Exactly! You could have said that you can only hold your planks 20 seconds and it would have been great since you started at 7! You are aiming to hold it for 2 mins in the near future; kudos for setting the goal and continuing to better yourself on a weekly basis.
In terms of the changes in your body appearance, don't worry. They are there; you just aren't fully seeing them. They will eventually show up and you will be amazed by the progress you've made. At that point, you will be at a crossroad where you may be inclined to sit back on your results and ''cheat'' or push yourself harder and get to that next level. The ''cheating'' aspect typically happens when you see those results and know that it's possible to achieve them so you will reward yourself with food, rest, alcohol or all of the above. One cheat day turns into 2, and eventually your routine stars to slip. The appearance is still there so you don't take notice but eventually, you will be mad at yourself. Always keep in mind that YOU are in control and YOU can generate these results or lack of them. As long as you keep setting your priorities and sticking to them, you will be amazed at what you've done!
Congrats SM! Keep it up buddy!
