Results !!!!!

So my 60 Day Personal fitness challenge is officially over.  Firstly I'd like to say a quick couple of thank you's. 1st and foremost I'd like to thank Gemma (Partner and mother of my gorgeous wee Boy).  She spends all day looking after our son and then when I come home she still encourages me to do my training. When I don't feel like it, she gets on my back and tells me to get my finger out.  She has helped so much with my diet and shopping for new food and different ideas on how to eat more clean.  Throughout the whole challenge she has been a massive support and the challenge would have been a lot harder without her. 2nd I'd like to thank Brian Milligan who is my trainer from BM Fitness in Troon.  Now, when I get something into my head I can become pretty obsessed and I'm sure to Brian I have been a complete pain in the arse with all my Text and Facebook messages outwith working hours.  He's been very patient with me and for that I am thankful.  He has also been the backbone behind my training and dieting.  Together, we came up with a manageable diet plan and from his classes I managed to devise some of my own 'mini workouts at home' and he has also sent me over some workouts to keep variation in my training.  His 'No Bullshit' approach to training and dieting is unrivalled in my eyes so take advantage of his welalth of knowledge like i have.  Last but by no means least, you guys, who have read my blog and helped motivate me through the full 60 days.  I'm going on like iv just won an Oscar but for me i have acheived 10 times more than my highest expectations.  Iv had over 3000 views on my blog since day one and to see that and hear all the positive comments it really has helped a lot so Thank You All!

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet.  I would hate for it to have come across in this way but in doing this blog and keeping my updates on Facebook it has been a pressure in the back of my head that 'I Can't Fail'!!  Also just want to say that if I can do this then so can anyone.  This challenge has cemented a new lifestyle for me.  I am eating clean all the time and loving it.  I'm also really enjoying my training and excited about, for the 1st time EVER, achieving my long term goal of getting my Bodyfat under 10% and trying to maintain that.  Its going to sound pretty vain, but every guy wants a 6 pack and im no exception.  It is within touching distance now!

So I'm going to spare you the pish talk and get onto the all important results. Below, I have added 3 picture. 2 before and after picture (1 with a slightly less 'I Want to Die' face) and my before and after measurements. The results speak for themselves.  Eat clean and train hard and I guarantee you will achieve your goals.  Also it's got to be said....Listen to your trainer!!!  I have listened to all of Brian's advice throughout this challenge and in doing so I have made healthy changes and dropped the 'Chest and Biceps' workouts in aid of a full body beasting. 

So that's pretty much it from me.  I won't be blogging any more but I will be continuing my personal challenge.  The 60 days ended yesterday but I am already onto my next challenge in trying to get my bodyfat under 10%.  My skinfold bodyfat was 13/14% and on the scales it was 16%.  I am going to go for the scales reading and track my bodyfat each week on that. Most of you will continue to see me litter your Facebook news feeds with how I'm getting on so you can keep updated that way!

Peace out people and thank you again!
