Day 15 – I’m Losing Myself

So the program has changed as we knew it would. Today comes a reduced dietary intake but same food and a new workout plan. While I was expecting this and have heard others mention the change, it is a little disconcerting to change just when you are getting used to it. As Patrick said, the high amount of food last week was ramping up our metabolisms and over the next weeks the amount will drop helping to shed unwanted weight. The exercises are great but are becoming harder as sets and reps change.

I can vaguely see changes in my body and my pants feel looser so it seems to be starting, at the same time my muscles are strengthening and becoming more firm. My eldest son askes for me to flex my muscles and then demands that I feel his, then asks if they are as big as mine – I always say he's massive and that he’s really strong.

I've noticed that I have had no heartburn for the past 2 weeks – probably because I have cut down on acid beverages but I also know that internal weight plays a part in acid reflux. I’m sheding not only subcutaneous but also visceral fat and as time goes on I’ll notice changes not only in my shape but in how my internal body feels.

This is me at 15 days:
