Divided By Zero's Journal, 11 August 2009

I christened the shorty-shorts with a 5 mile run this morning before work. Unfortunately the cell phone cam decided to switch to super-blurry-mode. I can't complain about the effect though... it softened everything and made it look like I have a lot more muscle definition than I normally do. LOL I was covered in sweat (the pic was right after my run), so the shorts are a little longer wet than they are dry.


I took the pic in the construction zone of the soon-to-be-awesome master bedroom. So... pardon our dust (or random boxes and paint cans) and all that.

I'm now convinced that shorty-shorts give runners super powers. I ran the five mile trail around my neighborhood a full 7 minutes faster than I did last week. Crazyness.

In other news, I'm thinking of lowering my goal weight again. I haven't been working as hard, and I haven't been watching what I eat since getting to this goal. I need something to motivate me again, even if I never actually lose more weight... I just need something to chase. I'll probably wait until after the half marathon to do that though.

If you're happy where you're at consider setting a goal for body fat percentage instead of a new goal weight. That way you can concentrate on building muscle while you cut fat.

Way to go with the grand short-shorts photo... possibly a better reason/ motivator to be on FS. :) Exciting to hear about your run this morning espeically when talking about your super powers brought on by the shorts. Keep up the great work!

The shorts aren't as "short" as I had imagined. That sounds perverted...like I was imagining you wearing short shorts or something. Ha. Dang! Great job on the time increase. I got two pairs of shorty shorts, too, but one of them still rides up because my stupid thighs rub together still, which is why I still prefer wearing stretchy pants when I run. Lame. : ( I think the "something to chase" and changing your goal weight is a good idea. I also like wintersmith's suggestion, but unfortunately FS doesn't let you put body fat percentage as a goal.

Compared to what I normally wear (knee length), I feel almost nekkid in these. LOL They probably started about an inch higher, but they were soaked so the fabric got weighed down and lengthened. I run in the morning's because it's cooler, but the humidity is also higher in the AM.

What kind of phone do you have? I'm guessing you set a timer on the camera? I wonder if mine does that.

SonyEricson random-numbers-and-letters-after-the-brand name. It has a 2 megapixel camera, so the quality is usually OK, and it has a timer. I don't know what it was doing today to cause the blur... I guess trying to focus on something through the window.

It cut my text. It should say "random numbers and letters after the brand name"

Mine doesn't have a timer. I have a BlackBerry Pearl. I think my actual digital camera has one though. I wish I would have taken before pictures. Oh well.

sorry i forgot to comment on this yesterday... i wanted to say i don't believe you don't have this much definition, the blurry cam never lies! I like the shorts!! Maybe you'll go even shorter next time, I know they are easier to work out in! I went out and got me some too last month... XSMALLS!! WHOOP(I just can't get used to the undies in mine! lol) You are looking great!!

LOL Maybe when I finally get brave enough to run a full marathon I'll wear the super-short-shorty-shorts.

WOW. I can't believe this has been up since yesterday and I am seeing it for the first time today. From me as a girl: ohhhhhh I love your arms! Look at those muscles! NICEEE!!! *drool*drool*drool* From me as your friend: The shorts aren't as short as I've seen some guys go, so they are not bad! I was prepared for the worst! As far as losing more weight-- what is our overall lifetime goal? I think you look great as is! What do you want to work on? Okay, I need to end this comment and scroll back up and stare at those muscles a bit more. Sorry :) You're not a piece of meat... you are an individual who is deserving of respect.. ok, g2g look again! :O)

A very individualized, respectable, piece of meat. I covered my only real problem area. It seems the very last place I'm going to lose is my lower stomach/'love handles'. The six-pack is nowhere in sight... bummer. At least it gives me another reason to keep running.

I'm right there w/ you on that... Why can't we shed that fat FIRST?! Grr... Stupid bodies, trying to "protect" itself and whatnot. Pshh...

Look at those legs! Wowzer!

Just don't start running in a speedo. I'd have to worry about you! LOL. Keep up the good work! :)
