Body For Life Blog

So it’s day 17 already. I just finished my lower body workout and the change is amazing. I have made a quantum leap in the weights I’m able to lift, especially in my lower body workouts.

The one thing that keeps bothering me is the scale. I’ve heard it a million times before already, yet I can not resist the temptation to go and weigh myself. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I have only lost 2.2 pounds.

These are the times when the doubt starts crawling in. I’ve been reading forum posts and I know that I’m not alone in this. A lot of people don’t see weight loss in the first few weeks of their challenge. So what can be done?

I will stick with the pictures to measure my progress… and… I will have faith in the program. I know that if I keep eating right and if I keep working out. There is no way I will not achieve my goals. It might not be in 12 weeks. But who cares? If I just improve myself every day. If I take another step towards achieving my goals… I will get there someday. There is no other possibility.

There is one other thing that I know for sure: “What would happen if I quit?”
If I quit I will most certainly not reach my goals… and I will probably fall back to my weight gaining habits.

I took my wife out to lunch in a fancy restaurant… It was tempting but I stuck with it and ate healthy. I can not describe the pride I felt walking out of the restaurant, knowing that I have not broken out of my way. If I keep behaving like a thin sports-minded person. I will become a thin sport-minded person.

So 17 days have passed in this first round of Body for Life program. The weight have not dropped much, but I’m still moving on the right path.

Wish us all luck, health and goal achievements.
