It’s amazing how the body changes.  Putting it through the rigors of a healthy diet and exercise program are not easy, especially when results come so slowly.  My saving grace has been progress pictures.  I am sure to take them every three months or so.  Eating clean and exercising are great, but who cares what you do if you’re not getting results.  Since we see ourselves day in and day out, it can be very difficult to pinpoint small changes in the physique.  Although we may feel leaner and healthier, these feelings often manifest themselves into hardcore, visible results weeks or months down the line.  It’s amazing that the camera can sometimes notice what the physical eye overlooks.  The most important thing I think is to realize there is no day but TODAY!  Tomorrow will surely come, and so will January first, and next summer.  Will we still look the same then, or will we do what it takes TODAY, to look and feel better tomorrow.  Setting simple goals and sticking to them no matter what is very important as well.  I always look at myself as a work in progress.  As my body gets stronger and faster, my goals may change, but my willpower and determination can never change.  We all work so hard for these subtle changes.  However, small changes lead to big gains as the years go by.
