Big Worshiper

You like to hit the weights, and be noticed for your efforts. You like to notice the guys who work-out too.

The love of muscle Test @ OK Cupid

So the other day, being as we're back in the rut of routine query work here at work, I decided to go surfing form some online quizzes to add to my mySpace profile. One of the ones I came across was "The Love of Muscle Test" (right) and I think it's pretty accurate.

Since I've started working out I've noticed that I do definitely have an affinity for well built men and have started expressing it more. Just the other day I had a friend ask me what my "type" was and for the first time flat out said that I like big guys (not tall, but built). Not that I don't find other guys attractive, however a cute face is ... well ... just cute, not hot.

The other side of the test reflects the fact while I do want to lose weight (a.k.a. fat), I don't want to be skinny. I want to big and built myself. Most people say they want an "athletic" body, however, I'm pretty sure I want a little more muscle than the athletic look.

As for getting to the point where I get "noticed" for my efforts... I'm coming up on the 2 month mark of SGX, so I hopefully get some progress pics and status up over the weekend or come Monday. I've got 2 more months to go before I head back home, I'm really hopping that by sticking to the program and hitting the weights hard that I'll make some good progress before then. I would absolutely love for my college buds to go "HOLY SHIT... who the hell are you and what did you do with Ben??" (ok, so its unlikely I'll make THAT much progress, but one can strive ;-)

Feelin good...

So I don't know if it is the exercising or all the supplements I'm taking, but I've noticed that I'm starting to be a bit more outgoing and confident. I've definatly been more talkative than I usually am, and a bit more forthcoming and even a bit forward aswell.

Whatever it is, I like where this is going ;-)

SGX Update - Week #7

Alrighty... Way over due posting. I'm now in week #8 of SGX and doing much better than when I started. I've gotten much better at the meal planning (when I have time) and doing great at the workouts & cardio. I've still got some challenges, like drum corps and lack of sleep, but I'm working through them. So here is my progress:

Start: 210lbs
Current: 195lbs

Oh Ya... It so nice to see that I actually do have biceps! Now if I can just find my abs...

I've still got ways to go before I would say that I've got the meal planning and eating side of the program down, but I'm getting there. So far I'm very happy with the program. SC has been great and the forums have really helped me learn a thing or two. I'd say I'm well on my way to being the muscle bear I want to be.
