Noodles and Beef

I am your host, Noodles and Beef, and welcome to my blog. It's my creative dumping ground and journal. I post work from my photo projects, sketches from my notepad, and infographics from my research. Sometimes I write about my body dysmorphia but more often I post photos of my butt. Your hair looks amazing today.

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy it!

88/365 Jogging on Flickr.Singapore is kind of what I imagine a modern-day Babylon would look like.  Lush, tropical landscapes everywhere you look, with gorgeous modern architecture bursting from the trees like the buildings were placed by nature.
I’m kind of over-romanticizing it, but the place is gorgeous.

87/365 Checking in
Finally arrived at our hotel in Singapore after 20+ hours of flying. Ready to catch up on some sleep and begin exploring.  Phil arrives in 9 hours.  Tomorrow is a much needed spa day.

66/365 Week 4 of Cutting
Compared to my first week of cutting, there is not much visual difference. The fat loss is much slower than I was hoping for; I’ve lost 5lbs more of fat and gained a little more muscle (my rump is an inch bigger), but nothing too noticeable.
 Nevertheless, with this new cutting regimen I’ve actually improved on some measurements *while* losing fat, so maybe I should just stick with it a little longer. Usually I have a BDD freakout after I lose too much weight because all my measurements are dwindling smaller, but I haven’t had nearly as much body anxiety with this new regimen. Just two more weeks till I start bulking.  Hang in there, me!

55/365 Climbing on Flickr.Took pup hiking around Santa Cruz as part of his birthday present, and discovered this awesome train bridge.  I wanted to do some dramatic shots from the 40-foot drop, but pup was worried I’d slip and die.  So.  This was all I got to take.  :/

41/365 Week 1 of cutting on Flickr.Pup and I have been cutting for a little over a week (okay, 16 days for me).
I’ve lost about 15lbs of fat, and about half an inch on all my measurements, however my chest has grown +2.5” to an all-time large of 52.5”.
I’m doing a whole new diet (carb restrictive) and workout regime (negative reps to failure)…the results thus far have been surprisingly exceptional.  Even pup has lost ~15lbs, while improving on a couple of his measurements.

29/365 Butt
Cutting is going well. I’m down to 250lbs and my backside seems more defined.  My jockstrap left a little halo outlining my butt.  Huh.

21/365 Restaurant Depot! on Flickr.Because pup is a restaurateur he has access to Restaurant Depot, which is like Costco, but for restaurants. 10-pound boxes of tuna steaks for $50, tubs of authentic mozzarella de buffalo, entire cows butchered to your specifications…Its a little like gainer paradise.
We’ve started shopping here because our combined 10,000+calories/day diets require we buy things in restaurant-size quantities.  Sigh.
