New To The Game

You may or may not know this about me but for the last few years I have really been getting into the concept of what it means to have good health and how to get into tip top shape. Back in high school and college I considered myself to be an athlete a major Track and Field star. But once the sprinting, running and jumping ended so did the awesome body I had. At my prime I was a size 4 5ft 8in and 148 pounds of pure awesomeness. Things changed, life evolved around seeing how much money I can make, work and paying the bills, how boring is that. I wasn’t happy and begin to just let myself go not worrying about what I was eating, drinking and you can forget exercise, that was out of the picture. Years went by and I begin to wonder what was missing in my life what would make me the happiest. What came to mind was competition, I missed being an athlete, I missed the fun in running and working out and being a team player! So I begin to research and learn more about fitness, I began to exercise and lift weights and begin to love the gym. So since I  have found my passion it is time to start feeding it and growing into a fitness guru not just a nut. I am going to use this blog to motivate myself while also motivating others. What I know for sure is that being in great shape is not just about going to the gym doing 30min to 1 hour of  cardio and hitting some weights, the majority of it has to do with what I put into my body.  For myself I noticed that  I use to work out all the time and just maintained the same weight and was getting really frustrated until I learned that 80% of loosing weight and getting into good shape has to do with the food you eat and a  small percentage is working out. Let’s grind it out together! Share this journey with me and hopefully you will get something out of it and also teach me something’s as well.

Yours Truely,
