When I woke up this morning, I touched my belly without thinking. I felt my belly has gotten tighter than before.
So I went to the bathroom and looked my naked body in the mirror. I was surprised at the muscular lines in my belly got visible.
Since March 28th of this year, I have continued doing my muscular workout routine almost every day. Yes, I said “almost”. I confess it’s not perfectly everyday. Whenever I was away from my house, I couldn’t keep it up. During the trip, it was hard for me to do my muscular workout on the hotel room floor. Maybe from next trip, I should bring my yoga mat for that. Anyhow, I have done it almost every day for these past seven months.
One of my purposes of the muscular training is to lose weight. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any great improvement in my weight. It fluctuates; going up and down. My current weight is slightly lighter than the first day, by only 2lb (1kg). Other than that, I look the same in appearance. At least I feel so. Nobody hasn’t told me I look slimmer than before.
That being said, I do have some other improvements. I do feel much more energized than the first day. I feel my body got tighter and harder, and stronger than the first day. I like being myself more than the first day.
So, I guess these are the benefits from daily basis muscular training in terms of my feelings.

Like that, I started my day thinking about my muscle.
After breakfast, I checked my favorite blogger’s post as usual. There I experienced an interesting synchronicity.
She mentioned about muscle in her today’s post. She says many Japanese people have talked about muscular training and its benefits. The phrase “Muscle doesn’t betray me” has become their trend in Japan.
I like this phrase. It is to the point.
If I were to add some more explanations to this phrase, I would add like this.
“My muscle doesn’t betray me as long as I keep feeding good things to it. My muscle and I are in a mutual relationship; giving and taking in a good balance”.
Same thing can be applied to my writing practice. I have written my short article in my homepage since August 2016, so it has been continued for more than two years.

Once in a while we get disappointed for not being praised of our daily efforts, right? But as long as we keep doing our good routine, that kind of muscle does not betray us.
So, let us keep having a faith on what we are doing. All is well, really.
