My History in a Nutshell

I decided to create a workout journal to share my journey with my friends.

A brief history of my life...

Well I have been plagued with being overweight most of my life, but I was athletic at the same time as a child. I played hockey, golf, and baseball. When I hit 16 and started driving a car and hanging around with a different crowd.. things started to change...

Drive thru's and parties were my life now... slowly but surely I began changing for the worst. 300lbs
400lbs
almost 500 lbs I decided to try and get this fixed before I was dead.

I went into a hospital program and was able to lose ALOT of weight. Down to 261 lbs actually. Big weight loss... However it didn't feel right. I was doing a lot of cardio and eating sparingly.

Fast forward 6 months later, I was eating again, not working out. Stress, family issues and any other excuse I could come up with was causing me to revert back to my ways. Back up to 480 lbs and feeling terrible.

I then decided to do something again. This time I wanted to get fit and stronger. I decided to start training with my friend Curd Hos.

With Curd I have learned to power of eating protein and doing intense bootcamp style workouts. I also have added strength training to the mix, hoping to one day compete in a powerlifting meet.

I have dropped to 349 in 1 year and gained a substantial increase in muscle volume. I will be posting my daily workouts and thoughts.

Feel free to comment as you see fit!
