This weekend has been – well – interesting. I had my little brownie on Fri, then went out on Sat and had a beautiful tenderloin with a glass of wine and a HUGE slice of chocolate fudge cake. I downed that cake in minutes. Well, probably seconds. It was a HUGE slice. I was the only person at the table who was able to finish it. It was kinda funny! Then today nutrition was good… but sneaked another brownie in there. Not as bad as the previous weekend with all the wine and pizza… but got that coming up again next weekend. Hmmm…
But I have to admit something… yesterday and today I was walking around town and I felt fantastic. I felt healthy and fit. Sure, it helped that my size 32″ pants were falling off me… OK that was embarrassing. But – I’m feeling better and better about myself… physique wise, I’ve still got a lot of work to do… but when clothed, I look really good. I look toned and back on track. And fitness and health wise, I’m feeling absolutely fantastic!
But this is also where I have to watch myself. Now I feel that I’m close to being on top of the world, I have to be careful not to get too taken with it all, and think that I can lose my concentration. Sometimes when you feel like superman, you think you can take on the world, abuse yourself and you’ll be fine. That’s not true. This is now the test.
Same with money… when I get to that $0 place… it’ll be tempting to go celebrate… but that’s where the hard work starts… letting down some of the guards that have been put up and trying to ensure the whole damn isn’t going to come down with it. It’s like a game of Jenga (I think that’s the one). You want to try and remove some blocks, but ensure the whole structure doesn’t fall down.
That’s where I am right now… I’m happy, content and satisfied with progress… come on – 20lbs in less than 10 weeks, that’s pretty awesome 
But there’s more work… however having my holiday 3.5 weeks away from now is hugely motivating and exciting… it’s 3.5 weeks more training and then I’m away, which’ll act as a refresher, then I can come back and be more focussed than ever
