I Am That Girl Now

Oh, my aching head

You know, sleep is good. Sleep is an excellent thing. I really have to realize at some point that I am not 19 anymore and cannot effortlessly absorb staying up until 2 AM on Saturday without there being painful repercussions for days afterward. I just went to my Hub's office to steal some Excedrin. I dropped the bottle, spilling pills everywhere. When I finally got them back in the bottle and grabbed two pills for myself, I promptly dropped them. I was pretty worried that I was going to drop the water, too; when I'm tired, these days, I get pretty damn clumsy.

Water is another thing. Currently guzzling water. Even though I don't sweat nearly as much on weight-lifting days than on cardio days (by about a bucket's worth, I think), it still takes away crucial moisture. Combine that with the tired and the heat and oh, I'm so headachey.

On the up side, I noticed last night that I have quads. I mean, seriously, I never saw the damn things before, and lo, there they are; there's this little swoop on the side of my leg right above the knee. My evil calves seem to have trimmed down enough to show off my insane amount of muscle there, because I can make them change shape alarmingly by flexing my feet up and down. I can't see the back of me, so I can't tell what my hamstring-type muscles are up to, but I poked at them and they poked back, which seems encouraging. Arms are definitely less jiggly than they once were, and I can see more muscle peeking out from under the fat layer.

This bodes well. It seems to indicate that even while losing my mind to the "I can eat like everyone else does!" lie this past month, the exercise is still doing a good job. Muscle is good. Muscle is very good.

I have to admit, I have developed a rabid hatred for females of a certain body type-- the slender, streamlined ones that look like they've been made out of some kind of firm rubber. You don't see bones on these chicks, you don't see fat bulges, you don't see muscle, you just see an expanse of featureless, changeless skin. Nothing sags, nothing bounces, nothing moves, nothing pokes out. It's creepy. We have a few of these here in the office and while they're perfectly nice girls, I can't escape the feeling that they were poured into a mold and had skin spray-painted over the top, and that soon their alien overlords will send the command to kill all humans and these girls will smile perkily and smite us.

I understand fat. I understand skinny. I understand muscular. This body type, though, I do not get at all. I do not understand how it is possible, or how they are powered, and yet I see these girls everywhere. I fear what I do not understand, and I hate what I fear, so I have a powerful hate on for these gals. It's not nice of me, and it's not good, and I need to get over it. Gahhhhh.

I'm currently also full of hate toward various people at work. This probably has to do with the fact that they're bothering me while I'm tired and headachey and I don't want to deal with their petty shit. I should probably go home. Sadly, I have a big meeting in about half an hour. Possibly curling up under my desk and having a cry would help. Sigh.

  • Yep, girls with that body type suck. I find that many of them were dancers as children though, which does explain it some. I was a softball player so I am stocky and muscular by nature. I find that if I take two dance classes a week for a couple of months though, my muscles start to get that long, lean look. Not that you'd ever look like those girls, but it might be something to try if that's what you're after.

  • hate to burst the bubble, but that unfortunately won't work (being the muscular/fatty type myself). The shape and size of your muscles is predetermined, and no type of exercise will change the shape of your muscles. Just increase mass and if your lucky, decreases the fatty layer. That girls are just damned lucky, and i hate them too!
    I'm still looking for the type of exercise that will increase my height with 15 cm.

  • I call that body type "made by Mattel".

  • Believe me, I'm not doing calf exercises. I've nattered about my reasons for that in the past, and they're still true; closest thing I have to calf exercises are the ones where I stretch them.

    ::sigh:: Sometimes I feel like I ought to put a page up around here somewhere listing exactly what I'm doing, but that would take more work than I have give-a-shit. Alas.

  • Hi there Meg! I came across your blog and, not to sound freaky, but read your past posts because I identified with a lot of stuff you're talking about. My boyfriend sounds awfully similar to your hubby, I have food "issues," have tried to do BFL in the past (and am currently gearing up for a brand new challenge), and I also live in Chicago (albeit a suburb). In any case, I thought I'd say howdy and that your posts are much fun to read. Feel free to browse my blog if you like! :)

  • I was the proud owner of a 13+ hour tension headache from hell on Sunday. Four Excedrin spread out over five hours did little to relieve it... I finally ended up popping a Vicodin at hour 10.

    So, you have my sympathy, as I know horrible headaches. At least I wasn't stuck at work with mine as could just be on my couch in a miserable pile of headache mush.

    I hope you are feeling better!

    (hugs)

  • Uh, haven't been up that long. That headache comment was from me ;). Since I forgot that I wanted to mention how I also find those girls that have that body type creepy, I guess it's okay that I forgot my name. :P

    Zara's "made by Mattel" is a good one... however, I tend to look at them and wonder if their gene pool is the same as Gumby's.

  • One of the things I remember most about BFL is how good it felt to see the changes in my body. I loved getting leaner, and seeing it so clearly. I hope the headaches go away for you. I also hate the body type you are talking about. It is so discouraging because I know no matter what I weigh I will never achieve what they have. So unfair this life.

    FATLOSS DRUGS FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES & FITNESS MODELS


    CLENBUTEROL


    Clenbuterol is a very interesting drug which has recently become popular amongst body builders. Clenbuterol itself, is a third generation beta agonist. Clenbuterol's use as a bodybuilding drug item from a number of medical reviews which have cited its outstanding potential to promote muscle gains as well as fat loss. It has been used in parts of England for several years by a limited number of elite athletes.

    More recently, due to the steroid crackdown, there have been an increasing number of American bodybuilders that are experimenting with this drug. Clenbuterol is indeed the most intriguing ergogenic aid I have studied with the sole exception of anabolic steroids.

    Many athletes who use Clenbuterol claim that it promotes dramatic strength increases and a very noticeable reduction in body fat Some athletes claim that they enjoyed significant gains in muscle mass while using Clenbuterol. Clenbuterol's most valid application seems to be as a pre-contest, cutting drug.

    Numerous professional bodybuilders have used it for the last month of contest preparation. Athletes have used between 60-120 mcgs taken in divided doses daily.

    Research shows that using it for two days, then taking two days off prevents attenuation. Cycles range from 6-12 weeks in length. With the recent wide scale use of clenbuterol by athletes, we can now gather quite a bit of evidence on what the real world effects of clenbuterol are in weight trainers.

    To say that clenbuterol use is rampant in bodybuilding right now would be an understatement. Thousands and thousands of athletes are using this drug. I personally know a number of pro football players, foreign Olympic athletes, and professional bodybuilders who are using clenbuterol. In addition, I have received feedback from at least 200 other athletes who have experimented with this novel compound. Generally, the feedback from clenbuterol users is that the drug produces dramatic body composition alterations.

    Within weeks of beginning clenbuterol therapy, many athletes notice a significant strength increase and a dramatic reduction in body fat. The results that occur secondary to clenbuterol administration seem to occur equally in men and women as well as young and old.

    The average dosage of clenbuterol used by athletes is 3-4 20 mcg tablets taken in divided dosages throughout the day. At the extremes, some athletes have reported positive effects on as little as 1 tablet a day and others have used up to 10.

    Clenbuterol is taken in a 2 day on 2 day off pattern. Athletes using clenbuterol in this manner have reported much greater results than those who use the product continualy which seems to support the theory that attenuation can be at least partially avoided by staggering the dosage. Athletes have also made a habit of cycling clenbuterol in an effort to minimize side effects as well as prevent receptor downgrade.




    EPHEDRINE


    First, ephedrine has clear fatburning characteristics. On the one hand, this occurs since ephedrine produces heat in the body (thermogenesis). Simplified, ephedrine slightly increases the body temperature so that the body burns more calories than usual. On the other hand, ephedrine stimulates the thyroid gland to transform the LT-4 (L-thyroxine) into the stronger thyroid hormone, thus accelerating the metabolism. The fatburning effect, with the additional intake of both methylzanthine caffeine and aspirin, can almost be doubled. Scientific research has shown that the combination of 25 mg ephedrine, 200 mg caffeine, and 300 mg aspirin is ideal to produce a synergetic effect. Those who apply this combination three times daily, approximately 30 minutes prior to a meal, will significantly burn fat. Competing bodybuilders have appreciated this for quite some time.

    Second, ephedrine has anticatabolic characteristics. Thus it is especially useful for maintaining the muscle system while dieting. Finally, athletes often use ephedrine as a "training booster." Since it has a mild amphetamine-like effect on the central nervous sys-tem (CNS) it improves the concentration, vigilance, and the interplay of nerves and muscles. For this purpose, 25-50 mg ephedrine are taken approximately one hour before a workout. The athlete feels an immediate boost in energy which during work-out can manifest itself in a 5-10% increase in strength. Again, also in this case, the effect can be improved by taking caffeine and aspirin (s.a.). it is important to note that ephedrine, administered for this purpose, is not to be taken more than three times a week; otherwise, the body gets accustomed to it and the "boost effect" decreases, and much higher dosages are needed.
