I know..sorry for taking up so much space with shirtless photos of myself..but...this way I'm fully accountable with full transperency. So far..so, well...I think the camera is hiding some of the results...that's possible, right? I'm happiest with my back, shoulders, and triceps(I need a photos of those...) but I'm not seeing the 'pop' on my chest or abs yet. Seems like most people made the biggest gains day 30-60 or afterwards...I'm assuming the first 30 days was the basic training regimen, trying to clean up my diet, shave off the layers of fat, and get lean before beginning to gain some serious mass. I hope so. What you may not see in the photos, but what I certainly can feel, is the MUCH deeper and increased strength in my core. Once the spring/summer hit, and I lose this 9am-9pm teacher tan, I hope you'd be able to see some of those results. But, if anything..these photos leave me hungrier to work harder, really crack the whip on my diet (no cheating!), and get a better camera!! :)
Enjoy

Are the top photos the newer ones? If so...why has noting on your countes changed? I feel like I am reading that magazine you find at the doctor office for kids. "Find 30 thinks different in the two photos" Your water bottle had moved a little.....
Yep, the top ones were taken immediately after I finished the hour+ of working out. Not a major difference, and I don't know if it's because I'm so fricken pale, if I had too much sunlight coming in, or what...but you can see almost no definition in these photos. The reason the bottle is different is I was taking my own photos, so the camera is probably at a slightly different angle, what was that magazine called...Scholastic? You'd love it here, they have arcade games that are just that..find the five or six differences within an ever decreasing amount of time....
Ape, you never sent recipes for the Taco Soup, the Mint Cookies, or photos of Randy's pull-up bar. We also need to chat about your shoes, and the kid's X-mas gift...are we sure that money will be guarenteed with the economy tanking? How does that organization invest it??
oh...and I just reread your comments...I couldn't understand 'noting on your countes' the first time. You meant, 'nothing on your counter'...I get it now. I took the bottom photo before I worked out, then I worked out for about an hour, then I immediately took the top photo. I wanted to see if I could notice a 'ripped' effect after the workout...heh, not so much, eh?
Notice the picture of me standing straight, facing the camera, relaxed...notice my face on the top one, that is about 10 seconds after finishing the torture...:)
oh, I thought they were the 30 day later pic....ha ha. So I thought you went a whole month with it the same.....the space bar doesn't always work so I think I might backspace to much sometimes.
You would have to ask mom and dad about the money thing. I have no idea. The shoes were $100 so I can have dad take it out?
I'll post the recipes soon,I forgot. Pictures will have to wait until next week. We only have the basics in our house....we are getting ALL HARDWOOD FLOORS! this weekend. YEAH! So I have no computer with ports avail. :-)
I think you certainly look more defined/toned in the top photo here, but you are turned slightly more towards the camera. I'm very impressed with your will-power. We are all cheering you on.
April..sorry, I think you're still confused a little bit. These are 30 day photos. However, both photos are from my 30th day. One photo (the bottom) is from before I worked out on day 30. The other one (top photo) is from day 30 after I worked out.
You can compare with my older photos from an earlier post...sorry, I probably didn't write it clearly enough before.
Do post those recipes, I'm really excited to try and make those foods.
Yeah, have dad withdraw $100...Merry Christmas! (in March...)
I will talk with mom and dad about the Uni. idea...I know I bought them some things while I was home, but I will make good on my promise..I just don't want to toss money into a pit, ya know?
