list of tips, both motivational and practical howto's, for those looking to transform their body. In the meantime, I will leave you with this: make a goal of living a healthy lifestyle and set a realistic time frame to see your body transform to your goal. You are more likely to make healthy choices in the absence of pressure. For example, I'm giving myself 2 years to lose weight and build a sizable amount of muscle. Two years is long time, but it is short considering the goal I'm going for, but it's a realistic time frame! I have noticed that when I mess up on my diet, I don't beat myself up about it because it was one mess up. When people set short term goals like "get a beach body by summer," there is no room for error, but when you make your goal "get a beach body and maintain it for my entire life" one's outlook changes to a healthier one.

The key is that you have to execute new habits in place of your old unhealthy ones. Start doing something new today, if even small.
