Transformation 2015

Looking at myself in past months, I realised I had put on a lot of weight and I needed to drop fat off my body fast. (Yes even we trainers and fitness enthusiasts are human and we don’t always get it right). I had done a body transformation once before. I needed another - quickly

The Status

Wt: 82 kgs. Waist size 34

Apart from these photos and stats, the problem was much worse.

• I could not focus on a plan or a program to help me in diet or nutrition
• The diet plans I was designing for me was not working well.
• My mental toughness was much lower than before.
• I was not able to stay consistent
• My pullups were at 0.

It wasn’t a body transformation only that I needed it was a fitness lifestyle transformation

My ‘WHY am I doing this?’

I did this because I could not be irresponsible to My God, myself, my family. I was heading for serious trouble and I knew it. I also missed the ability to live strong and healthy, eat responsibly and enjoy my food. The thought of not being able to do things with my family and play with my daughter was just too painful. Also the truth that I looked an absolute mess was horrible.

Setting the Goal

I had been toying with this idea for 4 months. I set my body transformation goal for December 15th, 2015. That is almost always  when the season’s goodies start coming in. I had thought of two dates before this but never made it. Now I was in the last week of October and that’s when I aimed hard for December.

The Transformation Plan

This main plan was The Aggressive Fat Loss Bible

The strength training program was Beginners Bodyweight Bodybuilding.

The plan was a unique one which promised results in a month. I am usually skeptical of such quick transformation plans, however it was from the trainer that helped me breakthrough before and I trust his work.

Action

I started with my body and fitness transformation on 26/10/2015. Though simple, it wasn’t always easy. I was heading straight into winter so some days were really really cold accompanied by extremely heavy rains. Work was erratic. I didn’t always have what I needed to maintain my nutrition. As for staying with training, I did not always feel like doing it. I was sometimes too tired. Also with a toddler at home, the timings and plans didn’t go as planned. What I had planned to finish before 5p.m, sometimes started only at 8:30 p.m.

Oh yes, this time I kept my mouth shut about the transformation. Only my wife knew about it.

Results

One month later I checked my stats again. Here are my results.

WT: 75 kgs. Waist Size 32

However I had more than a body transformation.

• I was stronger, healthier, faster.
• The shape I was looking for had finally started to breakthrough.
• I got my mental toughness edge back.
• I now could stay consistent and discipline and I knew it - I picked a program and followed it.
• I learnt a lot about my body, bodyweight training, mentality and coaching cues.

My transformation wasn’t easy. However, it was doable. My previous transformation took 9 months. This took only one. It led to a new body composition, strength, skill, knowledge and wisdom. The experience of achieving something like this is amazing. Do a fitness body transformation -  it will transform your life.
