Gents, I thought I would share an honest snapshot of where I am at. On the left are my measurements from September last year. On the right are my numbers from today. In four months I have dropped just over 11 kilograms and brought several of the worst health markers back in the right direction. That is real progress. But if I am being blunt, it is not yet the standard I expect of myself. I have spent a lifetime in uniform knowing that momentum wins battles and complacency loses them. This next phase is about sharpening the blade, not admiring the grindstone. My intent is simple. I am going hard for the next 30 days, locking in discipline around training, nutrition and recovery, then posting the results back here to keep myself accountable. As General George S. Patton once said, “Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.” Time to earn it.
