This is sort of a continuation of one of the threads of conversation that started on "Do you Love Me: or am I too freaking fat?" I thought that if I wanted to talk about it more, it would be better to have it on a different post. So, I'm 4 weeks into this workout program. So far I've lost 4 pounds and 2 inches off my waistline, gained a 1/2 inch on the chest and a 1/2 inch on the biceps. I haven't gained or lost anything on the thigh measurment. I would measure body fat percentage, except I think that probably the most accurate way is to have adoctor do it, and I don't want to sheel out the money to do so. I am only two inches away from one of my goals: to reach a wasitline of 32 1/2 inches (My hips are 32). I am slowly increasing my muscle mass as well. Why am i doing this? i think it's partially why any guy does it: to be more attractive. but also it's for my health and for my mental well being. I could take the easy route and slack off, but this is something worth working for. If there is nothing else I can do here in Wisconsin, I can get my ass into the best shape of my life. Who knows, If I keep on losing the inches on the waistline, maybe I'll see my abs clearly for the first time in my life. I don't know what it is about abs, but they have some sort of special magical appeal to everyone. They're really a sign of hard work, I think. At least for people who aren't genetically predisposed to have little body fat and can always see them. I guess I am rambling, so someone else can discourse on their workouts and why they do them, or probably just change the subject.

moving feels good moving the blood through your body makes everything better my skin feels better my hair grows faster (although i wish it would stop- i'm too lazy to get it cut and it's getting crazy long)

Yeah. Mine is getting a little out of control too. I keep sitting on it by accident. That's no good. Moving is nice. I always feel more alive--more something, anyway--after I really excercise. I should do it more often. It leaves me feeling better.
