I&#8217;d like to say that I&#8217;ve been working out regularly, but in truth, it&#8217;s been a bit sporadic. I&#8217;d like to say I&#8217;m losing fat, but I haven&#8217;t been.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_248\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-248 \" title=\"dead-end\" src=\"http:\/\/anastasiacheetham.ca\/experiment-of-one\/wp-content\/uploads\/dead-end.jpg\" alt=\"yellow dead-end sign on a dirt road\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr: bennylin0724<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling frustrated lately with the lack of any kind of progress \u2013 or even satisfaction \u2013 with my exercise\/nutrition\/health efforts. I think I&#8217;m starting to get a bit stronger in the gym, but that&#8217;s about it. I&#8217;m not losing fat (in fact, I might be gaining), and that&#8217;s been one of my main goals. I feel like I&#8217;m stagnating \u2013 like I need something to jump-start things somehow.<\/p>\n<p>So: I&#8217;ve signed up for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precisionnutrition.com\/products\/system\" target=\"_blank\">Precision Nutrition System<\/a>. Yeah, I know: it sounds corny, and I don&#8217;t much like the super-friendly sales-pitch-y tone of some of the pages on the site (a bit too much like a used car salesman). But: Krista Scott-Dixon (of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumptuous.com\/\">stumptuous.com<\/a>) is one of their coaches. I&#8217;ve been following her for long enough to believe that she wouldn&#8217;t get involved with Precision Nutrition if what they were offering wasn&#8217;t legitimate and valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, they have a 45-day money back guarantee which I&#8217;m not afraid to avail myself of. That&#8217;s a decent chunk of time. If I give the program an honest try and I don&#8217;t lose at least a few pounds of fat in that time, then I&#8217;ll get my money back. And if I don&#8217;t give it an honest try in that time, I&#8217;ll get my money back. If I do try and I do succeed, then I&#8217;ll consider it well worth the money.<\/p>\n<p>The deal-closer?
