Maltese Phil in May

[mifsit]

Hi Everyone. I still intend to answer "what did I do today to make me feel proud?" with each post. Today I did a full work out at the gym. Again I've upped what I'm doing ever so slightly so I'm either doing a little bit more weight, upping the repetitions or incresing the resistance on the cardio machines.

As I've mentiond before I'm feeling it working. The muscles in my tummy are tightening up and I can see a bit of shrinkage in my beer belly. My man boobs still bob about on the cardio machines but I'm ok about that as I'm sure they'll be gone soon enough. I seem to get a sense of euphoria when I've finished my routine and hit the showers. I've never had that before, even in my youth when I'd cycle for 3-4 hours at a time.

In other news we are going to have a 4D baby scan later this month so I'll post the image somewhere for you all to look at.

I've also planted a few things in my garden, chilli peppers, strawberries, pumkins etc to see what grows. Free Food, hmmmmmm

Yay Phil!! You should feel proud. I feel proud of you too!!!
I'd love to see your baby. Is this one of those scans where you can actually see facial features? They are so cool! But the basic ultrasound images are cool too, even though sometimes it's hard to acutally make out the baby!
Keep up the good work Phil.

Good luck with the garden, and congrats on getting in there to the gym and really challenging yourself. You should be very proud.

Hi All

I do feel proud of myself and what I am acheiving. 2 weeks ago I struggled to lift a 20kg wieghts bar. Now I'm bench pressing 40kg. When I do leg curls I'm lifiting more than some of you ladies target weights (140lbs). I better point out that they gym has a mix of metric and imperial wieghts, just to confuse everyone. Whats more I went and did a full workout this morning. I think I'll go 6 days a week and do a workout. I certainly feel like I'm up to it.

I don't honestly think I could have gotten this far without all of your kind words and encoragement (and the same again from my wife). I know I still have a long way to go but If I can do it then anyone can. Food (and booze) is still an issue but I feel like I'm in control instead of those things controlling me.

I made a fantastic thai curry and I'll put the recipe together for you all later on.

It sounds like you are doing an awesome job. I really like that you planted a garden, that's something I've always wanted to do. Since I'm in an apartment though, I don't have anywhere to grow veggies and things.
