Slow progression day by day will get you what you want.

So Im frustrated.

After putting on 8kgs in 6 months (went through a form of grief which really impacted me, although didn't post about it), Im into losing it again.

And boy it's even harder than ever.

Have the gym set up in the basement, have loads of equipment (except the aircon unit dammit) and going almost everyday.

But I'm frustrated because I've not lost that 8kg in the first 14 days goddammit.

Now, intellectually, I KNOW I'm not going to get there overnight.

But I still want those results.

My diet hasn't improved much (6 year wedding anniversary is 'sweets', so that probably didn;t help ... nor the donuts ... or the pizza .. you get the idea)

But strength wise, I'm getting strong again.

Chin up numbers are increasing every session.

I'm heading towards where I was back in September of last year when I was probably the strongest I ever was (although not the slimmest or fittest)

And I hate running, or anything else that involves doing the same thing for 20 minutes in a straight line.

But I know, little by little, those little fat cells aren't looking forward to whats coming.

In the next 2 to 3 years, they'll have disapeared hopefully never to be seen again.

But it takes time. And thats what I'm frustrated with.

And thats the same in Business, relationships, health, cashflow - EVERYTHING

Nothing happens overnight.

And if it does it doesn't last long.

You (and I!) have to put the work in.

You need the strong foundations.

Thats why lottery winners are poor again 5 years later - they just got the result without the lessons along the way.

So that's (apparently) what I'm learning.

I'm learning that to get the results, you have to put the work in (I already knew this from property and business), but for some reason I haven't learned this lesson yet in my health.

So ...

It's the same story whatever you're striving for in life.
