Proud of myself - after Xmas and New Year, I thought I might have gained a few kilograms. So I weighed myself on 13th January 2014 to see where I'm at for the coming year. I LOST another 2.5 kilograms! Now weighing in at 90 kilograms - am pumped.

I also got 'Trainer of the Month' from my gym, with this commentary:

"Our TRAINER OF THE MONTH for December 2013 is Guy Picone.

Guy has been one of the most consistent trainers at the gym. However, he's made some impressive transformation in the last couple of months alone. First he did the 6 week challenge in which he made great progress and then he continued with his improvement even through the festive season.

When we first introduced the Trainer Of The Month Guy asked the question "How does one become a Trainer Of The Month?" The answer... is simple.
"Just how you did it now. You earn it."

Great work Guy and keep it up mate."

So this has driven me a little more - I now interval train instead of just walking. I jog as far as I can, do some stair climbs, throw in crunches between stair sets.

Last Thursday I ran for 3.2 kilometers non-stop in a 4.95 kilometer effort. This included a stair climb at Lady Macquarie's Chair.

Bought myself a few t-shirts and sports shorts. Also bought a new pair of black denim shorts - same exact style as the ones I wear to golf, except the old ones are 42 inch waist - my new ones are 38 inch waist!!!!!!
