It's officially been a month now since I began the quest to lose weight, so I decided to weigh myself again, just out of curiosity of how much I lost in a month.
Well, I am 269 now, from 298 (actually closer to 299), so virtually 30 pounds loss in a month.
That's great. I know the first bit will come off fast, but I gained a pound a bit after going hard eating whatever I wanted on Wednesday, went back up from 271 to like 272.8, but clearly I lost close to 4 pounds in just a few days again.
I may have some biological factors like being young, and being male in my favor, but still it is all will power, and self-discipline, which for me stems out of my own self-interest.
I accept the fact that if I want something I have to take the necessary steps to achieve it, I have to work for it. That's what I do, that's what I credit with my success so far, and what I will credit with my future success as well.
As the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair once said:
“Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.”
What helps me a lot is that I can see that I am getting results, that certainly helps me to keep going, because I know that I am not doing this for nothing.
When I was in grade 12, I had to take some gym credit because it was mandatory, so I took the weightlifting class, it was actually easy as pie. All I had to do was walk over last period to the gym at the near by mall, and do my work out, there were virtually no assignments, that's literally almost all it was. Still some students failed, but the only way to fail that class would be to repeatedly not show up and work out. I got results there too, slowly but surely, I went up multiple amounts. At the start I was lifting 20, but by the end I was lifting 60. Oh, and my final grade is 94%.
So the secret to achieving things, is to actually do it. It's not even a secret, it's extremely obvious.
P.S: I know I haven't posted in close to a month, but I did post about needing to lose here, so I thought I'd update here as well.
