Evolution Two – week Fourteen

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Hello Folks,

I have been thinking....which is nothing new for me or my overactive brain. When I think it can either be hugely inspiring or a total downer. Today it (my brain that is) was inspiring me to plan for my next experiment. As you can tell from my pics I have not necessarily made progress or degressed or is it digressed?...anyway...for someone who has always yo yo-ed with weight, that IS Progress for me.

I have had many emotional challenges recently and still managed to continue on, and the only thing I can think of that is keeping me on track is my desire to never go back and , more importantly, my desire to see more progress....my love of the experiment.

I am now finding comfort with where I am at physically, but, because I love to experiment, I am curious to see what I can do next with my goal. My goal is to see my abs for the first time by my 40th birthday and not starve myself to do it!
Since I was very little I have always been known for my belly. Check out this baby pic of me!

Buddha Belly Baby

Is that not an awesome belly? The primary question being is it a blessing or a curse? Some might say I was a youngster with a Buddha belly...since I am a spiritual enthusiast I might enjoy that kind of association.

But....when it comes to seeing my abs, I have no clue what they would look like! Unless you check out my Face in Hole pic....lots of exposed abs there! Too bad they aren’t really mine yet....yet being the operative word. Since I lean toward the side of optimism I will just assume for a moment that I already can see my six pack....but wait...i don’t drink....so do I really need a six pack?

Who coined that phrase anyway?....probably a beer commercial that went something like “you can enjoy a refreshing drink on the beach and still wear a tiny bathing suit.” (juxtaposed with a shot of two folks with six pack abs holding six packs of beer). A nice subliminal message -- “not only won’t you gain weight drinking our beer, but you will look like these folks with their six pack abs.” --NOT.

Alright, enough with that topic....I am a believer in clean living....eating...sleeping...so back to work I guess and my overactive imagination...for now...
