9 Months

Change takes time. I'm excited to see how much more I can change and do in the months to come.
This change has taken 9 months.

Guys.

So many hours of work, of tracking, of investment, have gone into this. I'm almost constantly sore. I'm almost always tired or uncomfortable in some way.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but words can tell you more than just what the pictures show.

Nine months ago, I could not do a pushup. I can do ten now before I move to my knees.
Nine months ago, I could not run faster than a 10-minute mile. My easy pace is now sub 9, and my fastest mile time is 7:17.
Nine months ago, the idea of squatting with more than a hundred pounds on my bar seemed impossible. Two days ago, I did 5 sets of 5 with 160 pounds.

Nine months ago, I was 30 pounds heavier, but weaker than I have ever been.
A few weeks ago during a workout, we had to do several rounds with a weighted vest on. The vest was about 25 pounds. I could not believe how much harder everything was... and how I had carried that around with me on a daily basis.

Here's to the next 9 months.
