I was always the skinny kid when I was younger and up to this point nothing has changed until now. I lost track of how many times I have begun lifting only to allow poor time management to ruin my progress. I would keep telling myself "once life slows down a little bit then I'll start again" but the problem is that life never slows down in fact its quite the opposite. I would then begin programs that would be too advanced and I would become frustrated and then I would quit. Instead my goal is to crawl before I walk and walk before I run. And along the way I will be disciplining my body by pushing myself every set and every rep. I will discipline my mind by staying committed to my schedule and listening to the advice of others.

The past few years have been exceptionally rough on me and my family. Many times I would find myself oversleeping, overeating, and over drinking. These attempts to cope with stress had nothing but negative consequences on myself and my family. After I recommitted to the Lord (Galatians 2:20) I still needed an outlet to burn off stress and to improve my own self image and worth that I allowed to fall apart. Lifting and working out provides all of those thing, it allows me to do something physical to counteract the sedentary job I have. And of course who doesn't like seeing their body being transformed?
