The Double edged sword
So this is my first attempt at a blog. This is totally out of character for me but hey, what the hell!
So I’m having mixed feelings about my efforts to get a 6 pack. Here is the problem - I’m at a point that I’m pretty happy with the way I look. I don’t have a 6 pack yet! Now the leaner and closer I get to this six pack, the better I look with my shirt off. Consequently, (or at least in my opinion), the worse I look with my shirt on. Now that’s not to say I think I look bad with a shirt on, but DAMN, — I’ve lost a half inch off my arms! Yes they are more cut now - but sheesh - a half inch is a big deal when talking about arms. I miss that snug feel that my t-shirts used to give me on my arms. Then there is the whole clothes problem. Hmmm - went to try on a few suits this morning, and I now realize - I have nothing to wear for a Xmas party tomorrow night. The pants are all way too big in the waist! Damn - suits are expensive - and now I have to get one in short order - thats the real problem(yes i’m a procrastinator). More and more I feel like I’m looking - skinny when I have clothes on. Not too happy with that. Finally, passing up on all that great food - ughhh (wait who am I kidding — Im nowhere near strict - or this 6 would have been cut ages ago 
What do you mean pasta isn’t cutting food?? Hehehe
So all this for a 6pack?? Well every once in a while - I pass by the mirror and lift the shirt, or in the mornings before showering - I have a look and think - DAMN that 6 is going to look good. And then to boot, it’s going to be fun beating Penny08!
So thats my double edged sword problem. Cant wait to cut this 6 - so then I can go onto a bulking phase — hopefully I can keep it clean though!

Hey I can relate on the clothes James. A couple mths ago I put on my favorite sports jacket for a wedding, and it looked like a tent on me! I looked like a kid trying on his Dad’s jacket. I had already noticed that I had lost size in my shoulders, which I was not thrilled about (I’m not a big hulking tank to begin with). BUT, I’d much rather be cut than huge.
I’m on a Gladiator warrior mission this month (my Dec blogs) to see more of my long lost abs by yr-end.
So, who should I root for, you or Penny08? Hmmm, gotta go with her. She’s a whole lot better looking than you…..

Men have it rough. Too skinny isn’t good and too bulky means you can’t see your 6 pack. You’ll be a skinny 6 packer. And then you can bulk up after the contest is over.
I’m sure Walmart has specials on pants that you can buy in a pinch ;P
