The End

Just before the credits roll, here are the all important final shots. There are rather a lot, but it's my blog and this is the ultimate pat on the back, so here we go!!!

Let's start with the Day 0 v Day 90 pics.

Shot 1 - Full Frontal!


Shot 2 - Side On


 Shot 3 - Belly


Shot 4 - Back


Shot 5 - The ill fitting shirt!


And finally... here a few others from the final photo shoot!

The final weigh-in, a remarkable 11 st 11 lbs!!!


An instagrammed leg shot!

And last but not least, one very happy customer!


Having had the best part of a week to reflect on the 90 days my overwhelming emotion is that i need to say a few BIG thank you's.
To Debbie, for dealing with my weird eating habbits, taking all the photos and just generally putting up with me!
To Nicky, for being stuck in the same boat. At the start it was pretty difficult to work out if you were "doing it right" and having someone else to talk to about that and everything else you're missing out on helps a great deal.
To Kevin, cheers pal. The pictures above have far exceeded my expectations and the sacrifices made to have set up and maintained FIYL along with everything else you've got going on must have been great. Wingfest 2012 beckons in October, there better not be an egg white in sight!

I'm looking forward to the next steps, i now know i've got all the tools to maintain the healthy lifestyle i've learned about, the trick will be striking a balance that fits in. Once i've done my run at the end of the month i'm away on holiday for a week, after that i'm going to refocus and set myself some new goals. That photo of my target physique posted on day dot will require a considerable amount more effort but I think I might just give it a go!!!

If you're reading this and cosidering FIYL as an option, my only advice is to stop thinking about if it's right for you, stop making excuses about why you can't do it, bite the bullet and please, please do it. 90 days really isn't that long!

Lots of love,

Swee.

Day 90, but not quite the end!

The house move (and a cheeky round of golf!) left my day ridiculously busy on Sunday so I didn't fit in the mammoth day 89 workout (although I didn't mention that when I blogged yesterday as I was still kidding myself I'd get round to it!). This was a big mistake, especially when I saw that the day 90 set was just a hark back to a bygone era, so I completed it to glorious failure today and will run my diet (with zero salt) into tomorrow (day 91), complete my official day 90 workout after work (on day 91), then head home for a final photo shoot!

It's a bit arse about face but I just couldn't let this thing finish without a bang so really glad I completed the beast that was day 89! When I fell to the mat after that last plank I was hit with a most unexpected wave of emotion and had to take a moment to compose myself. After such a huge effort I thought I'd feel relieved that I didn't have to do it again, and I suppose I was to a point, but it was tinged with a bit of self-congratulatory euphoria and, just like when anything notable ends, a touch of sadness.

Anyway, will finish up for good after the photos are taken tomorrow and post my final entry at the weekend.

Nearly there!!!
