The Scale Isn't The Tell All | Ask Erik

Don't judge the progress you've made solely on what the scale says.

Erik recommends looking at other ways to measure your progress and changes you've made:

1. Eating healthier
2. Cutting back on your portions
3. Counting your macros
4. Taking up strength training, jogging, walking, etc.
5. Hanging out with more positive people

Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip | Proof That Hard Work Pays Off

Put in the Work
 

For the months leading up to the end of 2015, I want to start highlighting a few of my clients who have made some noteworthy transformations. These clients deserve recognition for making the commitment to be better and then sticking with the plan until they achieved their goals.

Meet Jay De Leon, the perfect person to exemplify this simple message: if you do the work, you will get results. This past April, Jay weighed in at 240 lb., today he is down to 207 lb.. Besides fitting into a smaller pant size, Jay is both stronger and healthier. 

So what exactly did he do to get amazing results? 

  • He has a great attitude.
  • He practices portion control.
  • He is 100% compliant with the fitness and nutrition plan I designed for him. 
  • He is mentally tough. 

Whether he is lifting weights, running or pushing the sled, he is putting in the work each and every day. Jay’s goal was to be under 200 lbs by the end of the year. At this rate, he will reach that goal much sooner. Jay didn’t have a magic button to press, pill to pop, or a wand to twirl. He worked his tail off to get results. I am so proud of you Jay! You did it!
