Had a great over-25th birthday.
Time for my yearly b-day fitness check. My kindly Gymbro (and actual competitive body builder,) Chas gave me some pointers on the basics of poses.

Fat free Plain Greek yogurt (Fage brand has great macros) Sugar free strawberry jello and sliced strawberries. Incredibly filling, low calorie, (actually) high protein) absolutely delicious.

Will lifting weights make you bulky?

If only it were that easy.
Lifting weights is essential for everyone. You're unlikely to end up looking like the hulk (or she-hulk) from diet and exercise alone. Weight lifting included.

A little #gymmotivation that applies outside of the #gym.
Keep going.

Follow along for art, #fitness, financial/mental health and a dose of silliness.

A little #whittlling and #woodcarving from a stick. I love my victorinox cybertool. I use the thing at least a few times a week for just about everything. I I like to think I can relate to its multifaceted character and slightly overwhelming avenues for potential.
