			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I stopped visiting bodybuilding.com. No updates. No progress pics. No posting. Usually that signals the beginning of the end, but no, not here, not now. I&#8217;m going to go a little livejournal with this entry, because I finally feel like the grind of the last year and a half is paying off.</p>
<p>Back in 2003 I decided to go to school for graphic and web design. Long story short, I spent 1.5 years learning that while I could do more than the average person, I couldn&#8217;t do enough to compete with the top dogs of that field. I stopped going in December of 2005, and I spent a good deal of time sitting at home with no job, no nothing. Rapidly gaining weight and simultaneously losing hope.</p>
<p>16 months ago things began to turn. A friend&#8217;s father opened a restaurant and he hired me based only on things that I had done for his son in the past. At the same time though, I was eating anything I wanted for free, so I was always eating. 5 months later I had a health problem that needed to be taken care of and no insurance, so I moved to a new job. I wasn&#8217;t making quite the same money since I went from 60 hours a week to 40, but I was making more per hour. Three months later I had health insurance. 3 more months later and I was promoted and given a raise. 4 more months and another raise. 4 months from now and I should have a promotion.</p>
<p>That change in jobs started something though. That&#8217;s when I changed my diet and began losing weight. A month later I joined the gym, and the weight started rapidly disappearing.</p>
<p>Let me pause for a moment and say this: As completely homosexual as this may sound to some people (and F you, if you&#8217;re one of those people), I&#8217;m 25 years old and I&#8217;m at a point in my life where I&#8217;m searching for a wife and a future. I don&#8217;t expect to come across a woman and immediately have her commit to anything like that, and I know I have a lot of time to wait before marriage becomes an issue with girls I may be dating, but that&#8217;s what I ultimately want and I feel like time is running out - no one wants to be 60 on their child&#8217;s 18th birthday.</p>
<p>Continuing on, I&#8217;ve had a lot of issues, mostly correctable that have hindered my interactions with women. I&#8217;ve got some nasty ingrown toenails. On the left big toe you can&#8217;t tell, but the right side is ugly and infected. It probably doesn&#8217;t look as bad as it seems, but I&#8217;ve always worried about some girl freaking out and thinking I have a diseased toe or something. But I didn&#8217;t have insurance so I dealt with it. My teeth are discolored and crooked. That&#8217;s bothered me too - I know how noticeable bad teeth are cause I notice it pretty easily in other people. Again, I dealt with that. I didn&#8217;t have a car. And of course, I was fat.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m a manager. I&#8217;m skinny-ish, I have a sexy car, my toenails are being officially fixed today, my teeth are in the process of being perfected, I have money when I need it, and to top it all off, I&#8217;m about to move to another higher-paying job.</p>
<p>Oh, and I&#8217;ve been having to beat women off with a stick the past couple of months, but recently I think I&#8217;ve come along a cutie with potential.</p>
<p>Life is finally getting good.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;my cut has come to an end. I&#8217;ve been just waiting for the time to bulk, and I was trying to get to 180 pounds before I did that. I was told twice this week that I look skinny though, which is the opposite of what I really want. Not to mention I want to EAT! Still clean of course. I&#8217;ll probably bulk for about 5 months, and then I&#8217;m going to get on the V-diet around the beginning of April.</p>
<p> Wish me luck!</p>
