Just a matter of time
I made it through a busy work week and the holidays. Did my lifting and cardio and stuck to my diet. Only lost 1 pound in a 2-week period. I blame that on the creatine and whey protein that I was taking. But on the upside, my new 36 waist jeans got too big on me. Maybe the conversion to muscle is actually and finally happening- I can certainly see and feel the difference.
I had to get rid of 4 huge bags of clothes that were way too big on me- donated them to charity.
I am impatient. I want my results NOW. I am staying committed and putting in the effort. I have hit plateaus before but not for this long. I make myself discouraged because I demand a lot of myself and I become my own worst enemy. Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe without it, I wouldn’t have gotten this far.
Time to get grounded and re-think things. I also prayed on it for a little divine intervention and I got an answer. I met a wonderful lady at work. Turns out that she is a former bodybuilder and trainer. She is going to give me a diet and exercise plan for putting on muscle once I have hit my weight loss goal.
This week, I am going to change my lifting and cardio routine and shock my body into a new adaptation. I am only 6 pounds away from my next weight loss goal to get down to 200 pounds and I know I will get there.
Just a matter of time.

Wrong. You are 6.1 pounds away from seeing that "1". 200 is a speed bump. I remember when I was there very well. I could smell it, see it. It was like rounding the last turn of a mile and seeing that finish line. Now is the time to sprint. Now is the time to get mad. Now is the time to focus harder & work beyond what you think you can.
Sprint to that "1". It WILL happen!
