Day 20 observations- Tom's early results
I can't believe I'm only 4 days away from the end of this challenge. Some days are harder than others for sure - but for the most part it hasn't been nearly as bad as I had thought it might be. I will give my full synopsis of the challenge in a few days but today I wanted to tell you about my other half's success. Tom, although he really did not have much to lose, opted to try the challenge for two reasons. 1.) he had lost his drinking and eating buddy so in his words, "if you can't beat 'um, join um.) and 2.) he wanted first hand experience with the products so that he could truly say if they were all that we heard they were cracked up to be. And although I am not allowed to show his before and after pictures (groan...), he did say I could share his results. So - after 14 days he has lost 7.6 pounds and 10.5 inches over his whole body. He lost 2 inches in his waist and 2 inches in his hips. What's also interesting is he gained an inch in his shoulders. He attributes this to getting better results lifting weights and has seen improvement in the tone and muscle mass in his arms. In addition, he ran a mile faster than he has since college as part of a recent training run to test his conditioning (@4:48). While Tom still feels he needs more time to evaluate the program, he has told me that he doesn't want to stop taking any of his new supplements because he thinks he'll see greater results in the weeks/months to come (i.e., this is not a short-term solution). Now granted - during this challenge we both continued to work out doing a combination of cardio and strength training so it is very possible that someone who did not do this might not get the results we did. But, for someone who is exercising and not seeing the results they feel they should - this program is a game changer. We both plan on using some of our favorite products after the challenge (vitamins, spark drink, catalyst, and some of the shakes) and I really do feel that I will not gain the weight back but instead I will continue to see improvements in my energy level, my muscle strength, my weight and my overall health. I hope I am right!
I can't believe your Day 23 is Friday... Time sure does fly. I hope you enjoy your free day on Saturday! If you are like me, it felt weird to cheat. I did drink a beer and it was good. :)
