I find myself looking in the mirror and say its not coming off quick enough! I am not growing enough! But I am working hard, why am I not seeing the type of results that I want??
I have come to the simple conclusion that I just like most are so impatient and want instant gratification (as we American’s so often feel this way)!
What simple tools we have at our disposal to help see the results if we utilized them correctly! I feel like a fool, somehow I forgot that I took my own personal measurement on November 17th last year so I can track my progress.
Well looking at those #’s last night and wondering why haven’t I seen the progress I have been wanting, I decided to take those same measurements again to see if I am getting results or simply crazy.
Turns out I am CRAZY! PROGRESS had been made…
Nov 17th 134 days ago March 29th Change
253 lbs Weight 243 lbs -10 lbs
48” Chest 49.5” +1.5”
15” Arms 15.3” +0.3”
47.5 Hips 44.3” -3.2”
51” Waist 42” -9” (yikes, and still more to go)
28” Thighs 24.5” -3.5”
18” Calves 16” -2”
18” Neck 16” -2”
Less body fat, more muscle and size! I continue to move in that direction with even more vigor now knowing the results I have accomplished at this point.
Looking back, knowing that out of that 134 days I missed a full month due to a shoulder injury. How much more progress could have been made with more consistent tracking, better dedication to nutrition and exercise!
Conclusion: Patients, consistency, setting goals, tracking your progress and know that anything worth achieving only comes with your own blood, sweat and tears!
