5 months.

No shortcuts. No magic program. No perfect timing.

Just two guiding principles: consistency and intensity.

Consistency is the behind the scenes stuff:

• Hitting nutrition targets even when I didn’t feel like it
• Keeping food quality high
• Getting cardio done (2x per week)
• Getting steps in (minimum 10k per day)
• Sleeping enough to recover
• Stacking good days together

Intensity was reserved for training.

Because showing up is important. But showing up with intent is what results in change.

• Every workout had a purpose.
• Every set was pushed with focus.
• No coasting. No “good enough” reps.

A lot can change in 5 months when you stop relying on motivation and start relying on standards.

Still plenty of work to do, but proud of the progress so far.
