So a year has gone by for me that including weekly meal prepping, morning workouts, healthy snacking & just some good ol fashion grinding. This also includes my two hour round trip to work, still coaching youth sports, staying active in my local church & still able to have date nights with my wife.
Has it been hard and frustrating? Yes, absolutely. The one thing I promised myself from the very beginning is that I couldn’t give up. From being around 305lbs to hovering around 250lbs, I actually was able to drop the weight & shed some fat. Even though I haven’t reached my personal goal, I’m slowly chipping away at it.
I have had a lot weeks that were great and some that seem like I just couldn’t get on track. I tried a multitude of food, recipes, & snacks to see what actually fit my taste buds. If I didn’t like what I was eating then I wasn’t gonna be able to stick with it. From pushing myself to do exercises that I completely suck at or trying to figure when to raise or lower my carbs, it has been roller coaster ride. I guess what I’m trying to say is just keep pounding the pavement toward your goal, keep pressing play on that workout video, and find motivation wherever to keep you inspired on a day to day. Whether it’s a great track list on your iPod, an inspirational clip on YouTube, or your favorite fitness professional, keep moving. You have come this far because of the decision you made to yourself so keep going & don’t give up. With that, just Stay On The Grind…
