I really hated how it looked before, now it&#8217;s getting close to &#8220;OK&#8221; \u2013 though it still clearly has a ways to go\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2427\" src=\"http:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/ass-before.jpg\" alt=\"Before shot of my ass\" width=\"261\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/ass-before.jpg 261w, https:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/ass-before-116x300.jpg 116w, https:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/ass-before-232x600.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2428\" src=\"http:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/rear-view675.jpg\" alt=\"My ass after 4 months at the gym\" width=\"283\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/rear-view675.jpg 283w, https:\/\/rawtop.com\/sex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/rear-view675-251x600.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So every so slowly I&#8217;m whipping myself into shape. I know I could work harder \u2013 both exercise-wise and diet-wise \u2013 and get faster results <a href=\"http:\/\/rawtop.com\/resources\/2009\/07\/diet-exercise.jpg\">like I did back in 1997<\/a>, but the pace I&#8217;m going is sustainable, and that&#8217;s more important than anything. The worst scenario is that I burn out and stop going to the gym.<\/p>\n<p>My boyfriend is away thru Monday morning. Part of me wants to be a big slut while he&#8217;s gone, but a bigger part of me just wants a quiet, relaxes, productive weekend. To that end I think I&#8217;ll skip the sex party tonight and instead go to the gym and stay in, relax and do a little work. Boring, I know, but in a way body and work come before sex these days. I&#8217;ll do some parties on Friday and Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been going to the gym for about 4 months now.
