Maybe the problem is you, and not them. Maybe it’s because you have not posted even one picture that remotely resembles a bodybuilding picture. Just every angle you can show your ass.  Maybe the problem is you. Think about it.  Look at who all is responding to you, and saying "don’t worry about it". It’s guy’s. Because most will do anything to see a woman’s ass. You are suppose to be a mother. Not much of a example you are setting  But call me negative all you want. It’s not me post 400 pictures of nothing but my ass

I do understand this is a site for body building and body building is what I am doing.  Some of you may think I am crazy for posting soooo…many pics here….well, I like to keep my progress in check no matter how little.  It is those baby steps which leads to eventual success.  Of the late I received some pretty negative remarks.  Snide comments I have got plenty but it is those negative ones which bothers me a bit.  I think they find my pictures offensive.  If they offend…then they shouldn’t look.  Simple as that!!!  I have seen pics of men virtually naked exposing their groins but do they get the nonsense we women get??? I doubt it.  Grow up!!!  If I wanted to be a porn star….I wouldn’t choose bodybuilding.com!!!!

This is a site I get feedback, encouragement, advice & support from the surprisingly supportive people here, men & women alike.  I am really happy there is such a place in today’s world.  People who are genuinely concerned about others.  Life isn’t fair, I know.  I may have a great a$$ as you men like to say but I bet many of you aren’t aware I am still not satisfied how my legs are turning out.  My thighs for example….have been huge & flabby from the time I was a baby….honestly I have pics to prove it !!!!  There are areas of my body I have seem amazing transformation like my chest.  I still have small bo bs but now I also have cleavage something which never existed before, thanks to chest presses.   My biceps are coming along nicely but my triceps are still waving "hello" when I lift my arms. 

Over all working out on my body has done marvels for my mental health, self esteem & confidence. 

So, please…people ….like I tell my children, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!  In my case, I am open to constructive criticism…it is a way to go for me. 

I am pretty happy with the way my back profile looks.    And believe me, I just discovered it looked that way on Dec 23rd.  I guess I never really get to look at my back even when I look into the mirror so imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when I viewed the pics I took.  I must be doing something right although I am still trying to figure out.  I had switched from cardio to weights.  So that could be it.  For me, cardio takes much longer time plus it gets really boring unlike weights which tests my strength and while at it I don’t really feel that tired.  It is the good sleep that I get that gives away my exhaustion.  I know I should be looking a great deal better than in those pics but really, I  have been working hard on the computer prior to Christmas (there I go trying to console myself…hah!!!).  Last couple of days I managed to work out but my strength & endurance has gone way down low.    My next two "obstacles" are my abs & my thighs….  I think I will get my "abs" before I get "rid" of my thighs…..

I just overheard my 6 y/o telling her 9 y/o sister , "hey, maybe mummy can do it….she is a fitness lady…"    Never realized how much kids observe.  Unlike her mum who finally discovered last night that the kittens were subjected to fur & whiskers trims!!!! I was wondering why Cosy the female kitten looked sorta ugly the past few days not realizing the tool of crime was left at the scene-the pair of scissors at the bathroom the kittens are confined in!! My 6 y/o had cut patches of Cosy’s fur on her back as well shortened quite a number of whiskers off both kittens!!!!  The kitten on the other hand have also arrived at yet another new plateau in their young lives…they now climb a lot and have reached the sofa now.  I am qutie certain if the house is not screened at the windows, they wuld have escaped into the garden right into the waiting mouths of our 3 dogs!!! 

Believe it or not, that is what I did today ..a quickie workout.  Been so many days without working out…that even a few minutes helps….20 x leg extensions, 20 x dumb flies, 50 x crunches……well, it is better than none!!!!    Puts me in a better mood, anyway. 

Some people have no sense of respect for themselves.  I find them here, too on BS.  It is so sickening that progress pictures are misinterpreted.  Just today I received two PMs with distasteful contents from people who obviously feels very inferior about themselves cos there they are, hiding behind pictureless & almost empty profiles.  I think BS ought to get these people to disclose more details about themselves before they are allowed to have profiles on BS.  Some can’t be bothered with the harassment they get from these idiots but in the long run BS is gonna look like it is a place for passing lewd comments & what nots.

I think many girls here have received such PMs , just that they are probably reluctant to say anything except to put these people on their ignore list.  Cos after all, I do expect to get pretty unpopular after this blog.  

I was just thinking to myself how commercialized Christmas has gotten.  Being a Christian, and  Roman Catholic for the matter…despite being wayward and all…..I am sad to note that Christmas isn’t Christmas.  Being in the food industry, I find myself all caught up with the advertisements and what nots….yeah…after all I am "the" graphics person..and I contribute greatly too to the commercializing of Christmas.  I wonder if there are other ways of celebrating Christmas without all the commercialism.  As for me personally, I haven’t had a proper Christmas since I got married into the business.  When I was younger, it was all about choir practices and caroling….church activities during the almost 2 month school break at the end of the year.  Nostalgic.  Those days of bringing cheer to homes around.  Yes, it was more the spirit.  But no, it is not happening nowadays. 

What does Christmas mean to you?

This has gotta be an embarrassing one..nevertheless I have to ask despite….. Does excessive crunches do anything to the bladder??  I seem to be having some kind of "problem" here…  I mean does the exertion on certain muscles affect the function of others??

Does anyone know???
