2/15/09 Been miserable with a cold for the last week, in and out of work -- time at home allowed me to explore some things on WMM. Enjoyed the eroticism of EMG and Cardigan's files, and found HypnosDC very sexy, but found the best resource in MN Friendly Guy's Muscle Pig file series. I was very happy that when I made a quick comment about one of the Muscle Pig files, Mark messaged me about it, and we exchanged a few private messages. We might do some live chat soon. Mark's ideas in the Muscle Pig series are not an exact match with my goals, but they're very close. His series is more geared toward competitive bodybuilding, whereas my desires are more for a powerlifter or World's Strongest Man type of build for my body. Still, I've been listening to the Muscle Pig series (especially One, One Reinforced, and Three) fairly often, and I do find a new awareness of myself as a Muscle Pig developing. I find myself making decisions about foods and activities by thinking what a Muscle Pig would do, and then choosing that option. There's a gentle, erotic sense of pleasure when I think and act like a Muscle Pig. In that moment, I am a Muscle Pig! I'm hopeful that my cold will go completely away soon. I plan to try working out tomorrow after work and see how my breathing is. Many of the Muscle Pig One suggestions that I remember apply to the interaction of my conscious and subconscious minds while working out -- I'm eager to lift weights and try Mark's ideas out. HJ
