THE MIRROR LIES

  • We make excuses for ourselves
  • It is also hard to see really what you look like from just a glance in the mirror
  • Vinnie would only see himself pecks up, didn’t realize when he was in his 20s that he had a gut
  • Conversely, the mirror can also make some people look fatter than they really are
    • Depends on how you see yourself; very subjective
  • Aaron started walking a lot to try to drop the weight
  • He ended up cycling a lot
    • Gets in his Zone 2 pretty quickly
  • Aaron plateaued for awhile, but once he could increase his workouts, he started putting on more muscle mass
    • He has to be really careful when putting on muscle mass to not put on fat
  • He still has a ways to go, but every day is forward progress
    • Aaron thinks of weight loss/staying in shape as a ‘game’
      • That is his motivation
