The Hardest Part Was Not the Diet

This last week I wrapped up a cut that took me from over 206 pounds down to 168.7 pounds. (242 lbs in July ) ( 259 lbs at my highest )


Looking back, the hardest part was not the low carbs, the cardio, or even the hunger.

The hardest part was showing up on the days I had zero motivation.

What got me through was trusting the process and trusting my coach.

There were times I wanted to make changes, add more cardio, cut more food, or second guess the plan. My coach kept reminding me to stay the course and focus on consistency rather than emotions.

There were weeks where my energy was gone. Weeks where I felt like all I could see was loose skin instead of progress. Weeks where I questioned whether all the work was worth it.

But I learned something along the way:

Motivation comes and goes. Discipline stays.

The people who succeed are not the people who never struggle. They are the people who keep going anyway.

I am grateful for a coach who believed in me when I was struggling and helped me push through the tough weeks. Having someone in your corner who can see the bigger picture makes a huge difference.

Now the cut is over and the reverse diet begins. Time to recover, grow, and build some muscle.

For anyone in the middle of a long fat loss phase, trust the process. One day you will look back and realize the small daily choices changed your life.

To anyone currently grinding through a long cut, keep going. You are capable of more than you think.

Down 91 pounds. Onward and upward.

Let’s Go!!!

Damn bro! That is some serious weight loss and comp! HOOYAH BRO... Welcome to the Ketchup crew
 
Quick update

One month into my first real bulk with the help of a great coach. Really happy with the progress so far and how things are starting to come together.

Making a few changes going forward. Upping Test to 500 mg, dropping NPP, and keeping Mast at 200 mg.

Still plenty of work to do, but I am super happy with the results after the first month. Excited to see where the next few months take me.

Quick update!

Today marks one year with Coach and 14 weeks into this bulk. Super happy with the progress! A lot of early mornings, meals, and trusting the process have gone into this past year, and it feels good seeing the work pay off.

Already committed to another year with Coach. More muscle to build and defined abs on the goal list!

Congrats on the year, and recomping at the same weight is a great result. Shows what consistency does. Keep it up!
