So how many times have you found yourself working out and wanting to see more results then what you are seeing? I mean you go home after what seems to be an eternity already that you have been doing this, and you look in the mirror only to see yourself still carrying the extra weight in the areas you do not want to see.
But wait; when you really think about it you have only been doing it for 3 weeks now and even though it may seem like an eternity, your body is still trying to figure out what it is you are really trying to do. How much time did it take your body to get into the condition that you are in right now? If you are out of shape, did you just wake up one morning and look and feel like you were out of shape? Or did it take weeks, months, or even years to get to the shape you are in?
When it comes to working out you have to consider that your metabolism is going to play a huge role. You have to eat properly and often. I do my best to eat six times a day. I don’t mean huge meals that will leave me on the couch holding my stomach wishing I had forced those last bites. I am talking about the mini meals as I call them, large snacks throughout the day that is sandwiched between two glasses of water. This type of eating helps your body feel like it is constantly being fed. Since it feels this way, your body will be ok with burning off the calories quicker because it trusts that you will provide it with something very soon. So you want a faster metabolism to burn more calories, which will help you lose weight and make your experience in the mirror a happier one.
Another huge concept to grasp is one about compounding. If you are a person who tends to see everything as the final result and cannot quite picture the between stages, please try to understand this. The working out that you provide for your body is not going to change things over night. Everyday if you put in the work towards your ultimate dream of where you see yourself you will begin to build momentum. As the momentum grows and you continue on your process you will see more changes at a more rapid pace.
It is the same concept as saving money. At first the amount of money that you save may be very small. But each month if you stick with it, you will see the savings begin to build more and more rapidly. And as you keep building and investing, soon you look up and you have something that is pretty dang solid.
Your body is your bank. How are you going to invest? What are you going to do to ensure that you are going to get to your ultimate goal? A little today and a little tomorrow are the foundation of what you are trying to achieve. And that is building a palace in which you live. Start with the foundation, the palace will come.
Own yourself! Run your life!
