Am I wimpy and weak?

Hired Accountability +  Lack of self-discipline =  Coaching

Coaching is basically hiring someone to hold you accountable....

does that make me wimpy and weak?

For the month of September I did a 30 day challenge called

Shred That Body. 

I went into it to be held accountable. That was my expectation. It's pretty sad to admit that I paid someone to make me do what I already knew to do. However, my expectations were exceeded. What I learned was that I didn't already know what to do. It is more than accountability and self-discipline.  It is support and education.

My "Ah Ha's" are the following.

1. Go HEAVY or go HOME. To get muscle and shape your body, you have to lift heavy weights. I had no idea that it was better to lift fewer reps at a heavier weight. 

2. EAT EAT EAT. The basic equation of calories in (+) and calories out (-) don't equate for the human body. I have lost the game of burn more and eat less in the past. On Shred That Body, I lost weight and fat by eating more than ever. The difference was I was eating the "High Octane Fuel / Food" which made my engine/body run more efficiently. 

(It helped that my coach saw what I was eating daily and giving me feedback)

And the best "Ah Ha".....

3. We are suppose to get and give help from and to others. 

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" Proverbs 27:17

Before        and        After

Before        and        After

 The tummy fat is less.
Pretty good for 30 days.
