YouTube and Weight Room update

So it has been about a month and a half since I have started hitting the gym on a regular basis.  I have been too scared to jump on the scale and see how my body composition has changed, mostly because I have not been really on target with my diet, but I am noticing some great gains on my physique.  One of the biggest joys of going to the gym as much as I have been is that I have been able to go on a schedule and have not missed a day in 7 weeks.  That's Right!!!! 7 weeks without missing a workout and the soreness doesn't hit me as hard as it did for the first couple of weeks. 

Things I've noticed:

1. I can run for more than two minutes without feeling like passing out.
2. I have been able to raise the weight resistance on almost all of my compound movements.
3. My bicep actually exists and the fat around my upper arm is slowly starting to get displaced so you can see the definition when I flex.
4. When I flex my leg I see a little valley in my quadriceps that have grown a bit
5.  Whenever I am stressed out instead of looking to veg infront of the computer or TV I am looking for a chance to kick my own butt at the gym.


What others have noticed:

Unfortunately nothing.  I did have a coworker mention that I was starting to look a lot better than I did (I must have looked like crap)  but other then that I have not heard anything.


Youtube:

I have been following my schedule and was able to gain one subscriber to my Youtube channel which makes me a little happy that some of my work is paying off.  I have been recording videos when I have the chance to play without interuption so the videos aren't super up to date as most of them are recorded in few settings then published on a regular basis. 

I have also noticed that World of Warcraft just has so much information that a 20 minute episode every week will take me forever to hit max level, but I am having fun doing it and it is a great bit of story compilation that I can go back to and watch if I ever want to do a fanfic or something like that.


Gaming:

I have rediscovered the joys and pains of Starcraft 2.  From going on an 8 game win streak to going on a 6 game losing streak I have had fun experiencing the ups and downs of competitive play once again.  I will probably push myself to play a little harder and maybe jump up to the gold division as my silver mines have gotten a little silly for me to be in.
