Staying Committed and Focused through Chaos
I am still working at it really hard. My schedule has become really hectic but I am plowing through it. I have been sticking to my diet, lifting in the evenings and doing my cardio twice each day. Ironically, my gut looks like it got bigger (but it really hasn’t) only due to the fact that my hips and thighs went down. Getting toned. Biceps and chest have gone up. Was shocked to see veins popping out of my pecs and biceps- kind of grossed me out but pretty cool at the same time.
Shrinking out of my new jeans and they are only 3 weeks old. Weigh day this Friday and I hope that the numbers are good. It would be cool if I can hit the 200-pound mark by July 4th.
This has become more than a lifestyle change for me. It has become an obsession, a good obsession that I am very possessive about. I am feeding off of my little victories and that is what keeps me going. I am and always will be my own best competitor- I drive myself really hard. It keeps me centered and focused even when things around me are in chaos.
I keep imagining myself, as I want to be- cut and lean. Being only 5’9 I know that I am gonna have to get down to at least 175 and then build back up again to see and get the results that I want to have. I can’t wait to start bulking but that is several months down the road. I am doing my best to keep my goals realistic one step at a time.
One thing is for certain, I am a hell of a lot better off now than I was back in December when I weighed 270 pounds.
The best is yet to come.
