So I'm down close to half a pound this week after completing week 14 of the fit2fat2fit program. It may not seem like much, but I'm actually satisfied with it because I progressed and grew stronger AGAIN in all of my muscle groups by either increasing the weight or increasing the amount of reps. Push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, military press, curls and dips, all seeing increase. My speed has also increased in distance and sprint running. Week after week I have been continually dropping weight and increasing in strength. How can I not be happy with that?
I'll say this again and again. My goal is not to reach a certain goal weight. My goal is to reach a certain body fat percentage. When I'm continually dropping weight while I'm increasing my strength it is a clear indication that my body fat percentage is dropping.
I've dieted countless times before when my goal was strictly based on a certain scale weight. I sacrificed a lot of muscle in the process just because I was in a rush to be at a certain weight. Yes weight would drop quickly, but with the wrong diet and exercise program I found myself losing a lot of strength and endurance because I was losing a lot of muscle along with the fat. So after I would reach a certain scale weight I would then have to train differently to put on the muscle that I lost. So why not just be healthy and happy and do it right the first time. I'm learning to be patient and trust the process.
I'll also say this again and again... there is no way I could do this without God's grace. He continues to give me supernatural discipline, strength, will power and wisdom and its producing supernatural results. To God be all of the glory. It's Christ in me, living through me. Yay God.
