The exhaustion! The exhaustion!

What a work out today! I kind of over did it a bit...I combined my usual cardio and weight lifting with some swimming, followed by some spa time in the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Now this wouldn't be anything remarkable normally, but considering that yesterday was my first day back to the gym after an outrageous 10 days break, ehm I came home like a zombie! I am sure tomorrow I am going to be better. I want to go back for more. You guys know by now that gym is my addiction...it makes me feel so good, it makes me feel happy, I get like a natural high when I work out.
When I don't work out I feel lazy and dull, I get the blues so to speak.
Today I got a great compliment by my "personal trainer"/friend whom I hadnt seen for yeah about 10 days.
She told me that someone told her that I was there on a machine and she couldnt recognize me from the back! She said" No, that is not Hayam!". Wow! That must mean that my body has been changing shape if my own friend doesnt recognize me!
I took a selfie, mostly for myself to see the progress of my "getting fit" process, but I will share it with you guys too, in case someone is interested in seeing my changes.  I will take another one in a month or two to see if I get better/fitter. I really would like to get some muscles, some definition in my arms/shoulders and also of course get fitter in my tummy and legs...but I really have to get back to my day to day routine and no more breaks!

Also I must really cut on carbs and snacks! I never used to eat snacks, my snacks consisted of apples or carrots... I need to go back to my healthy raw vegan eating and to my healthy habits!
