I feel like this is something we all fall into at one time or another. Everyone wants results FAST! Everywhere you look its' "Build Muscle FAST!" "Lose weight FAST!" I think people have become ignorant of the what you gain from the hard work along the way.

I remember seeing a show once talking about "The curse of the lottery" and how a good majority of people who win the lottery end up having really terrible things happen to them. My best understanding of why this so frequently happens is because they didn't go through the hard work to earn that money. They didn't understand what it meant to get to where they are and all the hard work it would have taken.

I would say the same thing goes for your body. There is no quick fix! Granted,there are things that will make the process move along easier and a BIT faster. But you still have to put in just as much if not MORE hard work to get where you want to be.

I think this is all coming out right now because I'm just starting PCT and suddenly feeling how hard exercising is. No more 2 1/2 hr long workouts that left me wanting more. Now 30 mins in and I'm winded. I'm suddenly remembering what it's like to wake up sore the next morning. But I'm ok with that. I like the challenge. It's that hard work and pushing through day after day when its the toughest that gives you that strength the rest of the day in your normal life.
