THE BEARS OF SUMMER
Bikini season already?

by Buzzed Beef Greetins yall!
Thought I would turn on a little southern charm this week. I do miss summers back home; not the wretched heat, but the good times: swimmin' in a clay pit, cool air-conditioning, my dad's summer tomatoes. For most of the US, summer is here or on its way. Are you ready for shirtless days? I wish I was as prepared as I would like to be.
Summers used to be horrors for me. There was always the risk of having to take my shirt off. I have wrestled with this particular demon for years. Only in the last few years has the thought of being shirtless not petrified me with fear.
As I move into these summer months, my gym focus is going to be doing work that makes me more comfortable with my body. The results may not be close to my ultimate goals, but a step in the right direction. I am going to focus on my diet and eat to nourish my body and fuel it without hindering it. I am going to use both building and toning exercises to help me shape up more. I am going to set realistic goals within a reasonable time frame and work to them.
It's roughly 8 weeks until the 4th of July. That is my goal to reach my summer body....roughly half the summer to work my body and half to enjoy the fruits of my efforts (as I continue to work it, of course).
Hugs (and licks if you want 'em)
