#174 - When Results Don't Match The Effort


Listen Later

 

You followed the plan. You showed up. You stayed committed.
But the results?  Not what you expected — maybe even the opposite.

In this honest and hope-filled episode, I’m sharing my own story of working toward a 12-week body composition goal… and how I gained 3% body fat and lost 8 lbs of muscle instead. 😣

What do we do when we’re doing everything right… and the results don’t match the effort?

We process the disappointment, celebrate real progress, and keep going in faith.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • Why it’s okay (and necessary) to grieve unmet goals

  • How to process disappointment without quitting

  • What to do when the numbers don’t reflect your growth

  • 4 practical steps to keep moving forward

  • How faith helps you stay rooted when results don’t show up

    🛠️ The 4-Step Process:
    1. Decide how long to feel bad — Set a time limit to honor the emotion without staying stuck in it

    2. Celebrate your wins — Who are you becoming? What habits are sticking?

    3. Use the data — Results may reveal where to tweak, not where to quit

    4. Keep going — Progress is still happening, even when it’s not obvious

      📖 Faith Anchor:

      Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
      👉 Your effort is never wasted in God’s eyes.
