How to Win THE Race.

THE Race <===> Your fitness journey <===> Your life journey.

"Slow and steady" wins it. . . isn't that what we learned from The Tortoise and The Hare?

I appreciate your stance as it pertains to your training progress.  You want results, and you want them as efficiently as possible.  That's great!  I want you to reach your goals efficiently (and safely and quickly) too!

But efficient doesn't necessarily mean tomorrow,

or next week,

or next month,

or even six months from now -- especially if your physical journey is starting from a place of significant disadvantage.

Maybe you're a recovering from a serious injury. . . or 15 years of anorexia. . . or 7 years of steadily increasing obesity. . . or 20 years of mental self-abuse where you've struggled to see yourself for the amazing person you are.

And recovering the "you" that you really want to see is going to take hard work and time, simply because years of damage inflicted on the body can't be completely rehabilitated overnight.

The way to get through - and win - this race? 

• Learn the principles required for change and make an honest, diligent effort at applying them.
• Develop patience.  Develop fortitude.  Develop trust in the process.  Understand that if you're applying a sound plan, positive changes are consistently unfolding -- many are just at the microscale level and not readily visible or easily felt.
• Learn to hear your body and adjust your training and nutrition according to your specific needs. 
• Most importantly, give the plan time to work.  It will work, if you just give it time.
