Small and certainly not earthshattering progress. Remember I am not trying to lose weight on the scales merely fat off the gut! Here is a good example of the body trying to hang on to what it’s got! It clearly needs more shock to get moving. Diet needs more focus (who said chocolate was off the list??? Oh yeah I did)
This past week – Alcohol free? check!, 5 workouts? check! 5 star diet approach – not exactly.
Measure, evaluate, adjust and let’s see how we go this week. I have to say the focus is helping give my training more meaning and I expect big results to come…..soon!
Not getting much easier…….In fact not sure how I got them done up last week?
I have been chatting lately a bit about building in a so called ‘buffer zone’. What I mean by this is a little expansion space before alarm bells sound and action needs to be notched up a level. You need to find out what your outer limit is. I am not just talking body fat either, I am talking mental, physical and nutritional boundaries. These are all inextricably tied together. Some people can get away with a bit more than others but as Clint Eastwood used to say ‘a man (insert woman here too, not so politically correct as Clint) has to know his limitations’. I see so many people who come to us when things have got WAY out of hand. It is indeed true that it is always possible to turn things around and we have many examples of that. The thing is it just gets harder and harder the longer you leave it and the chances of success diminish. It is far easier is to keep regular checks and adjust just like a Pilot does on a scheduled flight path. Awareness is the key, that way you will be able to be in control.
till next week….
