Not seeing results like you'd hoped? Then what are you SAYING to yourself? Most likely there are leaks in your inner conversations that are are leaking your results. If you're saying things like, "I worked out so I can eat ___" or “I’ll start tomorrow” or you’ve only been hitting three workouts instead of four, then your little voice is sabotaging you.
