Kinda Getting There - 30 Day Progress

Have been having issues going back and forth, and yesterday had a small binge. Not terrible, but I hate that I do that at all because it erases what I'm working so hard for. But, I thought I'd take some pics of my progress over the past 30 days. It's getting there. Still have a long way to go. And, I believe I am now in the toughest part of my transition. The last 5 to 10 lbs, and losing the last of the belly flab. But, here it is.

    I lost 10 pounds and then after getting news of an impending lay off I threw it all away. So I'm starting all over and getting back on track. I'm going to have a lot of free time to get it right soon! lol

    Wow! I can see a huge difference.. and thats JUST 30 days! Great job. :)

    And BTW- don't say that a small binge ERASES what you are working for. Did one day really get rid of those abs that are appearing through your skin? lol doubt it :) Don't punish yourself over one day... accept it- know that its NOT going to throw you off track (unless your taking in thousands and thousands of calories day after day)- and pick up where you left off.

    Not just the abs, I think I can see where my chest is a little better defined too. Yay me! I don't brag, but I get to once in a while. I've been having such a hard time with all this, and yesterday I was thinking, "WTF is this all for?" Just having a weird moment. So, I decided today to take some pics and show myself how far I've come already. Hopefully, my next 30 day pic will be closer to my goal.

    I will say this, it is very difficult at 47. If I even look at a cookie, my belly turns to mush. LOL.

    You've made that much progress in 30 days? Holy mother of crow: spill your secret!

    Working out 6 days a week, sometimes, more than once in a day. And, eating as "right" as I can, with occassionally having bad days, with the bad days becoming less and less. Slowing down on alcohol consupmtion by large amounts and actually logging it, so I can see it. That's about it. Not easy for me at all. Sometimes, downright exhausting.

    In all fairness, I was already kinda in good shape, now I'm sculpting, I guess. Or the modern word is cutting. I can't seem to eliminate the belly flab. But, working on it slowly. If was was 20, it would be so done by now. LOL.

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I really need it. I'm in an existential dilemma right now. :)

    I can see the difference in your pecs as well as in your abs. Done in thirty day?! Amazing.
    I look forward to seeing the next photos as well.

    Are there any more details you can share about your workouts? I expect it is easier when you're younger, but please don't downplay what you've accomplished, because it truly is amazing, especially within the relatively short time you've been working at it.
