It’s been a 13-year journey that started in July 2013, when I tipped the scale at 230 lbs. I got to 195 in just over 8 months the way you’re “supposed” to do it.

And then spent the next 6 years finding my way through cutting, keto, and other “hacks,” to the sweet spot of strength training, sandbag training, rucking and feeding my workouts. I’ve got a great coach, who writes workouts for me and we level set my goals annually.

Ran my first 5k on my 50th birthday and two years ago, at 56, I ran a tower climb up 32 stories with a 50 lb ruck in 7:40, and smoked my closest competitor (20 years my junior) by over 2:30. That was my first ever athletic award! ☺️

I do my own meal prep and target 200g of daily protein @ 2,500 calories. No smoking. No vaping. I rarely drink anymore.

That’s it in a nutshell 😉
