Day 12 of 365 Days of Fitness Blogging

Here is when it starts to happen, throwing in the towel because you are not getting the results you want.  You know you have put in the work.  Doing your workouts, journaling your food and staying within your calorie goals.  So what gives?!  Why are you not getting the numbers like they do on The Biggest Loser?  Well, for one I bet you aren't working out 6 hours a day.  I know I'm not!  But I struggle with the same feelings too.  The little devil on your shoulder starts telling you, "you will never lose the weight so why try". 

I am reminding you and me, it is The Slight Edge at work.  It will not happen overnight.  Have you ever read the story about the penny vs the million dollars?  The father lays dying and offers his sons their choice of 1 million dollars now or 1 penny today and he will double it everyday for 30 days.  Which would you chose?

 

 

You can see from the chart that it wasn't till the very end of the month that the results came.  This is how it is with most things.  The problem is we give up after a few weeks not even realizing that we are so close. Stay strong!

Day 8 of 365 Days of Fitness Blogging

We have made it over 1 week!  It's the small things. :)

Today was a rest day for me.  I always take my rest days for what they are, REST.  The experts put together these fitness programs and have scheduled out the workouts for optimal performance and recovery.  Who am I to argue with them.  I did spend some extra time food planning and shopping for phase 1, which starts tomorrow.  As the workouts intensify my calories go up.  I have went through the Les Mills Pump Nutrition Guide and am looking forward to mixing in some new meals. 

I strongly believe in ongoing personal development.  I believe it is vital for succes in your personal, relationship, finance, businesss and all other areas of your life.  I am currently reading The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.  Great read and it is one that you will read over and over again.
