I'm so hungry I could eat a LAG

Last night I went to bed hungry which hasn't happened for awhile ever since the bigger dinners came.  And still with the small dinners I rarely went to bed hungry.  The only thing I could think of is that I've had a little cold the last couple days, and I usually eat a lot when I have colds (and I always get colds around this time in chicago when the weather is getting colder).  It's a pathetic cold in my opinion.  I can go about my days just fine I just have a little fatigue and sinuses.  Little sniffles aren't going to stop me from doing anything.  I can get through the exercises just fine with a little fatigued throughout it, but then again the workouts are harder.  I'm just making sure that I get plenty of sleep, and although I still have some signs today I'm definitely better than yesterday so I think I'll be top form real quick like.  But the hunger caught me off guard since our diet is definitely large and in charge, it was a little strange to me.

My pics yesterday sucked.  I don't know why after all this time I can't take a consistent photo.  I know nothing of lighting, and when I look in the mirror and then look at the pictures I see two different things.  I guess it doesn't matter that much because I know I'm doing well and all that, but to be honest I would just like to take a good picture.  I've been thinking I need to go out and just take pictures and try to get better.  I know this isn't really part of the project but I've always wanted to have decent skills at that.  

I showed a friend of mine my progress and he said that I've got to get rid of my chest and ab hair.  I've got this scruffy chest hair that is kinda in the way of my pecks.  I'm not really sold on the idea since winter is coming through.  I still have to think about it because it kind of annoying to have the hair, so maybe I will.

Sleep sleep sleep, tea tea tea.

  1. Your title is hilarious. I think the photos look good, from what I can see through the blur. I mean, if muscle definition is making it through, that's some impressive definition. As for getting better at pictures--the only solution is to take lots and look at them critically as soon as possible. Good luck!

  2. Just trim the hair with scissors, don't shave it. As for photos, email or chat text me sometime I'll tell you how to take good ones.

  3. HAHAHAHAHA. we might've altered that old so-hungry-i-could-eat-a-horse saying, not that i'm advocating cannibalism. :P

    picture taking is annoying especially when what you see in the mirror is totally different than what comes out on camera. i didnt really like mine either but after the umpteenth time pushing the timer and scurrying back to the door, i'd always just say fuck it.

    kim's right. if your muscles are showing through fuzzy pics(and they definitely are!) then you're looking pretty phenomenal.

  4. HA! Great title.

    Echoing everyone else - you're looking lean and mean, Stu! Nice work. Would be nice to see a photo of you that's in focus, though - so work it OUT!

    Funny that Patrick's now saying trim, don't shave. Maybe poor Will is the cautionary tale? He shaved, and then mentioned the hair growing back in like shards of glass - very painful. OUCH.

  5. Don't shave! Or wax, or whatever hair removal option you're thinking of. It will come back and Sarah's right - will be very painful!

    I'm with Grace - fuck it. Your progress is totally evident - you don't need fancy camera angles or lighting to show that. JFD:)

  8. Yeah, I echo everyone else. Don't shave that chest hair, man. You'll look unnatural.
