When my parents divorced in '06 I needed a place to get away. So I spent about 3 hours a day at the local YMCA working out. Then in '07 one of my best friends started taking me to the gym with him (he's an ex-football player.) Now I'm doing it for myself and on my own.
Why I Love It:
I get so much more done on a day that I work out. I'm more focused and energetic. Plus I love the feeling I get when I look in the mirror post-work out and see sweat running off my face.
How I Stay Motivated:
I make it a habit. And I make it a priority to get myself stoked about how well I'm doing.
BB Accomplishments:
I've dropped down from my middle school weight of 198 lbs.
142 lbs. I was ecstatic that the shorts were baggy. I can't wait to see my C5 ending picture on December 31st!
138 lbs. You can actually see where the clothes are baggy now, especially around the waist. I've dropped a pant size and hit my lowest ever adult weight.
So, after the withdrawal period, I was healthy as a horse about a week. I was experimenting with veganism (been vegetarian since Februrary) and working out every day. Even got my endurance so I high that I walked to the bookstore 2.3 miles away, and back, in the middle of the day. My tolerance...
