Anyone who has known me has known that I am a little on the heavy side. Being 6'3", having a thick frame, and having a slow metabolism, I have been over 200lbs since I was 15 and I have been over 250lbs for over 6 years.
After the LA show in November I decided I had to do something with myself. I was at 268lbs, my all time high. My energy was low and my self-esteem was not too great when it came to my physical appearance. I joined a gym a couple miles from my house that was open 24 hours a day and started going every day, rain or shine, whether I was sleepy, tired, in a shitty mood, etc.
After going to the gym every day for the past 5 weeks and doing my best to watch what I eat I have been watching the pounds drop off as I added muscle. Yesterday I weighed in at 251.6 lbs and went to the gym for 3 hours, pushing myself till my whole body burned.
I woke up this morning and weighed in at 249.2 lbs. You have no idea how encouraging it is to hit a goal like that.
I feel so damn satisfied that I am going to the gym today to push it even further ( I normally take Sundays off). I want to hit 245lbs by Vegas next week. I know I can do it if I stick to it. I've been told I'll never look skinny because of my body type, but because of that I can put on muscle to replace fat and at least look healthy. I don't care as long as I feel good about myself!
Anyone want a workout partner for Vegas? I'm game!
