I had to delete and revamp my whole story. I figured I have a new mentality so I might as well start new. I've always had a battle with the bulge as all would say but this time I was going to make a lifestyle change. It wasn't until I saw some pictures of myself in august of 2011 that really made me do a full 180. I was always in the gym, always active but I never seemed to get the results I was after; so with that picture in hand, I made a commitment to myself to actually do it right. I realized that in order to get the body you desire you must follow three main components. Thats correct eating habits, sufficient sleep, and exercise. I put them in this order based on importance.

Nothing beats banging the weights out, running till you can't run anymore, and leaving the gym knowing you left everything you had there...
