It’s not the thought that counts.

CLICK HERE to sign up for our Winter Formal on February 18th! It’s now $45 per person.  Must register by Friday, February 3rd.

We are in the “lull” of the 90 Day Challenge. People are dropping like flies… donuts and fraps are sneaking back into diets all over the gym. Many of you have already seen all the results you thought you would in three months in just one. This is not ok. Push on… Keep on the straight and narrow.

What if that number on the scale just isn’t moving fast enough? This is a common problem. The first few weeks, the weight was flying off and now… little to no progress. Here’s what is happening; you have evacuated the gluten and other toxins from you body, and the inflammation left with them. Now you have to work hard and eat right… for more than a day or two…

Know that you are feeding your body properly, your muscles are experiencing an amazing rebirth. They are able to work harder and recover faster. This increase in muscle mass is playing with your head when you see the number on the scale. Your body composition is changing, trust me.

Take a 30 day photo, check your progress visually. You will like what you see. Also, don’t forget the more important numbers… your measurements. Check your overall inches lost as well if you need more positive reinforcement. And of course, don’t forget the MOST important numbers… your performance at the gym.

You are all amazing people and inspirations to those around you. Your friends at the gym and outside of it too. Your family and co-workers. You are an influencer. Do not let those down who are more fit thanks to you. You never know who’s life you are improving by setting the right example.

Two more months to go, but don’t think like that. This is a change you can keep for a lifetime. You can be healthier for the rest of your life. You can show your children by example. You can still play your favorite sports for decades more. You are fit, and you are strong. Smile…for you are Better than Yesterday!
