Pound-by-Pound....

Again this morning Chris and I made it to the gym for another 6AM workout. It felt good going even after a mere 5 hrs of sleep...I really have to get that sleep thing worked out, anyways.... Prior to writing this post, I completed some sets of hand-weights, some ball/wall squats, and walking in place. I use a set of 3 lb weights, of which doesn't sound like much, but it doesn't take a heavy weight to see results. Like so many challenges in life, you just have to pound away at the weight you are trying to shed. Chipping away the small outer pieces first, then as that begins to break down, bigger pieces will fall off. It is always a slow start the first week or two, then the results will roll in for a while. Of course, we will hit bigger pieces that need more pounding to break free and we plateau. When you hit the wall don't give up, it's just your body readjusting and you just have to go to bigger tools. This journey isn't just a trip to the park; it's more like starting out in the park, hitting the desert, climbing some mountains, and finally hitting calm waters beach-side somewhere, with a whole new outlook on ourselves and the world around us. Know that no matter how hard you try, you will have bad days, but try even harder and the good ones will follow. The results will come, there is no doubt about it. Over the following months of this journey we will work together and find what works for each of us, what mode of transportation will carry us to our destination. Everybody is different, therefore how we make it to the end location will be different. I hope life is treating you well and we will speak again. Best Wishes and God Bless.
