Day 45...the countdown begins tomorrow

Morning guys.. just finished day 45 workout with Reevsie, man they are getting longer by the day.. on Friday I was up at 530, into the skipping by 550 but didn't finish the whole workout til just after 7, meaning i got to work pretty late.. not sure if i can keep doing that for the next 45 days, will need to find a way to split it in half - perhaps do the skipping in the morning and then the gym work at lunch or after work, though I like the idea of doing it all at once.. again this morning the workout took just over an hour.

anyway last night was my 7th saturday night in a row without a drink - i have gone 48 days so far without any booze and decided to "celebrate" Friday with a mocktail at the ritz upstairs from work with my wife - oh what a wild life we lead nowadays! But i think this is vaguely indicative of what's been happening lately - thinking that my progress has been great so far I have decided to cut little corners here and there, which i then feel guilty about.. must get better at sticking rigidly to the program - it will make those Indulgences seem all the sweeter!

i'm starting to notice that although i've dropped loads of weight (and am getting a lot of comments about it), i can see that there's still a lot more hanging around the gut - i've got another 6 1/2 weeks to go, need to stay strong to get rid of it.
