Yes!
Finally someone jumped in! It's great because I am no longer alone in this adventure!

C33, just as a reminder, I bought fitter clothes, tossed the ones that are too large for me, but kept the ones that fit me just... although now I try to only wearing the fitter ones.

You can't believe how great it is to know that you're in this. Today I was thinking, while looking at myself: "wow I still have a long way to go." I kept the motivation telling myself that I can't expect a major change to happen overnight, that I have to be patient. The feeling of not being alone definitely is inspiring.

So here is what I did today: I was good on the diet, still following the principles of Dr McKeith. They are quite easy to grasp for a nutrition beginner. I discovered Akuri beans and cooked some for tonight... very good! Not so keen on the flax oil, though

For those who live in London, I have discovered a fantastic organic food store, located in 200 Kentish Town road (it's called Earth Natural Food), and it's quite cheap if you compare to healthy food prices in the City. It was recommended by my flatmate.

Exercizewise, went to the gym for an hour, did some running, rowing, abs and press... I find it difficult to remain focused while exercizing, my mind always ends up drifting off to weird places... maybe because the exercize itself is still too hard and my brain makes me forget the pain-

I still can't get into the fitter pants, but it looks like i have 1-1,5 inches to loose, so that will take time. To compensate, I tighten my belt more. And I am wearing the fitter shirts all the time now.
