Romantic1983’s BodyBlog

I was recently talking to someone and they commented how they noticed ‘maintaining femininity’ seemed to be important to me and I do mention it here (not that is bad, just that I do it). Ill admit- its true. Anyone who has talked to me or has read previous blogs understands that it is crucial to maintain femininity while bodybuilding. Often people will send me a good youtube video and i will look at it. I probably shouldnt because too many immature people post comments on there. Its actually kinda laughable. See any video where there is ’some’ muscle on the female and you will understand. They are often called a man. And they always want to attribute it to steriods. As if every female who bodybuilds uses steriods? Heck, I just saw a video on Lorena Cozza (I added one video of hers to my profile) and many guys posted comments thinking she was a man! OMG, youre kidding right? Shes definitely got some tone and muscle, but NOT EVEN CLOSE to looking like a man. You look at any muscle video of a female on youtube, and most comments are disgusting!

I have to say: the more muscle I have gained (leading to a decrease in body fat), the more I feel my body was supposed to be this way. I just am now starting to post glute pics because its taken this long (since April 07) for real progress to show. Its important to recognize the soul of a person, but humans were not meant to be overweight/obese. I LOOK better now. I think over time, with technology and the internet etc, we have become less active. Consequently, somehow as a society we have attributed muscle=masculine, and curvy and toned=feminine. Unfortuantly, thats not the way it should be.  I could gain 20 more pounds of muscle, and I would still feel 100% like a female. Thats just the way it is.

Now, thats not to say the majority of people dont find "thin" people attractive (though thin is different than being muscular). I have met FEW people in my life where a person has said "theyre just too thin" for me. Its rare. Most people just dont feel that way. It doesnt mean you wouldnt date someone who isnt thin, its just that I think its natural to find thin people attractive. Its sort of like glutes too. Ex) Go watch Lorenas video or Alessandra Tantari. Firm ripped glutes Look good. Its hard to deny.

Im starting now to increase my cardio. Trying to go back to the 3 miles (every day) before I head to the gym. I cant do that much consistently. There is one woman at my gym that does a lot. I admire her a lot and others that can do it. I just cant. 43 minutes is enough for me. Im trying to really pump it up so i can look good when i head to the beach.

Im not here very much. Just been busy trying to finish up grad stuff. Im trying,however, to get on here more so I can get to email more often and what not. Hope you all have a great day!
