My workouts this week went great! Food was excellent and I feel like I've got a ton of energy for the workouts and all the other stuff I do during the week! Despite a small set back last week with the sore traps and some tight muscles around my low back and hips today, I feel like I'm making some great progress. An important thing to remember is that not every workout can be fantastic, so as week 3 winds up, I'm feeling strong and happy with what we've done.
The most exciting thing to happen this week came from one of my favourite clients. This guy shows up at the gym 2-3 times a week ready to do whatever I tell him to, and do it hard! He's sarcastic and swears at me a lot, but he gets the job done. He sweats buckets, works till he wants to puke and on certain special days, he even bleeds a bit. To some people this sounds like overkill. Not to this guy...he's got a goal. To lose 100 pounds. The amazing thing? He's only got 16 left to go!
When he first went to see the fantastic staff at Celebration Medical Weight Management he had blood tests done. Some of his numbers were bad! He was told that his insulin levels were some of the worst they had ever seen. Liver enzymes? Not pretty. He wasn't sitting on the fence for diabetes and other health problems.....in his own words, he was "riding a motorcycle full speed at that fence".
The great news is that he had these same tests redone this week and all of his numbers are at a normal healthy level!! Not just slightly decreased....normal and healthy! Plus he'd lost 6 more pounds since his last weigh in!
This guy is going to achieve his goals and then some. Why? Because he wants to, has to, needs to. It's easy to say you've set a goal for yourself, what are you doing about it today? Tomorrow? Next week? Weight loss doesn't happen easily or quickly, it takes hard work and dedication. I couldn't be more happy for, and proud of this guy!
We come into contact with a lot of fantastic people at Catalyst, and it's people like this that make this job fun!
Keep up the great work!
