aaronjw Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 lol I know what you mean about the *sigh* And it's not only muscle, your frame changes too. I might lose muscle mass in my shoulders, but my frame will never go back narrower. My sister hasn't swam in over 10 years, but her shoulders are still just as wide. Though personally if I stop doing weights but just run instead I lose a little bit of mass. I'm resigned to the fact it'll stay that way, just gotta figure out what length of shorts to wear As in anything *but* mid-thigh length!! I've decided that i just dont care. As much as i'd like to compete again i think its not in the cards anymore due to my knee issues and frankly if im going into meds its prob not good on the body to weigh 295lbs while standing for 10, 12, 14+ hours a day lol Time to try and look a little more normal and i got 4 years to make it happen Good luck on your bio final today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weights first, then doc visit, then final I appreciate my body as it is now... shoulders are a pain to fit in clothes, but I worked for them lol! I was told this past weekend I look more feminine with the muscle loss, umph I miss my arms There's no such thing as normal you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's day 3 of the Down With Webster marathon. I thought it wouldn't be as bad as a single song on repeat, but I was wrong. At least with a single song, I only have to hear it for a day. I caught myself singing 'gtfo' in the shower this morning. Given that 3 days ago I had never heard the song before, I see this as an issue. Rethinking some very important decisions in life right now.♥ I really hope things work out this year.

Cerena Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 ♥ I really hope things work out this year. Thanks, tok. And everyone else <3 I just need to get back to my normal self. Can't believe how hard that's been lately. Very difficult to think of yourself at all when family members are so sick or have recently passed. All I have to do is get my head together to write up these applications. I don't know why that's so difficult? At least I have a couple of months. Phew.

mm88 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Random question: Is there any way to decrease/slenderize/lengthen muscular thighs/butt? I've got thighs bigger than some speed skaters and I hate wearing shorts because of the way they look, but I have no idea how to make them more slender when the problem is because of the muscle (holy run on sentence batman!). Any exercises/hints would be greatly appreciated! Yoga and stretching. Slimming and toning. All the stretching helps to lengthen muscle... I think. That's what I read in one of Leslie Kenton's books, she has a couple of yoga-y stretches she suggests for thigh slimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychoswim Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yay bio class is over! No school for 2 months Worst case scenario I finish with 95 in the class (exams are multiple choice and answers are posted online), unless the exam jury decides some questions were too ambiguous/multiple answers and add points (happened on 4 questions on the midterm). Also met my doc this morning to get my medical clearance for med school. She's so excited I got into med school lol! Said (with a wink) I should drop a word to my ortho when I see him next month as he's 1 of 8 ortho surgeons in a pretty strong ortho research group. Contacts can always come useful. On another note, we decided I don't need to see her anymore for my shoulders unless something new develops We're expecting a nice 3 solid days of rain now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 So all those "fitness" articles and books were lying? Toning is simply a reduction of bodyfat but toning sounds better but you cant "tone" your body. You can, however, lose bodyfat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
