When I was 16 I was a wreck, I wasn't confident in myself, I hardly had many friends, I was failing in school and didn't think I had of any value. My dad introduced me to working out at the gym at that age, and it brought me a change of attitude, that even though I didn't have all or everything I wanted. I could still change myself and change who I was.

This has helped me through the years ahead, in January 2011 being recently married, I started to workout again at a starting weight of 270, and have torn my way to where I am today, working out 5+ times a week, following diet plans laid out before me. Blinded at first, I did not know what I was capable of, what limits my body could go, I have yet to see those limits failed to be pushed. I am down to 225, I workout alone, I have no training partner, except myself. Pushing everyday as if each day was my last.

It has not been easy to go to the gym day in to day out, the line of work i'm in is very sedentary. I wake up early in the day go to work, then at night I get home fully exhausted. But the thing about the body is that it doesn't matter if your exhausted or tired, you have to go to the gym your body doesn't care. My body doesn't care what time it is. I am finally figuring this out and am ready to get ripped as hell!

*Update 2019* Going back to what has helped in the past.

The high after an intense workout, knowing I met my goals and setting new ones, their is no other feeling like it!
