The Chronicles of “B”

Ugh!!  Monday morning already???  This Monday morning was particularly dreary too….foggy and wet!!  It’s been like that for the last 3 day’s and it’s starting to be depressing. 

I Need Sunshine Damn It!!

It is so much easier to pop out of bed and go run your ass off when the sun is shining and the little birdies are singing!  It might seem a little gross to others but I love the feel of sweat dripping off me when I run.  Back in the day when I had long hair I thought it was soooo cool when my hair would get soaked from sweat and I could shake my head and see the sweat fly out of my hair. 

I Know!!  Nasty! Right?? 

GOALS UPDATES!!

If you’re one of the 3 or 4 people who read this and you’ve actually read my goals you’ll know that one of them is to be Transformation of the Week.  Well I sent in my submission a couple of weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet.  If I don’t hear something soon I’m gonna assume that I haven’t made enough of a transformation yet in which case I will regroup….work a little harder…and submit at a later time when I really have something to show off. 

I also had a goal to do 10 pull ups by Labor Day and I’m sorry to report that I have failed to meet that goal.  I can do 8 with a lot of moaning and groaning and farting and kicking but I just can’t seem to pull those last two!!  I can make it half way on the ninth one but can’t complete it.  Part of the problem is my grip….by the 7th and 8th I find it almost impossible to keep my hands on the bar so I’ve been working at trying to improve my grip.  I’ve set a new goal of 10 for November 1st!! 

I have to admit that I am having doubts about competing in a contest in April of 2008!  I mean lets be realistic for a minute.  These guys that compete in contest are freaking ripped and most of them have been working at it for years.  Even though I’ve been in great shape for most of my life I was still a 248 pound couch potato at the beginning of this year.  I think I’ve made great progress and feel the best is yet to come but is it realistic to think I can actually compete in April.  I don’t want to be the one guy on stage that everyone is pointing and laughing at. 

I have heard a lot of people on here say that it was good enough for them that they just had the courage to walk onto stage and that’s great….it does take a lot of courage and I applaude them for their efforts.  For me though that’s not good enough.  I don’t compete at anything unless I expect to make a good showing.  I would be devastated to go onto stage and place last in a competition.  At this point I’m no where close to being able to do that well in a contest.  I’m gonna keep plugging though because I’m also not a quitter and we’ll see where I am in like Jan. or Feb. and make a decision then. 

Well I don’t really have nothing to bitch about this morning so I guess that’s all for today.  Hope everyone has a great Monday!!

Hasta Luego!!

Wow I can’t believe it’s been 5 days since I posted a blog.  I’ve had plenty to write about but just haven’t had time.  As a result my mind is flooded with random thoughts and rants. So, since it’s a boring Sunday afternoon and I have nothing better to do than sit around and daydream about stupid shit I’ll go ahead and share some of it with you.  It meaning my thoughts….not actual shit. 

"Lets see……what do I want to write about first???

I know!!!  How bout this???  I am slowly coming to the realization that sex and bodybuilding are intertwined!!  Actually I sometimes think they are one in the same.  I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard someone equate a particularly good workout with having an orgasm or with having good sex……I’d be very rich!!! 

I know I’ve spoken out a few times about how some girls on here flaunt their bodies in a way that doesn’t really reflect bodybuilding or muscularity and I still stand by that and think it is wrong for this site but on the other hand you can’t help but get a little aroused when you see someone with a ripped physique putting it on display for all the world to see!!  And even though a lot of folks on here might not admit it we all want to be the object of someones desire.  We might say we work our asses off for a variety of legit reasons but the bottom line is….we want to look good and many of us want to look good to the opposite sex!!  I mean who doesn’t want to be told they’re sexy or desireable?? 

 No matter how much in love you are with your spouse, or partner or whatever the hell their calling it these day’s it makes us all feel good to think that someone else finds us attractive.  If it doesn’t make you feel good it’s probably because you’re so in love with yourself that no one else matters anyway. 

I’ve also noticed that since I’ve been pounding the weights I am horny like 24-7!!!  Am I like the only one???  I don’t know if it’s the testosterone or just the fact that I’m no longer a fat slob and feel more attractive but I want it all the time anymore and fortunately my wife is a happy recipient.  

That would be a great advertisement for starting a fitness program wouldn’t it???   

"Hi!!  My name is Bryan, I’m 50 years old and I have sex 3 times a day!!!"  LOL!!

I had a strange conversation with my wife Maggie the other night.  She asked me if there was one person out there that I would take a chance on losing her and cheat with and if there was who would it be??  Now there was no way I was gonna answer that question truthfully and live so of course I lied and said there was no way I would ever risk losing her no matter who the person was.  Well she wasn’t buying that so she kept after me till I finally admitted that if I had a chance to sleep with Jessica Alba there was no way I could turn her down.  She then shocked the hell out of me and said if I had a chance to sleep with Jessica Alba I’d better invite her along!!!  WTF!!! 

She must of seen the shocked look on my face and said, "Well how many people could say they had a 3 way with Jessica Alba??" 

"Not many I suppose!!" 

Have I mentioned that I love the hell out of my wife??  What a gal!! 

Ok, now for some things that are pissing me off!!  Number 1 has got to be this little fruit that actually reached number 1 on the front page with one of the gayest poses I have ever seen.  Why do we encourage shit like this???  I mean it was obvious to me that this little goofball was mocking us and our lifestyle and yet people keep clicking on his profile and leaving encouraging remarks commenting on how funny he was.  Yeh he was about as funny as a kick to the groin!!  Come to think of it a kick to the groin is pretty funny unless your the one being kicked….anyway you get my meaning.  He was making a total mockery of bodybuilding by talking about his all sour cream diet and everyone just ate it up.  I’m sorry but I think the guy is an idiot and I’d love to punch him in his skinny little face!! 

Wow!!!  There goes that testosterone again!!  LOL!!

Number 2 thing that pisses me off is the NFL!!!  I am a huge Miami Dolphin fan!!  I’ve followed them for as long as they have had a team but living in Shitholeville OH I don’t get a chance to see them on TV very often.  I used to be able to listen to them on the Internet by streaming audio from a station in Florida but not any longer.  As if the spoiled millionaires aren’t rich enough…..now the only way you can listen to the NFL on radio is to buy a pass for like $40.00!!!  What a pile of steaming dog do that is!!!  So I’ve decided I’m not gonna watch one stinking game the rest of the season!!  They can lick my sweaty ball sack!!!  That’s why I’m sitting here today on opening day writing this blog!!  Screw them!!  Ain’t nothing free anymore except a hard time!!  Those spoiled bastards don’t need anymore of my money. 

Well I think that’s about enough out of me for now.  Since I won’t be watching the Monday Night NFL Game I’ll save some random thoughts and rants for tomorrow night.  

Hasta Luego!! 

If you’re one of the 4 or 5 people who read my blog you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t blogged for a few days.  I’ve checked in a few times just to see what’s happening but I’ve kind of stepped away for a short period of time to get some much needed rest. 

I know, I know….I’m a hardcore Mutha and hardcore Mutha’s don’t take breaks!!!  They work through pain and dispair and push themselves to the limit.  YADA YADA YADA!!

  Well the truth is I’ve pushed myself to the breaking point and my body and mind needed a few days away from bodybuilding to repair themselves.  It’s okay to be a hardcore Mutha but you have to know you’re body and know what your limitations are. 

Over training is a very real problem that a lot of bodybuilders fail to recognize  and your physique can suffer for it.  Our bodies don’t grow while lifting weights….they grow while we rest and if we don’t get the proper amount of rest we just break ourselves down and we can’t repair ourselves.

I know this from experience.  I think over training when I used to run marathons caused me to go into like a 3 year funk that really caused my health to suffer.  I’m not gonna let that happen again. 

Again if you’re one of the few who read my blogs you’ll know that I have a very intense personality so just slowing down a little bit is hard for me.  If I were to sit here and talk or write about working out I would not be able to stay out of the gym so I just took 2 day’s and completely stayed away.  I started back in the gym last night with renewed energy and a much healthier attitude.  I had a fantastic workout and am chomping at the bit in anticipation of my next workout.  Soooo, moral of the story….if you’re feeling like shit you might want to step back and consider taking a short pause.  You might be glad you did!!
