Well, my thirst for it all began in 2001. I wanted a whole new physical me. Of sound and mind me spiritually was already ok. So I set out. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing!! I tried different workouts and I started to give up, I had no motivation. Workout after workout nothing really worked, I didn’t realize at the time you had to break yourself down before you build back up.
So it took a while before I got in the habit of things correctly. I gave up on it for a while. I had started college and was working I thought I had no time for it. I was more consentrating on my Art degree than anything else (which I am still working towards) and focusing more on spirtuality.
It wasn’t until 2003 that I finally grasped the concept. Military broke me down and then built me back up more ways than one. But it was only endurance that I had. Well time past, came and gone. My routine was only what I was told to do, nothing extra. Still wasn’t eating exactly healthy either.
I went back to school and being a Soldier at the same time, I saw other doing it so why not me right? Took more art classes and some General ed that I needed. But as I was doing this I noticed I was gaining weight because my pant size went up 3 x in 1 1/2 months. I said wait one minute, I just bought these sob’s this is fbs. Started reading more into the whole system of being and got really focused and balanced. Started to act upon what I needed to do and set goals.
I started just lifting my body weight doing physical training twice a day. For about 9 months I did this in 2007. I started hitting the weights in the gym just as of November 2007 and loving every minute of it. Every now and again I lose my center though and must regain my balance and ground. I find it again every time though. But now my goals are to achieve a 300 lb bench and gain 25 lbs of muscle, so I am now traveling down that road, however long it may be and continuing to keep sight everything.
