After two weeks of training and one week of dieting, it is time for the weigh in.

My weight has remained the same at around 57.5kg, but my body fat has reduced from 13.3% to 8.8%. My trainer remeasured at least three times to be absolutely sure and seemed more excited about this “achievement” than I did. I was obviously pleased too, but 8.8% doesn’t mean an awful lot to me — I just wanted to get to the 10% that most people aspire to.

The rest of the session was great. Although my trainer has always been incredibly enthusiastic (and demanding), today he seemed even more enthused. At the end of the session, he told me that he couldn’t wait to tell his colleagues. He also said that I could be his best ever transformation, so I had better not mess it up — no pressure on me then!
