I started working out when I was 14 but it was always on again/off again...mostly off. I was slightly overweight and vegetarian when I began a physically demanding job in 2010 and started eating meat again. Lost 40lbs in 3 months from the job and the change in diet. I realized how plastic a body could be and you could mold and shape it to however you wanted and I wanted to shape it into a physically fit body. Every since I've been obsessed or possessed...however you'd prefer.

Energy, focus, increased cognition, overall health, strength building, increased metabolism, not too mention it looks good!
