So…
Midweek IG posts? A couple…    A couple of shots of Alizée’s tiny little miss sweetness, Maggy…  <Snaps off a couple of cutesy little waves> Quote:
  It’s daunting, and, very hard to sustain at any age, long term, unless you are very very dedicated. I got utterly sick of eating literally nothing but Chicken or Turkey, chased by Sliced tomato, Cucumber and Broccoli. Oh, and drinking “protein shakes” that tasted like a combination of a cheap milkshake “gussied up” with a chalky antacid remedy…    Blaaghh… Now, I will admit, that after I left the “Forces”, with regard to overall “fitness”, I did “let things go”, a bit…  There was no need to go for a 10 time mile run at 4:30am every morning, nor spend 3, or more, hours in the gym everyday, just to maintain a very high fitness level, that was no longer necessary, nor required… I wasn’t a soldier, any more… There were no more “enemies of freedom and justice” to be “fended off”. No more “Dragons” to "slay". No more "Princesses" to "rescue", no more "Goddesses", that required “impressing”… I got “lazy”, “bored”, and put on a “bit” of weight, which did not "suit" me, and tried the very same thing with regard to fitness, at the same age, as you did... However, no matter how hard I tried, I was never ever going to be as fit, as I was before, age simply wasn’t going to allow it, and my poor body, well, it had been VERY well “used”, and this new exercise regime just felt like “unwarranted” and “pointless” punishment... It really “sucks”, getting older, so it does… <sigh> Now with regard to “body type”, I’m an “ectomorphic mesomorph, with very slight endomorphic tendencies”…   “Long”, “lean” and muscular, buuttt, if I don’t actively maintain these muscles, they tend to vanish pretty quickly, and instead, “treacherously” replace themselves with midline “fluffiness”, given half a chance…  Not a good “look” for me… <Sigh> Quote:
At that point, I was 6’ 3”, weighing 196lbs, which was almost a “perfect” according to contemporary BMI ratings/measurements... Sounds great, doesn’t it, but, when my girlfriend saw me, she cried, long and very hard, and not in a “good” way. These were NOT “tears of joy”… Very long story, short, i’d been sent off on a “gig”, waay up north, that went “awry”, and the “op” took 17 days, instead of it’s projected 9, due to horrendously bad weather. I had supplies for 12 days, averaging a required consumption of around 6500 to 7500 calories, per day… You can imagine how that went…  245lbs going out, 196lbs coming back… As one of my senior NCO’s put it, “Cheese and Rice” Red, you look like a bloody “Racing Ferret”, or “something”, now. I’ve seen more meat on a “Butchers Pencil””… Never could never quite figure out what a “Racing Ferret” was, but got the general “analogy”, and after the initial shock, my “Irish Godessness” grew to appreciate my new, “slinky”, look… Took me a year to get back my accustomed “fighting trim”… Never again…   Looking “ripped” was definitely not a good look, for me, at all, either… Y’all take care, be safe, and, please stay warm, ‘k… Last edited by RedRafe; 01-29-2020 at 11:30 PM..

Soooo…
IG posts? There might be a couple… So, Alizée and Greg and their team of students, were off "competing", at the weekend…  “There”…  And “back again”…  “Garde rapprochée” roughly translates as “Close Guard” Maggy and some of her “treasures”…  <“Snaps” off a barrage of cutesy little waves to “babe” and “bébé”>      Hmm, “little” lady is looking rather… “pensive”… And, what’s with the “bars”…  Oooo… It might have something to do with these…  And these…   These were “still” shots cut from an IG story post by "_teamalizeegregoire", so, "kudos" to them for this post. They have an utterly excellent IG page, especially if you are into the more “dance oriented” aspects of Alizée and Greg. Totally worth "checking out", for the very high quality content that they host… Well, my respect for Alizée, that is normally “beyond measure”, now extends into the realms of being “utterly boundless”… It takes “nerve”, beyond “nerve”, to get into a cage full of assorted “Big Cats”… Alizée got in there, and did her Lion/Tiger taming thing…  <Dang!> Alizée, your “goddessness”, I salute you… Unless I had been “ordered” to, I would not be doing it, and then, not without substantial “support” at my back, (as in lots of “heavy shooty stuff”), and I have done some utterly truly insane things, in the name/cause of “duty”, during my military career… Get into a cage full of “big-assed Kitties”, “just for shits and giggles”? Very “shortened” answer… NO… <Sigh> Once again, the “little” lady surpasses me, and deals out a large "portion" of “humble pie” in the “passing”… Love it, and “adore” her… Can I have some more please!? <Sigh> Anyhow… Y’all take care, be safe, “wrap up”, and please, stay warm. Looks like we have some “severe” weather incoming…
