I use to get picked on for being the smallest guy around. I dreamt of professional sport but my size kept me from it. It stripped me of my confidence and will to take what was mine. The moment I picked up that 1st dumbbell was the moment I picked up the reigns and took control of my own life.
Why I Love It:
Its the most honest experience in this world. Whether your having a good day or a bad day at work. Whether you girl is cheating on you or your bank account is empty. 200 pounds stays 200 pounds. The weight never changes. It doesn't care what you look like, it doesn't judge your past or question your future. Either you can lift the weight or you can't. It's black and white. No bull****.
How I Stay Motivated:

I've been called many things in my life. Coward and liar has never been one of them. I pride myself on having a no bull**** honest opinion on life and training. I don't sugar coat ****, cause when you swallow, they both taste the same. In saying all of this I think its I time I give you an...
Well I didn't HAVE to work...I just wanted to be able to pay for everything myself...I applied to get school credits for it too...and I wanted money for college anyways, which I ended up not needing cuz I got a scholarship. My degree was as far as I ever wanted to go though. Haha, no I could've never made it pro in tennis...my doubles partner and I did really well, but we didn't take it seriously at all. Did you end up going to college right after high school or what?
See, we don't really have rugby here...I guess our equivalent is football...and I don't mean soccer LOL We don't have school blazers either...we have letterman jackets. You ended up with a cheerleader...I'm sorry LOL No, I rarely play tennis anymore...takes someone to play with...kinda a sore spot anyways cuz I quit my senior year so I could work...never have really gone back to it. Do you play anymore?
LOL No, I definitely wasn't a cheerleader...the cheerleaders at my school were not well-liked...I played tennis. But I was designer type...couldn't help it cuz my mom was best dressed when she was in high school LOL I was a nerd too though...got really good grades.
LOL about the self-esteem issue...don't think I've ever had one of those :) Omg, can't believe you went to an all-boys school...don't know anyone who's done that. How'd you ever meet girls? I scare you...why? LOL
I'm surprised you've never heard of Homecoming...it's in October soon after school has started and there's a home football game and a dance and everything. Yeah, well my parents should have been even more strict with me. A social hobbit? LOL! All you would've had to do was sit at my table at lunch :)
Very funny :) No, I wasn't prom queen...my parent's wouldn't even let me go to prom :( LOL But I was a Homecoming princess too...not sure if you guys have that there. Awww, you got picked on a lot? :( I probably could've made you cool :) LOL
Awww, you just broke an icicle off my heart when you brought up Valentine's Day...I think that's actually my favorite holiday LOL I was even a Valentine's Day princess in high school :) My weekend's been fine...gonna jump rope tonight for fun...as of this morning, I have a half pound left to loose before Thanksgiving...then I can go back to eating more calories!
That's too bad about your friend :( Well I actually did just post two blogs...my workout plan and my nutrition plan...those outta tell you a little more about myself ;) I can't write blogs...then I'd have to expose my iron heart...it'd be like giving someone a hug or telling them I loved them LOL
THanks for the comment man. I hope i can make it to nationals man! Putting in work right now to come with the right package. When is your first show? That profile crab shot looks crazy man!
it is def the thought that counts. i assumed u were american just living abroad :) my bad. so no turkey day for u??? bummer...pumpkin pie, stuffing, sweet potatoe pie...the whole 9 yds!! that's what f's up the mind/body thing...my head says no, my heart says eff the head, eat, eat, eat!! haha :)
I need to update my pics! Thanks on the abs comments...yep...lots to do with diet...I tend to thin out when I cut my carbs down and add more cardio along with my ab circuit. Its always a combo...just finding the right one! :)
Haha, Thanksgiving's not until next Thursday :) Yeah, what you said didn't come out right at all. Just so you know, I won't tolerate being spoken to like that...there's plenty of other girls who wouldn't mind though. And most importantly, I do not wear "PJs" to bed...especially not Powerpuff ones. Anyways, you doing anything good this weekend?
def not ripped that much, but thank you...i had to curb my cravings for 2 whole freakin weeks after the show to do this shoot so i def could've been more ripped, but i like the look...a lil less "badass" :) so i know ur ahead of us a bit with the time, but ur not a freakin week ahead...thanksgiving isn't til next thurs :)
