Ryan’s BodyBlog

 Stop working at it and it shows!
I have been lazing around and not really getting anything accomplished at the gym. I went from full time effort to part time slacking. I haven’t gained but, I’ve stayed constant which I deserve because, I believe you get out of this what you put in as effort. I revised everything from my workout to my food intake in the hope that I can show some extra willpower and stick to it.
Tell me what you think of it – what should be added or taken away;

I like reading peoples blog but, some of them are really puke worthy…..really! Examples of the nonsense would be the comments about beauty being on the inside and that bit about it not mattering what you look like. Yes, beauty can be on the inside but, beauty is also relative. Most of you have made a comment whether internalizing or out loud saying to friends that sh@#$ she/he is ugly or fat etc. Most of us are superficial beings, especially on a social bodybuilding network! 

If you are here for advice or to lose weight or to get to that perfect body type it’s because you are not content with your current body type…..news flash people a lack of contentment is vanity. I want AB’s and I don’t think that it has anything to do with “what’s inside”. 

I love the drive and motivation on this site however, I see it for what it is the four categories of people; 

• The Posers & people with agendas –
  the people that want to be noticed for what they have accomplished and the people that want to be noticed and promote their personal training packages
• The Helpers –
  The people that like helping others and are willing to give hints, points, advice etc because they like knowing they helped someone improve
• The Strugglers –
  The people that keep on trying, make minimal progress, give up and then come back for another attempt and stay on an off for a couple years because they want to make the changes but, get frustrated with the slow progress
• The Determine –
  The people that are determine to change and will do every and anything to get viewable changes. Beg for details, info, workouts etc because they have to see the changes they want.

I know I may have missed a few categories of people or some people may be a mixture of one or more however, every single personality on this site helps the people that need it most whether, it’s by motivation of what we would like to achieve, information provided when we really need it, a point in the right direction and attitude, determination that is admirable etc it all helps someone. So…. what I am trying to say is that beauty is relative since everyone has a different idea of what is beautiful and thanks to the snobs, poser, helper and strugglers!

I tried my best to be non-competitive because apparently it offends people and they stop trying to help you out blah blah blah….. but, I realized f@#$ that shit! I come from a family of 5 men and we are all competitive. The only family that can make a family game of scrabble crazy and ending with someone in tears. I’m proud of this and will not change it for the world.
 

I bet 2 people back in September that I can quit smoking one for 3 months and one for 6 months $25 a piece. I won both. The second bet I made was that I would be 1 body fat percentage less than one of my friends at work and he backed out last minute but, I still see it as a win for me. The third bet was that I will have a six pack before my cousin and that is still in progress but, he swears on his life that he will win. I hope he is really ready to forfeit his last breath because I’m gonna win that one as well.
 

I have to train for a 5K and my friends time was 20 minutes, this one is going to be difficult but, I’m sure I can beat his time as well.
 

Some people say I’m cocky, some people say that I can never do it! It never stopped me from trying and it still would not stop me now. I like to win and I’m not gracious about it. Any person saying they don’t mind losing is full of it!! Because we wouldn’t compete if we didn’t want to win.
 

Line Of The Day: I choose to win!

5 people in the past week that I haven’t seen in a couple months asked me discreetly if I was ill. I was very tempted to say F@#$ you or F@#$ no! however, I quickly realized that I shouldn’t take it as a negative comment because, I have drastically dropped weight and started toning all from cleaning my diet and killing exercise so, “Slap me and call me SICKLY!!”.

 Thinking back I remember people teasing me saying that “fat people are usually friendly, what the F@#$ is your problem?”, I was angrier however, still a contender in the office for the biggest joker. I don’t consider myself funny just, very sarcastic. I wasn’t one of those bigger people that loved junk food or sweets, I loved food way too much and I ate way to late and I drank way too much and smoked like a chimney. Lived life to the fullest…literally.

I’m on top of the F#$%ing world! There are still a lot of people on this that I would choose to be my body doubles until my defined abs come in but, I have nothing to complain about lately. I went from begging and pleading for dates to being asked out! Crazy world, don’t ask what the body can do for you, but ask what you can do for your body. King Kong aint got nothing on me!
Warning to all I get really irritating when I’m happy! This is one of my extremely happy days. I’m full of energy ready to go into the gym and looking forward to my workout. The gym is very addictive after a while; it is just about sticking to it. I feel like one of those people with an amazing story about going from a smoking binge drinker to a health nut! But, I am sure a lot of people do that every day.
Line of the Day: I just don’t give a F@#$ about your problems today, I’m fit!

Maintaining clean and keeping your workout consistent to me is the equivalent of a monogamous routine relationship. It gets really boring, that’s why I’ve decided to added in some excitement. Instead of doing the 12 week Video Trainer I’m gonna do 13 weeks, I know what you’re thinking, I’m a sneaky devil.

Anyway….I’m almost at my target bodyfat percentage and I feel good like those raisins that dance and sing “I feel good”. I have so much energy and I know just what to do with it……wait for it………wait for it……….wait for it…… Watch my favourite movie and fall asleep on the couch! I’ve been dying to try that for a long time however, my body is a fat burning machine and I get this hyperactive thing where I cant sit for too long, I have to do something! I decided to sign up for a 5k or 10k. Some say mistake but, I say Run! Fatboy! Run! I hope that does not break any copyright laws.

Compliments make me uncomfortable! I thought I hated them because I was fat and people thought it would be cute to pinch the cheeks of an adult and say how cute he was. Little did they know I out grew those comment a few years back, I believe it was around the time I out grew medium adult size underwear in 6th grade. I guess it better to here you look good than it is to hear “look at those cheekie poos, they are so round and cute!”.

A smart person once told me inside every big person is a little person and inside them an even littler person, just waiting to come out! Sorry that person was Richard Simmons and he was not smart, he is kinna creepy like carrot top but, funny…….I’m straying off topic yet, I don’t know how to end this except with a period.

Line Of The Day: “I feel like Chicken Tonight”

A friend talked me out of starting over so I’m gonna finish it! I guess everyone messes up with the maintenance of a clean diet. I’m not the only dishonorable one, I just lie less than most of you!

Maintaining A Clean Diet
 

I clean almost everything I eat or inspect it for germs or spray it with Lysol. This weekend the only clean thing about my diet was the plate that it was eaten on and that, was even questionable. I had a few weak moments then, a few more. I don’t know why, I think I maybe a stress eater ever since I stopped smoking but, that’s just and excuse.
 

I didn’t want to do this but, I believe I should atone for my mistakes. I am going to be starting over the 12 week video trainer again. My new picture and measurements will be added to my profile and this time I’m not using the newspaper deal as proof of where I started because I have nothing to gain from lying.
 

I’m sick and tired of starting this thing over but, I said I will do it 98.99% clean and that’s what I am going to do. I am frustrated and bitter once again however, I believe in finishing stuff properly not, half assed!
 

May 1^st, 2009 again!

I hate pictures! but I promised I will add my before and after. I see this as being and endless endeavour. I’m not adding pictures prior to April 1st as this aint no competition for Shamu look alike.

Please feel free to tell me what I need to work on!

Line of the Day: I don’t like picture at all! at all!
