Slim3 Edina Day 40 –8kg

The "bombshell body" is still a ways off, but many people are already saying that the change is noticeable. However, after seeing the photos, I expected better from myself. I thought it would be much more spectacular and much better by now, so I'll have to really push myself. I want even more intense workouts.

I've been through a pretty tough period because I had incredibly difficult exams. I didn't have time for housework, my family, my friends, and lately, even with training, I'd go and do it, but I felt guilty that I wasn't spending that time studying. My head wasn't in it. Unfortunately, I didn't get that liberating, calming feeling after runs and gym workouts. My mind was dead when I got to the gym, and I couldn't concentrate.

I was so looking forward to diving back into the pleasant, relaxing, and incredibly tough workouts. I'm going to give my absolute best, just as I have been, but now I want to be even stricter with myself. I'm starting to love the feeling more and more when my hands and legs are shaking after I leave the gym. And the muscle soreness the next day is great because I know I did something right.

I already know exactly when the last photoshoot will be, so I'm counting down the days. Not because I don't want to do it anymore, but because I can't always stick to the diet 100%. I'm sure that even when it's over, I won't stop exercising; in fact, I want to go more often. It's also certain that I won't eat everything and anything; I want to live and eat healthily, but I know that warm weather, ice cream, and friendly barbecue parties with heavy white bread are coming. At times like those, only the most professional and dedicated can resist eating, and they have my full respect.

So it's almost over, but the momentum isn't slowing down... If only I could recover from all these exams...
