Amazingly, these photos were taken after the initial “pre season” period and just over a week of regular gym training. I’d already lost approximately 5 to 6 kg at this stage. (First 3 photos)

Second row of 3 photos taken after a month of regular gym training. Certainly some visible signs of progress, not quite as clear as the feeling of being much fitter and thinner though. Dropped about 4 notches on the belt now!

Third row of 3 photos taken after doing a revised gym routine for just over a month (lots more weights work, more rowing etc.) Showing signs of contours, shadows and even the edge of the rib cage!. Have had to buy a new (smaller) belt…

Fourth row of 3 photos taken 4 months in — front and side views show progress a bit, however it’s the shaping of the back that makes me go “wow”

Fifth row of 3 photos taken 7 months in — you can see some physical changes, what you can’t see is the improvements in fitness levels and health!
Looking awesome mate! I was at Walkabout Wellness when you were doing your first fitness test
Congrats on all your hard work 
Hi Brooke — thanks!
Will hopefully get a blog post up soon about yesterday’s half marathon — and now just 4 weeks away from achieving the original goal set of completing a full marathon.
Not that it’s going to end there of course!
How’s things going with your own health/fitness efforts?
