Freeletics: RELOADED

I'm back... again!

I guess I haven't been the best role model to you. I know that, and I'm really really sorry. You see, sometimes (quite often actually) life gets in the way of our plans. You think "I can finish the 15 weeks program at once" but then you get a new job, and/or get injured, or sick, or you have to travel, and suddenly your whole plan has to change...

My commitment and determination to complete the Freeletics program has never decayed. I still want to be the best version of myself. I still want to get to the best shape I've ever been in. I still want to become a faster and stronger soccer player. But life got in my way -BIG TIME- and I just couldn't do it when I wanted to do it. I guess that's just part of being alive: things don't always go our way, but we have to be able to roll with the punches and make the best out of every situation.

That being said, I regret not being the best role model to you, but at the same time I don't regret the month spent in Europe, visiting my family in Belgium after 12 years and travelling around a little bit (Brussels, Leuven, Antwerp, Brugge, London, Paris, Strasbourg...).

As you can see, I had a great time, and now that I'm back to my boring old routine, I'm beginning again my 15 weeks Cardio&Strength training to make it more interesting. Last time I got the Freeletics guide. Now I have the #coach, so I guess that's an improvement. Now I will be able to talk to you about the personalized training aspect of Freeletics, which I had not tested for myself.

Also I will post new photos from my progress starting tonight. You'll see that loosing your shape is so much easier than getting it... It only takes a few weeks with your aunts and uncles in a foreign country to gain 4 to 5 kilos. Yep, I'm a LOT worse than where I was when I left, but hey, that only motivates me more to re-begin... right?

Me after Week #5

I've successfully finished the 5 week free #Freeletics program, and it's officially time to show you my results (so far) with a new set of pictures.

Besides my hair cut, I tried to keep everything the same so that comparisons are easily done. I took the photos in the exact same location, wearing the same clothes and trying to do the same poses. The lighting I could not control so much, but I think they came up quite similar. Without further ado, here I am after finishing Week#5 and back when I started the program:

After Week #5

Before Week #1

	Week #1	Week #5
Height	1,70 mt	1,70 mt
Weight	63 kg	62 kg	↓
BMI	21,8	21,5
Quads	?	56,5 cm
Gluts	98,5 cm	98,5 cm
Hips	86 cm	85,5 cm	↓
Waist	75 cm	75 cm
Bust	90 cm	90 cm
Biceps	29 cm	29 cm

As you can see in the pictures and read in my measurements, the changes I've experienced so far are almost imperceptible. I think the only slightly noticeable thing is a bit of definition in my abs (high, in between the last ribs).

Overall I feel stronger and in better shape and I know by other people's experiences that after only five weeks you can't really see that much of a change in pictures. I'm sure that the change I'm feeling inside, growing with every workout, will get to the surface rather sooner than later.
