00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:10.717
Cold plunge thoughts. So about four months after going to the personal trainer,

00:00:10.957 --> 00:00:13.917
I was like starting to feel something.

00:00:15.137 --> 00:00:20.277
And what I was feeling was a love for my body.

00:00:21.257 --> 00:00:27.357
And it was really interesting because I didn't really think that I didn't love

00:00:27.357 --> 00:00:34.817
my body before then. But I noticed that I did start to not love my body many

00:00:34.817 --> 00:00:36.017
years ago upon reflection.

00:00:36.697 --> 00:00:44.397
And so I decided that one of the most important things for me to do was to love my body.

00:00:44.537 --> 00:00:48.617
And so I started just focusing and thinking about that.

00:00:49.697 --> 00:00:55.817
And the workouts didn't really matter. What I was eating didn't really matter. matter.

00:00:56.097 --> 00:01:00.517
What mattered is that I just decided that I needed to love my body.

00:01:00.937 --> 00:01:07.697
And that's really kind of weird for a guy to say. And it felt weird to say it.

00:01:08.397 --> 00:01:15.017
But what I realized is that by loving my body, I would start treating my body differently.

00:01:15.757 --> 00:01:19.117
Or at least that's what I thought. And so for two more months,

00:01:19.297 --> 00:01:22.417
I just focused on loving my body.

00:01:22.697 --> 00:01:27.337
No matter what shape it was, no matter what size it was, no matter what was wrong with it.

00:01:27.557 --> 00:01:32.577
And I'd basically just tell myself in the mirror each day, I love my body. This body's great.

00:01:33.477 --> 00:01:43.717
And after a couple months of doing that, my mindset and my desire to change started kicking in.

00:01:44.177 --> 00:01:51.357
And it was about this time that my brother-in-law and sister were losing a bunch

00:01:51.357 --> 00:01:56.437
of weight themselves and we're looking a lot better and feeling better and having

00:01:56.437 --> 00:01:59.677
more energy and so i decided to.

00:02:01.117 --> 00:02:07.477
Decide to make some changes now this was six months of going to a personal trainer

00:02:07.477 --> 00:02:16.497
every week and what i finally got to was i just need to love my body and that

00:02:16.497 --> 00:02:20.637
mindset is where where everything else started.

00:02:21.917 --> 00:02:26.377
So tomorrow I'll share what I did to lose my first 40 pounds.
