I started working out back in the year 2012. I work night shift which is unhealthy, all by itself. But when I'd get off from work I wouldn't have any energy at all. I started having headaches, shortness of breath during lite activities, and uncontrollable sweats throughout the day. I didn't like the way I looked and I knew that I'd have to do something quick.
I got me a gym membership at Planet Fitness and in the beginning I went EVERY DAY. It was like that for over a year and then I started using "free weights". I must have done something wrong after the first time because I felt a pain in my wrist and the pain just got worse and worse; and I was going to the gym less and less. Eventually what wound up happening was I got a Ganglion Cyst also known as a Bible Bump (due to the way they used to cure them) where the pain was.
I eventually stopped going after my surgery to have the cyst removed, in fear that it would return or worsen. I would go sporadically but never seemed to have the same motivation that I once did. Going to school I rarely ever found the time to go to the gym. With school came stress; stress on my work, on my family, my social life, as well as my study habits. I became really unhappy with the way I was feeling. The way I looked really didn't bother as much, no one can tell me how good or bad I look, I'm not out to please anyone else.
Going to school though I met this really cool dude and we became really good friends. I really think of him as my brother, I really do. Going to the gym with my #BFF @GCOOLSNOW ; really motivates me to get back into the gym life. Right now I'm trying to recapture all that I'd lost in the span of that year after the surgery. And he's been a real guru, when it comes to the gym he has me hanging onto every word.
So he has me actually lifting weights and eating healthier (Not as much as he does in either case). Dude is a beast. The Year 2015 wasn't really the best for me and I've been through a lot. I've let it consume me, right now I find myself looking for a way out. I changed some of my practices in how I handle things and that's been motivating to me. I look forward to getting in touch personally with the FitFam and helping motivate them as they motivate me.

I love working out because it's just me. The gym could be crowded with the morning, rush hour, and late night gym rat crews; when I'm in there though, it's just me. My only thought is on the task at hand; not what happened at work, what I have to deal with once I get home, not what I have next on my class syllabus. Total isolation and meditation.
