Day 22.
I've made it 22 days, and I have to admit that I don't visually see any differences. Without visual changes, motivation is hard to find. Changes fuel training. My coach and my research have told me that I need to trust the process.
According to what I've read, it will take 3 weeks before my metabolism kicks in to high gear. And it will take me 5 weeks of training to see visual differences. I honestly never expected it to take this long. When I thought that I'd be eating a restricted diet, training 5-6 days a week and drinking crazy amounts of water, I anticipated that changes would come quickly. Boy, was I off base!
I weigh the same amount, and my measurements are pretty much the same. However, I am MUCH stronger than I was when I began this journey. In the gym tonight, I had an ah-ha moment. I was on the captain's chair working my abs. In times past, my arms would get tired from holding up my weight. Tonight, I lifted myself with ease and was able to completely work my abs. I was stoked!
So, despite the lack of anticipated visual changes, I can feel the changes happening! I'm trusting the process and committing myself to the journey!
