My Personal Weight Loss Journey

KNOWING what to do and actually DOING it are two very different things!

As a gym owner I've gotten to help 100's of people hit their weight loss goals.

Yet I myself was really struggling about a few years ago!

We had A LOT going on, and the stress and the overwhelming workload was getting to me.

I told myself that MY goals revolved around martial arts, not weight loss -- in fact, that it HELPED me to be a bigger guy (even though it was fat, not muscle).

However, the more I delved into "body transformation" coaching the more I could feel the cognitive dissonance weighing heavier on me.

And time flies!

I believe that a leader should ALWAYS "Lead From The Front", yet I was starting to define my life very differently... and NOT as a leader!

So I finally humbled myself, re-evaluated my priorities, and got myself MY OWN Body Transformation Coach.

He hasn't taught me anything new...

Instead, he's given me the ACCOUNTABILITY I need,

He's given me the CLARITY I need,

He's given me the personal GUIDANCE I need,

And he's given me the INSPIRATION I need.

(Sometimes he gives me the kick in the butt I need as well)

I hadn't planned on sharing this photo today, but my wife is updating the website for our own "body transformation" coaching program (1-N-Done Weight Loss) and she needed my progress pics.

When I put them together I felt proud and wanted to share.
