Stay focused (progress pics)

 I’ve been well.  I guess I’ve been living in the present a bit more larely and then just not writing in here.  I think the last time I wrote was last week when ben visited for coffee and I went out to watch the drag queen competition at Sporties.
Well, Ben decided to grab my crotch through my jeans as I opened the door to leave the house.  NOW he decided he wanted to hook up.
I just gave a faint laugh and said, "c’mon" and he left toward his car and I went the other way up the street to the bar.

Sporties in a gay bar really close to my house, but I rarely go there.  It’s just not my scene and its generally an older and bear crowd, so totally not my scene.  I only really like it when im with a small group of friends, but I guess any venue doesnt matter in the right company 🙂

My housemate was there, in drag, supporting a friend of his, whom I got introduced to.  I know who he is out of drag, and hes quite attractive, but is only a baby at 18.  Turns out I’d missed hers and another drag queen’s performance, but I did get a good laugh at the main show later on at 10pm.

Vish decided to come and pick me up, so he and his boyfriend wzlked in mid-show, and then we left to go check out his new place on the northside.  I hugged Pixie and Indi goodbye.

Their place isnt too bad.  I was surprised to see they live with two other housemates, which I didn’t know about, so I got introduced to them.  The girl housemate said that I’d juxt missed her really cute gay friend named Sam, by 15 minutes.  Damn! Haha.

Vishs friend Rick was also with them, so it was cool to see him again.

Other than that, I just worked a bit, but only did the 15 hours last week, and now Im on another three days off.  I have a pretty sweet life these days, just not much money because of it lol.  But I survive, and I generally budget, and I’m happy.  I keep occasionally looking at second job ads, and then deciding that if all I do is work, then ill just be wasting my life, and now that I’m on the life side of the work/life balance, it really is pretty sweet.  I generally don’t spend too much as I work every Friday and Saturday night until midnight, which is the most social money-spending times for most people.  It’s just causing havoc for my social life, as everyone else who is actually making a decent income with their time management is never free when I am, which is generally mid-week.  Last week was just a rare occasion that worked out well.

Speaking of working out, I’m loving the gym again.  I’ve combined my lower and upper body workouts into the one, which means I don’t have to gym as often, but I need to leave more time before work.  I generally like to go before work, but since I’m finding myself there around 5pm now, the gym is generally packed.  I much prefer it when im alone, as ive always been a reserved individual type person.  Either way, still loving it.  I was brave and shared a few pics on Instagram, which turned out to get around 30 likes, so that was nice.
My current goal is to gain visible abs.  It’s bloody hard!  But I’m determined.  My core workouts are killing me lol, but no signs really yet.  Quite liking my chest however, and I’m not sure if it’s just me or a combination of being happy, but it seems like a few guys I’ve known for a long time but have never spoken to me, are starting to.  Makes me laugh, really.  If it’s true that is.  I still have a long way to go to reach my fitness goals, and I need to stay focused and determined.

I took a few pics over the last few days.  I was brave enough to share the second one to facebook lol.  I figure it’s time for some progress photos for here.
 

I’ll get abs one day

This is the one I shared.  After I took it, even I was happy with it.  It got like 30 Instagram likes so I figured I’d share it, but I think my facebook friends are probably more prudish lol.

And here’s one I literally took five minutes ago lol

I think I look okay.  I don’t have the protruding ribs bones I used to have!  They were embarrassing back in the day.

I didn’t mean to turn this entry into a pornsite.

Whoops my bad.

You have come so far. Your pecs and chest are amazing. “Abs are made in the kitchen”. I am obviously making them wrong 😉

if I’ve learned anything in the 20+ years I’ve been going to the gym and working in the fitness/wellness biz it is that abs are built in the kitchen, not the gym.

NICE NICE NICE!!! If I was a gay guy I be all over that lol

I saw the last one on instagram and I actually gasped out loud!!!!! Fuck me you’re hot
