Patience

You are probably feeling frustrated, and thinking this is not gonna work. You may have even said it is not working so forget this. Trust me, I have been there and said that too. But listen to me, results do not just happen. You will not see changes immediately. It takes time.  I understand this may be deceiving to you as it may not be what you expected hear. But before you think about quitting... listen and rethink again.

 It is said that it takes one about 3 weeks to develop a regular routine. It is also said it will take an additional 3 weeks for one to notice an actual change.  However, you will realize an increase in you mood, more energy, and even better sleep. It will just take more time to see the changes in your body. Just be patient. It will happen if you are willing to continue to workout and eat right.

I recommend to take a before picture of your self (if you have not already), so you can see your changes over time. For me, I find it amazing to be able to compare myself from then to now. I feel it gives me more motivation. It also shows me that with dedication and patience I am willing to make a difference in my well-being. 

Stay focused and be patient. You will happy with what you see.
