I've always been one to get frustrated when I don't see immediate results, particularly when it's something that I'm putting so much time and effort into...constant exercise, consistent clean eating...where's my six pack?! Achieving an ideal level of fitness or that goal of finally seeing those abs peak through is something that takes A LOT of time and dedication. Even fitness models work hard every. single. day. to achieve and maintain the bodies they have. It's never easy but it's so worth it! Remember, getting and staying fit is a journey and a lifelong investment for your physical and mental wellbeing. Stay positive and stay on track by measuring small goals instead of large ones. I really think it's all about the little victories and creating weekly goals that are realistic and attainable. Strive to do one extra set of an exercise than you did the week before or look to increase the weight on your rep(s) by even a little bit. Even adding 2.5lbs to your squats is improvement and something to be proud of!
Even though it can get frustrating and you may want to give up, keep in mind that slow progress is still progress. If you're discouraged by the amount of time it will take to achieve your goal, just remember that the time will pass anyways.
