Trust the process!!!
Just finished 4 weeks of the following:
- 500 calorie deficit daily (weigh your food! Be accurate!)
- 120 G protein daily (from lean meats more than supps)
- 2L water daily
- 10,000 steps daily (add walk/jog to get there)
- Strength training 4-5 times/week
- Limit/avoid alcohol

Truth be told, I have slipped here and there thanks to the crazy baseball schedule, but for the most part have been on!

Felt discouraged along the way because I was mistakenly focused on the number on the scale, but my clothes are fitting looser, I feel better, and that’s all that matters!
Also, moved my body stats all into the green! Had more than a few in the yellow, but not anymore!!!!

From prepping sandwiches, fruit, and snacks for a weekend long baseball tournament to meal prepping my work week! No rest for the weary!!!

Was venting to a friend the other day about how dedicated I have been to hitting my goals, but the scale isn’t budging much! 😩

- Calorie deficit ✅ (literally weighing food and counting calories to a T)
- Lifting heavy + added cardio workouts ✅ (over 10K steps a day)
- More water ✅
- Super clean eating ✅ (chicken and fish life)
- Minimal alcohol ✅
ALL THE THINGS!!!

She said, well you LOOK great! How do you feel?

Ya know… I feel great!
Stronger, faster, less bloated, more energy!
My clothes are getting looser.
I see muscle definition.
I’m able to lifter heavier.

I decided to take some measurements and I’m so glad I did!
My weight may not be dropping like I want, but I am making gains!

So long story short, DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE SCALE and TRUST THE PROCESS!!!

Implementing new things to reach my goals…
1 is increasing daily step count/cardio.
On the weeks I work dayshift, I have no troubles reaching more than 10,000 steps. Every other week, I’m noticing I don’t even get half that.
So I’ve added in a walk/jog every day to make sure I reach at least 10,000 steps.
This has been either on the treadmill or on the trails.
Definitely burn a lot of calories doing a walk/jog in Florida 90+ degree weather!
This is all IN ADDITION to strength training/weightlifting workouts.
