Tuesday 9 September | 1 third behind us

Another hard work-out with Des. Afterwards, I actually felt a bit strange - like I'd pushed too hard. This lasted well into the afternoon.

But it's now evening and my wife has just taken some pics, which I'll upload in the side bar to your right, and boy oh boy, has it been worth it. What a difference!

And yes, that tan is thanks to the sunbed, and it does help, but it's clear that I've lost weight and that my body is getting some definition. I did weigh myself this morning at the gym and I now weigh 87.2 kgs. That's a whopping 5.5kgs less than 4 weeks ago - and I'm sure I've gained some muscle in the mean time, so my body fat percentage should have dropped quite a bit.

I'll only know for sure once Des does his next assessment. I believe he said he'd do one after 5 weeks. Since I started the challenge a week before I started training with Des, that'll be right around the halfway mark then ... Here's to looking even better by then :-)
