Steemfat: Progress pictures week 6 - Very happy with the results so far!
Steemfat is the name for my journey to get in shape for steemfest 2.
As promised in my blog post this morning. Here are the progress pictures for week 6.
I can really see change happening now and my body is transforming. I feel great.
Going to the gym has become part of my routine now. I go there 5 days a week.
Finding balance
It took me a while to find balance on this journey. At the start, I went a bit mental and (funnily) didn't eat enough to gain results. I think I did not eat enough carbs.
Now I feel like I'm spot on.
I realize that restricting myself too much while trying to get in shape makes me miserable. You need fun in life and I get that from good food and a nice drink.
So I still drink beer or have a nice glass of wine (and sometimes a lot more....). I eat steak or other good meat from my green egg.
I go out to a restaurant with Bianca and have a nice meal.
But I do watch what I eat and drink besides that. No soft drinks or bad snacks for instance.
It's about balance and I can live with that.
I still do all the things that make me happy and getting results in the meantime. Great!

You're doing a great job brother! Proud of you! A picture really is worth a thousand words b/c you can see a big difference.
Couldn't agree with you more about being too stringent on the diet. If you're having fun and enjoying yourself it's much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you feel like you're depriving yourself of everything you take enjoyment from, it weighs on you mentally and it's much easier to cut corners or quit. I've always preferred the word "lifestyle" instead of saying diet. Diet to me has always had a negative feel to it, like your cutting things out in the future for past transgressions. Lifestyle provides a very positive vibe and gives you the feeling that your all your actions are working together to provide the life you want. I'd love to take credit for this but one of my old boxing trainer's would always say this, and it's stuck with me.
Keep up the great work brother!!
Now we're talking!!! If I can give you another tip: buy yourself an elastic belt that you wrap around the waist while doing cardio. As tight as possible, but not that thigth you can hardly breath ofcourse. It helps to get away easier the (in Holland) so called "lovehandles".
Good job man, it really shows (and pays) off now.
Thanks, man!
Whoa!! @exyle, keep doing what you are doing.
Hard work paid off.
Great Job!!
thanks!
It's good to see finally your hard work and dedication has started to reflect on your body...I think consistency is the key here...even I have started working out recently and your progress has only motivated me to skip alcohol and grab my running shoes. Keep up the good work :)
Good luck with your work outs! and thank you!
Great achievement!... I am very sure that with the kind of dedication you put on your workout, you will definitely achieve your goal before Steemfest 2.
Really nice to see somebody put himself out there and share his results with us. Nice gains :). Keep up the good work
Thank you!
very nice progress @exyle, your shoulder looks a lot straighter and stronger than before and your belly fat also disappears, i like to mentioned that Hard work only pays off when it meets the right plan of action and you are doing exactly the same by maintaining the balanced diet and regularly going to gym. thanks for sharing.
Wow the shape is comming , there is indeed a big progress compared to last time-good job. However note that being in good shape physically is great however mental shape must not be forgotten. Therefore take care of yourself mentally and internally by eating healthy, no smoking , take less alcohol and most importantly being positive to yourself and others -all these will make you a whole human being.
wow you are achieving great results in such short space of time, i think it's because of your true dedication and hard work which paid off, you no doubt work with pure beleive that you can do it and you get the results, i hope if you continue in the same manner you should grasp more great results, have a great weekend ahead. thanks
Wow, there really is improvement @exyle, I think you still have a little bit and will be all the parties in the form :)
