This was very hard to post just because I can’t believe I even let myself get so out of shape, but for your reading enjoyment: My “Transformation Tuesday”
The picture to left is from the summer of 2013. (Excuse the DBZ Scouter, I’m a nerd and my power level was definitely not over 9000). I was eating whatever I wanted in massive portions, I wasn’t working out, and I struggled with internal insecurities and problems which clouded my judgement on pretty much everything. I wasn’t happy with the way I looked and I wasn’t happy with the way I felt. I wanted to get into shape, but I had no drive. This picture was taken right before the brink of my fitness journey.
Flash forward to the picture to the right, which was taken last week. The most drastic progress I have made occurred in the past 3-4 months of this 3 year process. Before that it wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t easy. I had ups and downs, weight loss and weight gain, I would feel motivated and focused and then I’d let life get in the way and I would give in to excuses. I’ve completed goruck challenges and Spartan races all throughout this process but I think this year I can finally go in and preform…not just survive. I found my motivation; my “no excuses” moment. I was finally sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I worked out everyday, I planned my meals and stuck to a meal plan, and had a nutrient filled shake after every workout and this is the result. Hard work, focus, and dedication gave me these results. It doesn’t matter what works for you - what matters is that it works.
I still have a long way to go. I don’t have the flat abs I want yet, I don’t have the smooth defined legs I want yet, but damn do I feel stronger and closer than ever to these goals. I’ve finally hit my point of no return and I’m never going back.
Stay tuned for more goal crushing.
