A little over due but here's a little background into my story. The guy pictured below was a Whataburger eatin, beer drinking, dude. Triple meat triple cheese no problem, case of beers no problem, ranch dressing on everything and I mean everything. This was me after I had finished up with College Football and my fitness was at a all time low and my eating was at a all time high. Before I knew it my weight had climbed to 225 and I felt and looked terrible. In just a few months I looked into the mirror and thought "What happened to me" I was always decently FIT and was happy with my appearance but things had gotten out of hand. Football was over and there wasn't anything covering up my bad eating habits. I continued to lose and gain weight over the next few years, never really making any significant progress. Then I found it....Light Bulb.
I attended a Free workout at GSX CrossFit in Fort Worth and did a WOD called "FRAN" I was swinging around on the pull bar like a retarded monkey and struggled going through the first 21 thrusters....rookie DNF. I remember, a older women next to me moving through the same WOD at a way faster pace than me and a smile on her face. She owned me....hahaha. I was wrecked for about a week and had the famous T-Rex arms from doing pull ups. I thought to myself...I'm terrible at this I have to get better. Being the competitive natured person I am I keep going back and got better and better n plus I couldn't go out getting smoked by this lady like that. Things got easier, a lot easier. I picked up the Paleo diet and combined it with my CrossFIT training, thats when the results starting coming in. Nutrition is #1 I found that out quickly.
2 years later here I am 199 lbs, 7% BF, FRAN 2:58, and ranch dressing free. I am Coaching CrossFit at CFRR with a amazing team and clients who inspire me each and every day. I truly am blessed and CrossFIT truly is a game changer. Happy new year and drink this Kool aid...its delicious.
Its 2012...time to make a change.
