Mirror Countdown Motivation
Share
Shaan tells a story about using a visual countdown on his mirror to track his fitness transformation goals.
"I wrote a number on the mirror - 53. My trainer asked '53 what? 53 pushups?' I said '53 days left.' I had this realization I'm 8 weeks away from having the body I want, that's 56 days.
I told him I'm just keeping track right now. I'll just keep changing this number every day that I eat exactly the way I want - this number goes down. If I don't, we go back to the beginning. I haven't slipped yet so I haven't had to think about what happens if I mess up.
I'm basically the same weight I was at the start - around 220, and I'm currently like 229-230. The composition changed a bit. I'm 8 weeks away from everything I want, so I'm just tracking the countdown each day."
