[vlog] Fit@40 diary - Entry #2: Hunger pangs and 'Hangry' day!
Following on from yesterday's post ; I've decided to create this account designed to track my body transformation journey. I see many testimonials on the internet showing before and after pictures of people that have successfully gone from 'fat-to-fit.'
While I do believe a picture is worth a thousand words. It is also good to see the journey. Especially when the outcome is uncertain. I've no idea how this transformation will go. Nor whether I have the staying power to see it through. However I do believe that documenting my progress and the accountability that brings can only help my chances. I aim to show the day to day grind however rather than flooding my main account (@nanzo-scoop), I thought I'd blog/ vlog it here for those that are interested in the nitty-gritty.
Long term my aim is to build out this account and use it's Steem Power to support those pursuing health, fitness and personal growth goals.
Wish me luck!!

BACK WORKOUTS
Not sure what it was... It could have been the momentum of yesterday's workout, it could have been the coffee. however I was particularly amped for today's workout. @ivargereiko has me doing supersets pretty much every session. He is keen on getting me to lean out. Then build from there. I think it is the right approach.

Verdict:
I've felt particularly tired after today's session. I'd forgotten my post workout shake so was 'hangry' when I got home! I had a shake for lunch and managed to stay disciplined with a light-ish dinner. Ivar says the hunger pangs are good. Signs that the body is eating into the fat reserves. I hope the scales reflect it tomorrow morning!
Wow.. So much work you putting up from fat to fit. I actually had to fit up too but mine was from slim to fit so instead of staying of food and allowing my body eat from the little fat I had, I ate more. The process was painful and long but it eventually came. I endured the pain and I got the gain. Don't have my pictures while slim, but this is me now
Good on you Nanzo!
Brave for going on this journey and sharing it on here!
I'd like to see what you eat so maybe food pics too??
Im losing weight at the moment too just through eating vegan. The weight is dropping off!
Keeping my eye on this account! Love it!
Thanks! I've started posting food pics also.
Good luck with the vegan diet... I'm not sure I'm ready to go that far yet!
