Guest Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Good morning and happy Sunday folks! Just under 90 days ago I carefully put myself away to eliminate as much clatter and distractions as possible. Here I am ( photos taken this morning ) just shy of 90 days after starting a diet prep and all new training routine.... Β during the pandemic and even after I took part in a lot of very high endurance activities ( swimming and cycling ) and I needed a break from it... it was great for my resting heart rate but my musculature was slightly compromised... after a long break of doing NOTHING ( actually eating poorly and enjoying far too many cocktails πΈ ) I decided it's time again... new attitude, different methods and with very little distraction. The photo of the cute chubby lil swimmer ( me 3 months ago lol π ) is a sculpture at a coastal Southern California hotel that I was unavoidably detained at last night ( "retained" rather π ) and the photos on the right are from this morning, two days away from target π― date π Β I guess the moral of the story is that it's perfectly fine to come up for air from time to time and more importantly that independent of age, we all can make changes to help improve the quality of our lives. My brother said it best...." Danny, nobody gets in shape faster than you but ALSO, no one goes to pot faster than you either" ππ and he's absolutely correct π€¦π»ββοΈπ Β I'm not posting my before photo here but I'm happy to share it with anyone privately... I'm not ashamed... I'm just human βΊοΈ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myophile Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Incredible, babe! By the way, Iβm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that although your bathroom selfies are hot AF, is there ANY chance of some proper photo documentation of the New and Improved Vin once youβve touched down? Honestly, it should be recorded for posterity! Edited October 15, 2023 by myophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Thank youuuu @myophileΒ ππ½π« I'm going to Europe for 3 weeks with a really wonderful "uncle" π and I just wanted to be at my very best for him and also I knew if I went to Europe SUPER lean, if I worked out as I will, I'll come back just lean π This go around was just a tune up for when I return... I'm gonna really turn it up π₯ starting mid November and be just slightly bigger than I am at the moment but with even better conditioning. By the powers of whatever and my iron will, I'm still climbing and improving even after all these years. The photos don't lie nor do those that have seen π me lately π Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Taken this morning... it's been nice carbing up today π₯° Tomorrow I'll post and document the dramatic results of a carb load and also the last photos that I'll share until my next go around which will end in March. I'll be prime time for the forum gathering weekend Β ππ½ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adunn1992 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Congrats, Danny, on your hard work. You always know how to push yourself and exceed your goals. I hope you enjoy every second of Europe. Edited October 17, 2023 by adunn1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ ThroatCummer Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 You look amazing man. well done. I think my favorite part about you is being an active participant on these forums. It makes you (and the few others who do the same) stand out from everybody else. If I ever happen to notice we are in the same city, Iβd love to hire you just for dinner and talking. So cool.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Β created an account here in 2015 and thought to myself after two months "this place isn't for me" until I found myself unexpectedly among many forum members in Palm Springs and it completely changed my attitude toward the forum. I've only met really kind and wonderful people and I have genuinely enjoyed participating here. It reminds me that if you're receptive to it, you'll see that, in spite of any negativity, the forum and its members are quite splendid π₯° I only logged in for the first time in years only under 3 months ago, I stayed away even when my ears were burning and even when little birds π¦ would whisper in my ear ππ½ π Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
