Fun in the way-to-hot sun!

[forever_wandering]

Since I'm trying to lose weight, I make a habit of eating home-cooked meals as opposed to eating out. During my mini-vacation with Mugen though, we ate out quite a bit and I can feel that I've put on weight, even though it doesn't show. 

And it doesn't help that Mugen gave me an awesome box of chocolates made with all sorts of unusual ingredients.

Ginger, Wasabi, Black Sesame. 
Hickory Uncured Bacon, Alderwood Smoked Salt. 
Mexican Ancho  & Chipotle Chillies and Ceylon Cinnamon. 
Oaxacan Guajillo y Pasilla Chillies. 

So far, I've only tried one of the Ginger, Wasabi and Black Sesame chocolates. I thought it would taste disgusting, but it actually wasn't bad at all! 

Anyway, we decided to go hang out at a water park since the weather was nice and the tickets were cheap. Even though I wore SPF +50 sunblock, I still got sunburnt! Since we arrived early, we had time to get on all the rides. My favorite one was a slide where as you near the end, the tubes become transparent and you can see real dolphins swimming around you as you go down. After we got on everything, we relaxed near the pool. 

Aaaah, so much fun!!

Is that guy in the glasses your boyfriend?

He has a nice body. I'm currently lifting weights, and I'll be lucky if after years of lifting I'll look as good as that.

He's my...something or other lol.

He lifts weights religiously. Almost every day for a good hour.

Is he doing different muscle groups each day?

The Hodge Twins (two giant black twin bodybuilders on youtube)
say that they wait 6 days before hitting the same muscle group.

I recently started lifting dumbbells. I only work my biceps so I work out once a week or so. Sometimes I wait 8 or 9 days.

I'm a genetically weak person, so I'm not kidding when I say after a year I'll be lucky to have arms like your guy in the glasses.

I have noticed I'm making some gains though.

I have no idea what he does at the gym, but every time he did it where we were staying, he'd do the same exercises. That's 6 days straight.

Huh. Maybe he's training for muscle endurance.

I know when you're training for muscle hypertrophy like I am, less is more. It's 10% lifting weights and 90% eating and resting. If I did my routine everyday my biceps wouldn't have time to rebuild themselves and they'd actually become smaller from being continually broken down.

He tells me he wants to make his muscles bigger.
I usually don't ask questions because his obsession with working out freaks me out. I just let him be.
