Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle: Update 7-31-2010

Things continue to progress well.

The reason why many of us fail to reach our fitness goals, is because of the habitual thoughts and actions that we take. Some of these thoughts have been working on us for many years and we may not even know that they are there.

Here is a personal example:

I was looking in the mirror and the thought entered my mind, “Be careful, you don’t want to get too skinny.” I caught this thought that was rattling around in my head.

Now just some quick background, I have gotten to where I am right now in my fitness level but this has always been the point at which I would start to slide back into old habits and the waist line would start to expand again.

But this time I caught the thought that was constantly holding me back from getting to where I wanted to go in this area.

The thought that I caught was “Be careful, you don’t want to get too skinny.” and this thought was formed in my mind when I was 8 – 10 years old. At that age, I was constantly teased about being skinny, and I hated it. From that point till the day I caught that thought, I am convinced that I would have continued my yo-yo fitness level and would have probably ended up with some serious health issues when I got older.

But…

After catching that hidden thought that was rattling around in my head for 33 years, I am more motivated then ever to reach my fitness goal and to stay there until the good Lord calls me home.

I would not have caught that thought without the help of Lee Milteer’s Habit Busting System. I am currently using this system to help me replace limiting thought and action habits that are holding me back from the goals I seek. I know that it can work for you as well, make sure to check it out!

Prior to this week I has wearing a size 38 belt that was pulled to the last hole, I am proud to say that I had to buy a size 36 belt and I am already two holes into the belt.

I also put on a pair of pants that are size 34, they were a little snug but I could where them without feeling like I was going to pop.

I am currently at 18.6% body fat and that is down from 29% which is where I was when I started, I have about 8.6% to go and I have reached my goal. I am currently working on getting my maintenance diet in place for when I get there. That way I know where I need to be and what to do from there. That is also where I will be working on increasing my muscle mass.

I hope this helps you in your health and fitness goals!

As Always, Here's to Your Health,

John Clark
