Overall Goal: Its official I fell off :( Went though a tough tough couple of months. I am 100% accountable and am turning a new leaf to try to get back to my old self. Thanks for all your support.
Fit Status:
My diet took a plunge these past two weeks... I am getting 100% clean this week and I should be fine.
Growing up I was always involved in sports and an avid athlete. I played volleyball for years and never really appreciated my toned body. Well, when I moved out when I turned 20 and realized really fast how eating cheap and unhealthy will add up and come slap you in the face. I gained 35 pounds!!!! Luckily for me I am tall so It dispersed well but at the end of the day I knew that wasn't me. I ended up coming home for a few months turning off my phone & basically turning off the world. I ordered the P90X program and took off 25 pounds. Granted, I wasn't where a really wanted to be physically but I proved to myself that only I can change my destiny. Thats when I joined Gold Gym and got serious about weight training. The only downside is that it is a lot harder coming off than it was putting on. But I will keep my head up and know that all the hours and research I do... it WILL pay off.
Why I Love It:
I love working out b/c I know that I haven't seen my best yet. I believe that I have so much to look forward to. I hope to one day make a career in the fitness industry. I have witnessed first hand how hard work pays off. Plus, Im putting my god given talents to use. Who doesn't love that?
How I Stay Motivated:
I must admit, it is hard. I work and live in a city that partys hard. All my friends drink and eat horribly, and sometimes I see them eat quesadillas and drink a beer and think they look the same and still do that, how is that possible. But I know that I am not them and I will suffer if I do choose to live that lifestyle. I just take one day at a time I guess. Also, I look at girls in the gym who look great and that kinda inspires me. :)

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you in your career?
Not yet, but I am getting my CPT liscence and will go to school in the fall for sports medicine.
I work at this Mexican Restaurant here in Orlando, which lets say doesn't attract the most brightest or health savvy people. Last week I was working when happy hour was going on and I had a table pull me over, first of all keep in mind they have had three rounds of frozen margaritas. They ask...
You are 24?? Man you look like you are 64, You need to stop the drugs and the drinking you have no business being a bartender you can't handle it.. stop you look like ****. any you are just a baby and you are runing yourself you might just be able to do this but not if you cannot stop the little things a life in the fitness world is a privilage and it is a way of life that you do not deserve right now...I'm sorry
