Had an awesome check in with my coach today.
I have been on this “transformation of me” journey and for the first time in a year (yup, I’ve been at this with Casey Shipp for a year) I didn’t drop weight. I actually added a pound. Hehe. And. All the personal exploration and growth, the workouts, the food, the mindset and an extra pound (I’m 164lbs)...look like that. I’m not gonna lie, a year ago I didn’t think recovering from surgery or dropping the weight I’d put on afterward or even fixing my mindset was possible. This past year has been filled with ups and downs...some I never thought I’d recover from.
Now, I’m looking at power lifting meets and bodybuilding competitions in 2020, I’m looking at Ironman races and I’m looking at a career change. I’m planning what I want my life to be in the next 6 months, year, 5 years and 10 years and I want to get after it with my Ranger tenacity and focus.
Am I proud of the work I’ve done thus far and how I look? You bet your ass I am!!! I’ve lost 60lbs and completely rebuilt myself skin in and skin out. Am I done? Hells no I am not!!! I got stronger and leaner to get and new challenges to undertake. Let’s see what this body and a fresh, positive-thinking-mind and perspective can do! Hell, if this kid with body dysmorphic disorder can be excited to share progress pics...anything is possible! And oh by the way...if I can do it and look like this at 47 after numerous injuries, surgeries, repairs and recoveries (physically and mentally I might add)...I promise you that YOU can do it too.
