Body For Life Blog

So here I am… I just finished week 4 of my Body for Life Program. This means I’ve just finished a third of my first challenge. It’s time for a short summary on how things are going at the moment:

First of all scale-wise - my weight has hardly changed. If you read my blog you’d know that in the beginning I had problems with this, but for now I can safely say that this is not the case.

I have been getting stronger with each workout. The progress you can make in your body for life workouts is amazing. The weight that you can lift, the cardio effort you can endure. Your body is truly getting in shape and it feels amazing.

I was running the other day to my car (in a rush home after work) and I could not believe how “lighter” I felt, how easy it was for my body to do this little workout.

The big challenge for me with this program was keeping up with the same intensity during all the workouts. It is hard to give it your best 6 times a week. It is hard knowing that you’re working your butt off and the results are slow - steady - healthy and gradual.
The same can be said about the intensity of keeping with the eating for life method. I can’t safely say that the way I was “guarding” my meals on week 1 is the same as it is now on week 4, I started adding meals together… I let myself grab a bite from other people around the table.

- But But But -
With all that being said. It’s important to note.
That - I stuck with the program, and plan on sticking with it. This is my new way of life, this is me chasing my dream of a thinner, healthier me. This is me wanting to be happy, and this is me continuing on this long journey for a better life.

It is a well known phenomena, that most people who quit their body for life challenge do this around weeks 4 and 5. This is mainly caused by the little visible progress one can see after only 4 weeks. I am not going to be one of those people. I’ve made this mistake before and I’m not going to make it again. I know this is a marathon run, this is a long run.

I know I look better know than I did 4 weeks ago, so I know I will look better 4 weeks from now… and this is all that matters.

Good Luck for us all on our journey.
