Wow I just finished my best upper body workout yet. I feel amazing!

I am starting to get a little frustrated at my lack of progress on the muscle front though my weight loss is doing nicely.

So I figured maybe I need to up the ante a little.

So tonight I increased the weights I am using. I increased my flyes weights to 13kg per arm tonight - and it nearly killed me! However, I coped (just about) and am now buzzing feeling like I’ve made a real achievement (that’s a massive improvement from the 8kg I started the challange on - so long may it continue.

I’m still shaking from the effort 15 minutes after I finished but I feel fab!

Another interesting experience today was I went to put on a pair of trousers that fitted me a year or so ago but have been feeling *very* tight lately. They were the sort of trousers you stretch up high to spread your belly out before trying to do them up (and ensuring I use a belt to help “spread the weight”!).

I put them on this morning and not only did they fit without any problems, I could get my thumbs in the waistband too without any difficulty.

It’s working!

Can’t wait for my week 3 update - I have a feeling it’s going to be a good one!

Off for a jog again tomorrow morning. I’m genuinely still feeling so motivated and am quite impressing myself with managing to fit my exercise around my job, business and just a little fun here and there.

I’ve got through almost a whole 1.8kg Phosphagen HP since the start of the challange - I’ll make a post soon about the supplement and explain what it does (as far as I understand!).

I’ve got another one on order. Hope it turns up soon…
