54 days until summer – Do my results match my efforts?

The scale was a rollercoaster this week.. which basically matched my emotions. Control what you can, that is what they tell us… simple right? I have definitely let outside forces impact my choices and my focus. I landed about a half pound heavier than last week, but truth be told, that is a gift. The number could have been much higher.

If that were all I was focused on I might consider these last few weeks a bust, but truth is I am getting stronger. I feel it. I can see it. Yes there is that belly bulge, but underneath, there is solid muscle. My legs are stronger, carrying me longer distances with a bit less effort. My arms hold some definition even if not flexing, and I’m not flexing 99.5% of the time. I’m not thinking “ugh bat wings”.

Today I am sitting in an amazing head space. Took some work to get here, some soul searching, some prayer, some intense kickboxing, a lot of swearing and a complete release. I know this is true because I have been tested a few times and the only reaction that surfaced was laughter. Easily, naturally.

So it seems, if I am being honest with myself, which I always am, my results do match my efforts… The next question is – am I content with that?

I guess we will see next week..
