Halfway there!!
Is this an awesome quote or what?? If you want to reach a level in your life that surpasses your current place, then you must visualize it in your head first and move forward!
So, here we are at the halfway point for my 'The Time is Now' client. He has completed 5 weeks of his 10 week challenge and he is on his way!
Drum roll please.....JC lost another pound this week and has lost 2 inches in his waist! So, 10 lbs down in 5 weeks. This is exactly what I wanted to see - a slow & steady drop means he is retaining his muscle and losing FAT!
This week I asked JC to express, in his own words, how he feels about the last 5 weeks. I love the honesty and hey- if changing your lifestyle was easy, everyone would do it.
Well, half way through this challenge and I have dropped
half the weight-I am very happy with what I have achieved with Kathy’s direction
and workouts. We definitely ramped up the moves between exercises and
incorporated some cardio with my weights to keep the heart rate up. Some of the
challenges I have had are ones that I feel most people have- entertaining,
traveling etc. So I made a conscious effort to moderate on the alcohol when
out and alternate with water or tea. Nutritionally speaking, I feel good with my food choices and the way things are moving along.
I feel cardio is the key with my weight
loss. If I do it 5-7 times a week and incorporate the weights and cleaner
eating it works-not rocket science put getting to it sometimes can be a
challenge. We are on the back side of this challenge so it is time to really
buckle down and do what needs to be done. Make the time and invest in your
health! JC
Great words JC- because you're right- we all know WHAT to do - it's the execution of the plan that is the hardest part. He also hit on another key point - invest in yourself !
This was our action plan for the week:
1. MORE CARDIO- JC was very honest with his lack of cardio from the previous week. He knew it needed to be ramped up to bust the plateau that had set in...and boy did he ever! 7 cardio
sessions in 7 days - can't ask for more than that!
2. A LITTLE MORE "TIGHTENING" OF THE BELT: What I mean here is that , in the beginning, the weight was coming off fairly well. As JC learned last week, he was going to need to be a bit more strict with his nutrition choices if he wanted to break his plateau. He had ONE beer over the weekend and drank water during the NCAA Basketball Championship with his buddies....I give that dedication an A+ !
3. SUPERMAN IN THE WEIGHT ROOM: JC outperformed this week with his strength training. I really pushed him on Tuesday with a legs routine that he has never done before...Thursday we did only upper body and this guy never stopped.
4. ATTITUDE: Once again, I will tell you that if your focus isn't there, going through the motions will only get you so far. JC made up his mind that this week was not going to get away from him and he would do whatever it took to finish strong.
Can't wait for the next 5 weeks! Make sure to subscribe to the blog so you receive the latest updates-thanks for reading!
