Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I have been working out (not as much as I planned, need to ramp that up) and was also away in Cuba for a little relaxation, recovery and stress release. I’m catching up on the blogs I read on a regular basis and came across this great article by Alwyn Cosgrove.
Q: This weekend I got on a scale at a friend’s house (I don’t own one) and much to my disappointment, the numbers haven’t budged all that much since my last weigh in several months ago. Now, my clothes fit better, I’m in better shape than I’ve perhaps EVER been in, I know muscle weighs more than fat, I look GREAT, etc…but those numbers scream overweight to me. They make me feel like I’ve made no progress at all
A: First off - your clothes “fit better”, you’re “in better shape than you’ve ever been in” and you “look GREAT”… but you’re disappointed solely because the bathroom scale didn’t go down “All that much”
Here’s something we tell clients (thanks to Chris Shugart for the inspiration):
If we had a magic fat loss machine — that you stepped in and pushed a button and you came out looking EXACTLY how you’ve always dreamed of looking and feeling - the exact dress or pant size you wanted, with the definition and muscle tone you want, at the bodyfat percentage you want - you can see your abs (if that’s what you want) etc etc.
Would you be interested? Of course you would!!!
