Weight was never a problem for me through my teenage years and through my early 20’s. I was that dude who could eat whatever he wanted and not put on a pound…then I graduated college and got a desk job. It wasn’t so bad at first, I remained at around 140 pounds with only minor fluctuations. Then slowly I started putting on some weight:
2008: 145
2009: 160
2010: 170
2011: 187
Almost 45 pounds in about 3 years!!!! I never really cared, I thought I looked okay (at least okay enough to have a girl want to marry me). Then people started making comments and I felt like butt. In softball I couldn’t stretch a single into a double anymore, going for short jogs had me grasping for air.
Fast forward to present day. Today’s workout had me finding some one rep max’s for a few lifts and then running three 800m times runs. I did not feel like death, I actually felt really good after the runs. But what I really wanted to show you all is the before and after photos of myself. I am by no means cut, but there has been some improvements. Try to keep the laughter to a minimum for now.
