Swim Success - Day 3

6:30 AM Lap Swim:

500 Warm Up
100 Free kick
100 Breast kick
200 Fly kick
100 Free arms
100 Breast arms
100 Free sprint

1200 = 48 laps. Boo yeah

My body doesn't look much different for Swim success Day 1.  So I added a towel and a cocky grin.  Yay gratuitousness.

Just like the lane that I swim in, I feel a little shallow.


Here's me trying to be sexy, click to enlarge.  Mildly embarrassed.  More amused at myself:  There goes being modest.

As you can see, I have underarm bush again.  BTW P90X makes me vomit.  Swimming is my work out.

My goal is to be able to do a 50 butterfly beautifully like in high school.  The swim team would complement how artistic I looked cutting the water with my smooth body rolls.  Amazing butterfly by the end of August.  I think I can manage that.   Oh, sorry Jimmy.  Your room has the best lighting.  Heh heh, I'm like the best roommate.

Swim Success - Day 1

As I declared, this month is jubilant July.   This involves me rediscovering what makes me happy in life which I feel like I've accomplished:  Hidden LA is one, work events is a second and swimming is another.

This morning I got out of bed at 6:40 and got my lazy ass to the neighborhood pool and did a complete work out:
  • 500 Warmup
  • 300 Kick (Free, Breast, Fly)
  • 100 Breast
  • 50 Free sprint
  • 200 buoy (Breast arms, free arms)
  • 100 warm down

And now I'm here with 30 minutes to get ready for work.
What I'm grateful for is a highly metabolizing body (which is quickly crashing), but the minute I jump into a pool, "muscle memory" kicks in and all of a sudden my tummy sucks in and my shoulders broaden as if someone pressed a button.

I should keep this up. So today is swim success day 1.

I also renewed my 24 hour fitness membership.  Because I've completed my 3 year contract, my membership is $50 a year moving forward.  HOLLA! (I really don't understand folks who pay 60+ a month for a gym.  I consider your decision wasteful and idiotic.. "Oh the machines are nice, the lockerroom is clean, the people are hot"  STFU it's A FUCKING GYM you plastic you moron!! arg). So I best follow Sam to the gym when he invites me.  I want bigger titties, so hello benches.

Sorry if I burned your eyes with that photo.  Just wanted to see progress... and be more of an exhibitionist. =X No underarm bush this time, but just aggressive white legs.

Swim Sex

I told myself that starting in July I will engage in routine daily swim at 6:30AM before work so that I start my day energized.  The aesthetic goals:
  • Flatten tummy so that I don't get that undertummy shirt fold *vomits*
  • Harden my pecs so that it feels good to cup them
  • Fit my pants
I absolutely refuse to buy American medium shirts.  I have succumbed to buying bigger pants, but shirts?!  NO!

The internal goals:
  • Feel more confident
  • Have more energy
  • Be ambitious

But it took until today for me to get into my neighborhood olympic pool because I couldn't find my goggles.  It's interesting how we make excuses for ourselves.

I found my goggles last night (found them where I left them) and I made it a point to wake up at 6:30 and swim for as long as I could and thanks to the help of the hot weather, I was pushed out of bed.  After the swim, I looked at myself in my skin tight trunks that ended 2 inches after my crotch on my thighs... "not too bad," I thought.  And as self absorbed as this may sound, I was craving sex because I felt confident even though my aesthetic goals are far from being reached.  Epiphany: sex is amazing when you feel confident about yourself, you can perform... you are not shy or hesitant.  You are an animal... RAWRRRR! an alpha dog.

This is what I need.  I was getting bored of my daily routine and I hope to maybe meet some neighborhood friends who frequent the morning.  Swimming is my sex.  Much like how dancing is Ern's sex.  Photography/Classical Music is Jimmy's sex and I believe Video Games is Sam's sex?  :]
