Lifting and Tightening and Bear Crawls….Oh MY!

With my heart condition somewhat under control and out of further excuses, it’s back to the gym I go. I’ve switched things up a bit this time around, my wife and I are working out together….and no, that’s not some veiled reference for marital Koitus. We are working out with our personal trainer Dustin, who has me doing, what, can only be described as a spastic calisthenics/comedy routine with heavy emphasis on me frequently collapsing in a heap of gasping profanities…My wife often finishes the sets for the both of us. Lifting weights is likened to a stroll in the park via a fully mobile lazy boy recliner compared to the frenzy of up-down, back and forth business. Don’t get me wrong, I like the results I’m seeing so far and Dustin is spot on as far as a trainer and around stand up guy…But I’m sore all over and tonight…It begins again. I now realize why ‘muscle heads’ are always pissed off and looking for a fight, it’s not that they’re assholes…They’re just in a tremendous amount of pain all the time! Anyway that’s the ‘skinny’ on what’s been going on lately…

Da na na na na na Fatman!!!

Why are, fat people or robust individuals, regarded as lepers in American society? We’ve been taught/conditioned to believe that slim equals healthy right? So why do we call a woman that has gained a few pounds a “healthy girl”? Men are always asked, “What is your favorite part of a woman, legs, Boobs or Ass?” Do you know that 67% of the men asked this question picked boobs? And almost all them answered that they would not mind if their lady had a little more to go around. Bigger girls’ usually have bigger breasts right? Wouldn’t that ring true if you were into legs or ass also? Ask any frat boy in America and he will tell you that a ‘fat girl’ is more accommodating in bed, because according to them they are trying to over compensate for their poor self image. So what is the alternative, secretly have amazing sex but publicly date a skinny cold fish? Some countries around the world savor a corpulent person; Africa, India, Polynesian, Hispanic and African American cultures, just to name a few. I for one think that actress Megan Fox is a knock out, but I wouldn’t mind sinning with Grey’s Anatomy actress Sara Ramirez either. Note: I am not a follower of Grey’s Anatomy…I’m not gay, that discussion is for a different blog. When can a person be too skinny? If a guy has a slight build he is a wimp, if a girl diets obsessively, she is a skeleton. I am really getting into working out and staying fit, but am I doing this because I feel lethargic, unenergetic, tired and my health is in distress? Or because when I take off my shirt I want to hear “Good God he’s hot!” Instead of “Good Lord he’s fat!”
