Mealltach, thank you. My abs do look decent from THAT angle ;) Please post your body shot here.

Indicameds, thank you. I keep going on about the beer as I am psyched that I can drink it and maintain my figure. Sometimes, I think about how I could look if I got serious about my diet. Then that thought goes away LOL! The screen hides the litterbox. I stole it from the coatcheck at my husband's work xmas party 2 years ago.

@lterEgo! DAYUM! Good work. Nice to see you here.

Binge Artist, lead by photo example. Show me those poses.

Dr. Funk. I work in pediatric ophthalmology. I am a physician's assistant. NOW FLEX THAT BACK!

Yeah I am waiting on Binge Artist for a demo on the art of posing without feeling weird.
Woe is me all I know is how to be curvy with my body :)
 
Ya, I walk up to women in bars, and say

"Hey baby...with a little bit of anabolic enhancement, you could be Mrs. Olympia...wanna meet me in the bathroom for a 2 min injection session?"

But, clearly you have a naturally sharp and tight frame. I'd say you've already surpassed the woman that won the BB'ing contest at my school.
 
I'm quite shy to post a body shot on BL, PI. ;) Maybe after a few more months of working out.
 
BAH! You are always good enough to post a photo now. I refuse to wait months! Get over the shyness! I have found posting pics to be motivating. Positive reinforcement is a powerful thing. Please..........

Ahhahahaha you're too awesome. Undeniable logic. Okay, so I read this earlier and decided to take a couple of photos. You get the benefit of seeing me do ashtanga AND seeing my doggie mope in the background because he isn't being petted. Now I'll be able to compare these pics to new ones in a few months to see progress, I hope I hope!

Don't remember the name of this pose because I'm relatively new to yoga!

Oh, and one more for fun: just a recent one of my mug. I know; I glow in the dark.

PI, you asked for photos and you got lots of 'em. =D My back was sore before, but after 1 hour and 15 minutes of yoga and a yummy salad, I feel much better.
 
I'm one of those weirdos who spends most of her time happy. :) I'm not gonna lie, life has been good to me lately. I've been making a conscious decision to be healthier both physically and mentally. It's always a work in progress for sure, and I've got a long way to go, but I'm very happy to be in the process, and that's what's important!

I'm a mixed bag (heritage-wise, I mean), but what you see the most is the Scottish in me, which is my dominant background (funny, since the ginger gene is recessive). I've got Mi'kmaq and Portuguese in me as well, but you definitely can't see that. Hehe.
 
I was going to guess Scottish or Irish. I like your hair, eyes and complexion, and how it all fits together (Please don't take that as creepy; I am just being honest). But that's great that you've found happier times, and things are getting better. I will say that despite all those hours in the gym being intense and challenging, making the mental change as well is the hardest part. I'm in the same boat as you, though. Maybe trailing a bit in the mental part, but the will is there.

It's been a while since I've posted in here, and I think I am going to wait until I've finished my winder bulk to post new ones. Everyone's looking great, though!
 
YOU are awesome! Thank you for honouring my request.
The pose is tree. Our dogs look similar :)
Your skin is flawless.
I like your shoulders.
I am part Mi'kmaq too! Got my off-reservation photo ID.
I, too, am a happy weirdo. Makes life easier especially when challenged!
 
Whaaahoo you were right about the positive reinforcement, PI! :)

RL, you're probably the least creepy guy on BL. Just fyi. Thanks for the compliment. Will be on the lookout for your new pics - I'm sure you look great! Re: the mental aspect, have you tried yoga and/or meditation? Really helpful for me - helps me practice the process of noticing thoughts that come up and letting go of them, rather than grappling with them.

I'm almost always in a good mood, but because I'm so high energy, I tend to get too worked up or stressed out about things at times. Yoga and meditation help ground me and help me to maintain control over my brain. I'm new to yoga, but I love the challenge of it!

PI, that's so cool about you being part Mi'kmaq, too! My dad has a card like you, but I don't because I'm only 1/32, which doesn't merit you a status card here in Canada. Too bad - 1/16 would have gotten me some tuition money back! ;)
Thanks for the positivity, from one happy weirdo to another.
 
My parents are from NB. I hopped on the First Nations People off res card bandwagon upon my father's advice in 1997. I was told that I might be able to qualify for tuition reimbursement. I had/have no idea what was going on nor the guidelines. I have been living in the US for 10 years. 1/16th? I mustn't be because no offfered to give me money back LOL!

I agree. RedLeader is one of least creepy.
 
^ Thanks!

You're not the first person to suggest yoga or meditation for me. I have tried both before, with mixed results. Yoga I think I look at too practically; it allowed me to become more flexible, which in turn improved my martial art abilities. So that was good, but I wasn't exactly "at peace" during it (moreso in pain, as I was actively trying to stretch myself out). Mediation, I think I just need to do more reading about it and/or find a good supervisor IRL. Because right now, I just cannot settle down for it. My OCD had a field day when I try to meditate :\

I am sober/clean completely now for the first time in years, though, so I think that it can only get better from here in terms of either learning to mediate or finding peaceful happiness. And what you said about "letting go" of thoughts, well that is something I'd try nearly anything to be able to better do. My life's complicated right now (changing jobs, changing apartments, battling the infant stage of sobriety, etc.), but once I settle more into a routine, I would like to incorporate more "soothing" activities into my days. And I cannot wait for those days =D
