Welcome to the forum, Kaleb. And, I wish you the best with your new journal, and fitness goals.

Never look through "stained glass windows".
Keep your vision clear, your enemy near, your assets in gear, and your goal will appear.​

(Chillen)

And, I want to leave a comment about diet (and other things), for a moment, and break a part the above quote in blue.

1. Never look through "Stained Glass Windows"

Keep your vision reference diet and training clear, do not allow a mental block to cloud up what you see. Understand that through diet, there are many ways (even particular to you) to skin this goal you intensely want and desire.

When traditional dieting isn't working, and you seemingly have tried everything, remember, SOMETIMES.........> it is not about the almighty calorie. Yes, you read that correctly from me.

SOMETIMES, its about the almighty calorie AND "manipulating" the almighty and powerful macro nutrients, to solicit the goal you want at some troublesome times and places in your goal (dependent on what this is).

2. "Your Enemy Near"

The body you walk in is both your friend and your adversary. In order to beat an adversary (enemy), you have to draw it close, you have to know its motives, intent, and its tendencies, in order to improve the odds on conquering it. Meaning that sometimes the body is on par with your fitness goals (your friend), and sometimes (as you will learn) its not (your enemy), and you have to adapt and overcome. And, you do this by simply knowing your enemy. In this, you will learn how to effectively deal with it.

Which brings the next one

3. "Your assets in Gear"

Your major assets to improve your (friend) and conquer your (enemy) is: EDUCATION.

Educate yourself on diet and fitness with all that you are, with all that you want to be, and want to become. Most importantly, learn how to properly apply them. I can not state this enough, young man. It is seriously this important. One can win or lose a goal on this alone. Do not forget it.

4. "Your goal will appear"

Your goal will appear, with your assets in gear, your vision clear, and your enemy near.


I wish you the absolute best in what you are trying to do.

ROCK-ON! :)

Best wishes to your continued success,

Chillen
