I have this feeling that I'm getting ready to lose more weight. I mean, realistically speaking, I'm probably losing it fairly steadily, but I feel like it happens in waves. I remember about 5-6 months ago I was doing the whole standing-in-front-of-the-mirror-in-only-my-briefs thing, and I didn't feel smaller, but I felt that my flesh was looser -- more separated from my muscle and softer/thinner. Probably not explaining this well. I think what happens is that I lose fat/gain muscle, but it takes longer for my skin and such to tighten around myself. So anyway, last night I was actually having a good body night, bouncing around in my underwear and whatnot, and I felt that way again. And I can totally tell that my legs look really different -- leaner, slightly different shape. My arms are getting stronger and slightly more defined. I need to be more religious about lifting. Now I"m doing it about twice a week, but I want to do it every other day. And I'm going to try and run tonight as well. Luckily the weather has cooled off, so it will be more tolerable.
The downside to me getting leaner is that I feel my chest is more prominent. I probably have lost some weight on top, but if I keep losing my belly, I won't have a barrel-chested look. I'll end up looking top-heavy, which a lot of guys who work out exciessively have (mammoth pecs) and I don't much care for it! I hope I won't have to come up with a new binding option.....Maybe I can shoot for surgery this winter instead of next spring/summer.....damn my lack of money.
