I don't mind being thin. Longer life statistics, I can fit through doors and do a lot of pull ups. Being thin helps make me a competitive cross-country runner and pretty good at track.
But, maybe for the same reasons girls want to be just a little skinnier, I have wanted to be just a little bigger... and no, certainty not that way, just ask my girlfriend (; (I'd make a joke here but I don't want Julie to get mad at me again!).
UNCC Charlotte is helping me reach my fitness goals. For me, "Freshman 15" is a good thing. Since I began eating here I've put on roughly 8 pounds... finally reaching 150 lbs for the first time in my life. Here, I hit the gym almost every day. While I don't spend as much time pumping iron as some of the meat-heads there, I try to make each trip worth it. I've worked my practice 2 mile pace down to 6:40 and soon I hope to have it down under 6:30... maybe even push 6:00. I use the free weights a lot, because the machines are almost always in use. UNCC should really look into expanding their gym. I'm happy to see so many people trying to lead a healthy lifestyle and that should be encouraged.

Sometimes I have to give myself some encouragement. I've almost always had a six-pack, and since highschool, decent pecks... something carried over from my swimming career. My arms are another story. I'm going to have to focus a lot on arms as well as my back to get to where I want to be physically. If all goes well I'll be at 160 lbs in a couple months, which is where I want to be.
To some, my weight goals may sound superficial or it may seem I don't appreciate what I have, but I do appreciate what I have and to me this is just another goal.
To some this may sound vain, and maybe it is... but self-improvement is a lot about vanity. Of course, this is a lot more than just about vanity, it's also about being mentally and physically healthy. See it how you want.
