Today is the 4 month mark and that means more results for you to feast your eyes upon. The first two months with Workshop saw incredible numbers in the inches department, and then October came around with results that were pretty good-- but not as spectacular as the first two months.
The success was still there for me, though. It’s hard to get upset when you lose 9.5 inches off your body in a month (amount lost in October). November has been a different story with inches and weight loss. I think I have some explaining to do.
Neck: No Change
Chest : Down .25 inches
Arms: Down 1 inch
Waist: Down 1.75 inches
Belly Button: Down 2 inches
Hip: Down 1.5 inches
Thigh: Down .25 inches
Calf: No change
Weight Loss: 13 pounds
Total Inches Lost: 48.5 inches
Total Pounds Lost: 67
OK.
Breathe, Ricky, just breathe a little…I understand I still lost weight and inches, but for the numbers to keep shrinking is really hard to see. I can’t blame the trainers; I can only blame myself.
In the past couple of weeks I have been enjoying a little too much. For both my trip to Fort Worth and my Westwood reunion weekend in Austin, I drank way more than the allotment given to me by Thomas and my other trainers. I have also had 1 to 2 more cheat meals more than I normally do (I usually have about one a week). With the workouts getting more intense, I decided to slow down the cardio I do outside of the gym, which could have also slowed my progress down. A lot of factors went into results that I personally feel are lackluster.
Even though I feel like the numbers are not what I want to see right now, I know what I need to do to see them get better. I need to shore up on the diet, not drink as much when I go out and pick up the workouts from home. This is a great month to test out how bad I really want this change with all the temptation around me…Can I fight the urge to find the easy way out? I know it won’t be easy but nothing so far has been easy.
When I talk to people about my weight loss, a topic that comes up a lot is hitting a “plateau”. This comes with the usual words of encouragement of "fight through it," and "it'll be OK."
My usual response is that I will be able to handle it. Now that the hour draws near, I am feeling more and more desire to escape the clutches of this so called “plateau,” but it just seems inevitable. I will have to come to grips with the idea that, at some point, I won’t lose as much weight or inches off my body. Thanks, guys, for checking out the update, and be sure to listen to Dudley and Bob tomorrow as we discuss the results on the show.

I wouldn't say that 13 pounds and 6.75 inches is anything to complain about. It is less than before, but that's still a significant amount of weight and inches. Not to be cliche (okay, maybe just a little cliche haha) but weight loss isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. You're still losing overall, so that's a positive. But, good for you for reflecting on what you can do to continue with the type of progress you are looking for.
