Results

Results are hard to get if you're constantly off track or always placed in situations where it's taking away from progress. Luckily I've been on track for almost an entire month and have only messed up twice so far. I feel better and I don't have any sugar cravings too often anymore. However I'm altering my plan to give myself one cheat day per month to help keep things going.
My only problem is that I'm not seeing very many results. Maybe it's too early, but I'm not seeing huge changes yet. I understand it takes a lot of time to reach a goal but for me it seems like it's taking me forever to get to my first goal.
Yes, patience is key but I'm starting to wonder if there is something I'm doing that's holding me back. Am I not meeting the proper macros that my body requires? Am I lifting heavy enough? Doing enough cardio? There are so many factors to consider and I've been considering changing up the way I do things. Part of me wants to and part of me wants to just wait and see what will happen if I just keep doing what I'm doing and hoping for the best.
So far the changes I have seen have been more definition and slight tone. I try and hit each muscle group every week but sometimes it's hard to work every single angle and muscle.
A great way I've found to keep track of progress is not by the scale, but by measurements (if you took them initially) and progress pictures. Taking pictures monthly or even weekly will really help you see yourself in a different light and checking to make sure that your body is really constantly growing and changing.
A good way to avoid a plateau and continuous progress is to change up workouts like I've mentioned before. It will not only keep things interesting but the muscle confusion will really help tone and shape your muscle fibers. (336)
