BBing & everyday's life

[ohashi]

And I'm not a BBer, just trying to gain muscle/get stronger/look better.

If you're improving your body, you're a bodybuilder. Don't have to compete to live the life, man.

So true

yo start your BBer life in the kitchen then in the gym and eventually in bed

The two things I get hell for are not drinking and giving sleep a priority. I think people are used to my eating habits by now. A lot of the crap people give you is because they are jealous. You have people who haven't been to the gym in years, nor have said "no" to cake in twice as long. Oddly enough, people love to watch others fail. It's sick, but makes them feel better about their own short comings.

yes it's much better for me now.

My friends deal with it too. When i'm in school, i leave class because i need to drink a protein shake or a meal, and they're fine with it. Once a chick saw me eating cottage cheese with fruit and thought it was the nastiest thing. but that didn't mean she won't talk to me because of it. mostly everyone I know, know I work out.

it feels good in a way to know people notice your body changes that you make. some people also get some motivation and want to make some body changes as well. I think that's another thing about healthy people. once other people see you, they want to reach that level. You don't even need to say a word and they'll begin their own diets. I always try to help people. But I no longer tell anyone to hit the gym (cuz they won't listen and they like being told what to do then it gets annoying). but it feels great once you hear them say I am starting to workout and I'm on a diet.

I begin another quarter this coming week, and I've seen size changes in my body for the past 3 weeks. people at work have noticed these changes as well. I like it, because it shows me that I've been working hard to make my gains. although some people don't realize how hard it is to eat so much sometimes, which sux.

I have had it affect somewhat,a few friends tried to do what I was and train with me etc,but non lasted through the first week ,now Im so busy with school and my girl that I see my friends a few times a month anyways which is good that way I dont get loaded alot,but I admit during winter break I get to drinking quite a bit,the rest of the year I hardly touch the shit

Not one of my friends outside the gym trains, eats, live like I do...sure they give me shit and will tease me with "cmon...one big mac...", etc...but we're all used to it......if that's the only thing they got me on, I'm good to go.....funny thing is, when there IS a diet, training, etc question, guess who they come crying to??? "Jeff, I need to rip up for vacation..." LOL......

People are jealous
They don't like when other people succeed in doing something they are not able to manage

Most of the folks I work with have been dead silent about it. Maybe they are afraid of cutting down what I've been doing.

I KNOW that behind my back they DO make jokes about "mr-fuckin-healthy, muscle-head, etc." But that's O.K. cause behind their backs I just call them fat bastards....hehehe

It does get in the way that I eat constantly. Hard to get stuff done like that. Try having a meeting at work and "shake" a bottle of powder and water without disturbing everyone in the room. Or alternately excusing yourself every 1/2 hour to go piss. Catered lunch meeting suck too. Not much choice and meanwhile your trying to cram protien.
"O.K. who the hell ate all the meat off this platter?" <slink away>
As if I can get by on a couple of finger sandwiches and tiny bowl of soup.
"Gee, do you guys mind if I break out a 1/2 a chicken?"

I don't know if this is out off topic, but I feel bad for those people who workout 7 days a week and their bodies don't change much due to over training. what a shame.
