Five O’s Final Essay!
FINAL ESSAY:
I have a favorite shirt I like to wear to the gym that has the words SACRIFICE written across the front. I have realized over the last several weeks that to transform myself into the person I would like to become takes a lot of SACRIFICE. It has required me to take a long hard look at myself and be willing to SACRIFICE the things that have hindered me from transforming myself into a healthier human being, both physically and mentally. I am proud to say that over the last 16 weeks I have been able to SACRIFICE these things and take myself to heights that I didn’t know were possible. I have been able to do this with the encouragement of my friends I have met here on Bodyspace and through some good old fashioned hard word and dedication. Bodybuilding is truly and art form that I am learning to embrace and will continue to do so as my transformation is a life long process that I look forward to continuing. I am a much stronger person both mentally and physically and will not allow SACRIFICES to get in the way of reaching my goals. Thanks to Muscletech and Bodyspace for providing me with the vehicle to learn it’s never too late to become a better person. Stay safe everybody. FIVE O

Hey Jeff! Yeah…I learned a lot about SACRIFICE myself. "If you want something you’ve never had…you have to do something you’ve never done to get it" is my favorite quote…not just to recite for my clients but to repeat to myself whenever I feel like giving up. I have to sacrifice fun weekends and favorite foods and old hobbies for a little while if I want to succeed…not only in this world of Fitness Competitions but in business as well. I FEEL YA! Congratulations on your recent success and progress. Thank you for this blog. I really needed to hear it in a way.
