Blame it on the booze

Day 2

It's a bit weird taking all those pills and supplements. I never get sick so popping all those pills is a new experience ...

Des (my personal trainer) recommended also taking the USN Fat Block and Carb Block as apparently I need to lose some weight quickly. No kidding! And not surprising either: since our wedding this time last year, I've gained about 12 kgs. Life's been good :-)

When Des took my measurements yesterday, he took one look at my proud wine belly and asked do I perhaps like a drink now and then?

What does one say to that? Yes, I'm fairly passionate about my wines, and the missus and I have been known to klap a few bottles in one session, but that's going to have to stop.

According to Des, alcohol completely messes up your metabolism. And he warned that if I'm serious about losing weight and getting a fit bod, I'm gonna have to say adios to my old friend El Vino. So that's it, no booze for the next 12 weeks.

It will all have been worth the sacrifice if I can prance around on some tropical beach looking supremely fit this summer. Just cos a guy's married doesn't mean he doesn't want the ladies to notice him anymore ...

I guess I am being noticed from time to time, just not for the right reasons. I'm feeling really good about myself - it was high time to take action and I did. Kudos to me. Now it's a matter of sticking with the programme and really giving it my all ... Can't wait to see what progress I'll have made a month from now.
