The only difference is 20 years of life has passed. Donβt get me wrong, I am very grateful for my everything I have. My beautiful wife, amazing kids, and awesome friends but if you ever have been in fantastic shape and now you arenβt you will know what I am about to say is true.
Now I definitely believe that looks and appearance is not everything, not even close, but for me as I got older and more out of shape it haunted me the feeling of confidence I had when I was in my 20βs and how I let myself go so far. In my prime as I call it, I weighed 168 lbs with 8% body fat. Fast forward to my heaviest was 235 lbs with about 40% body fat!
Because I lifted weights and learned about proper nutrition when I was younger I knew exactly what needed to be done now.
I JUST NEVER DID IT.
I wanted to feel how I felt when I was younger but as much as I tried I went to the gym or ate right I always reverted back a few weeks later.
Until a few events kickstarted my journey. You can listen to the complete story on episode 1 of my podcast. It really is an amazing story, Iβm still astonished myself about it.
I also want to say I am not any more special than the next person. Anyone can do what I am doing. A few things lined up that set off a chain of events that led me to learn how to build momentum and the magic of consistency.
