Bulking - The thin line between Love & Hate
I have been bulking for the last 5 1/2 weeks and part of me really hates it. It is hard to not do as much cardio and even harder to eat more food. I`ve tried to eat as well as I can although I have slipped quite a few times, i.e. eating carbs late at night. Bulking is especially hard for me being an FFB (Former Fat Boy). My body seems to want me to get fat again, and not doing alot of cardio is putting a strain on my mindset. I was always in the thought of as long as I keep doing all this cardio work, I will not get fat, which is kind fo true but I also wasn’t gaining any muscle. So, I really wasn’t seeing any positive changes, muscle wise. Now that I have been bulking, I have gained a pretty decent amout of size. I have not measured yet but I feel fuller and more solid which is great. I just worry that I have gained a good deal of fat with it. I don`t think I have because looking in the mirror, I haven`t turned into some lard ass. It , though is still a worry. I will be happy, mentally, when the bulking stage is over in 2 more weeks and I can go back to cardio twice a day. I hope all this eating and cardio less workouts were all worth it.
