Flex Appeal

[shanmonster]

I've paired them up as relaxed and flexed.













Here are the most recent measurements:

Shoulder: 18
Chest: 34.5
Waist: 27.25
Hips: 37
left bicep: 10
right bicep: 10.25
left thigh: 22
right thigh: 22.25
left calf: 13.75
right calf: 13.75
Neck: 13.5

The weird thing is that although I'm getting stronger and stronger, I am also shrinking. This would make sense to me if it were fat loss, but in the instance of my calves, well, I don't think there ever was any fat there. My calves are fantastically strong, but almost puny. How weird is that?

The biggest change is my waist, which has shrunk by almost two inches. However, if I remember correctly, I was a bit bloated the last time I took pictures, which would account for at least part of the difference. I do think the jumping jacks have been going a long way to burning off what little fat I have, though.

I eat more, now, and not less.

I grew up with both butter and margarine, and think I mostly switched to margarine just because of convenience. Butter is too hard to spread, and goes smatchy if left out too long. But I'm just putting a little bit out at room temperature at a time. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

f00dave doesn't like butter, for whatever reason, and has eats different food than me, for the most part, so we have warring sections of the refrigerator and cupboards. It makes space a bit of an issue, for sure. The kitchen isn't that big.

May I direct your attention to The Butterbell. This thing is the shit. I love it. And it's small! So shouldn't take up much room, and you can just tuck it in a cupboard somewhere.

Awesome! That looks perfect! I just bid on one on eBay.
