Two weeks in, changes I've noticed

Since I have a lot more time to reflect, here are a few changes I've been experiencing:

Body pains (except back) have faded: I was familiar with random pains all the time: legs, feet and a lot of headaches, since the diet and exercise these pains have reduced to practically non existent. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about my bulging disc issue in my lower back.

Energy: A boost in daily energy is apparent. Waking up is a lot easier with only a little bit of grogginess.

Mood and enthusiasm:  I have experienced a lot of mood swings. I have become a lot more short fused, I assume the drastic change in diet and activity has brought this, must have to do with the low sugar consumption. On the bright side I am far more enthusiastic to pursue hobbies and challenges.

Sex drive: Now here is a weird one, I have had an extreme drop in sex drive. I am once again attributing this to the changes in my life and diet.

Skin: My skin is getting tighter, stretch marks are fading and some muscle is present.

Grammar and spelling: Still terrible and please forgive me internet!

That's really all I can think of for now, I can't wait to see these updates in a few months.

Proud

Everything is getting better. I am still working out everyday, still on the diet and changes are beginning  to form, heres a good example:



Though not significant, my skin feels tighter and I feel a little bit more lean. I have cut drinking down to about 5 a week from my five a day. Smoking like a train still, but one step at a time.

Steady rolling

Feel good today, still on my diet, about to go to the gym and get some exercise in. Body feels good, mind feels good. I am a little tired, I'm sure it's from my body adjusting to my new diet and lifestyle.

Just started my vitamins today, hopefully they also help.

Kicking ass

I have not updated my blog in a while, I've been busy with the gym, a new diet and life in general. I feel fantastic! I did slip up and drink a few days ago, but not nearly as bad as I usually do and didn't crave it the next day. My fitness and diet keeps me in check, I feel my mind and body are recovering indefinitely.

My very strict diet that Joey has built me started about two days ago and works well (with an exception to all the water I have to drink, and the non stop pissing!)

The gym is defiantly an uphill battle, Im starting with small reps, low weight and easing my body into it's new lifestyle. I do not miss a day of gym-time though, which is incredibly important.

I am still smoking, but in due time that will be over, and I don't even mean "I hope", I know for a fucking fact!

Inspiration

No drinking still, currently going into day 5, eating well and I just crushed my first gym session. I feel unbelievable! I am still smoking but at this rate I should be able to quit a lot easier with this motivation and attitude. It really does not take long for your life to turn around when you really want it to. A big thank you to my buddy Joe Ferguson, who went from overweight alcoholic to bodybuilding champion in under two years, he's my trainer and helping me heaps!

From here we just get bigger and better!
