2012 - A look back of my year in fitness


-I ran in two 5k races, one in the snow setting a personal record .

-Survived the Big Sur marathon with one of my best friends that I've known since I was 12 years old.

-Ran a 10k race in what seemed like 100 degree heat.

 -Completed the Davis Moonlight Half marathon with another one of my best friends.

-Most importantly, in 2012 I learned the importance of eating clean! Over a four month period I was able to lose ten pounds and gain lean muscle all by CONSISTENTLY eating clean and working out. I realized that food is 90% of what your body is going to look like. It doesn't matter how hard you work in the gym, if you don't control what you put on your plate. You can not out train a bad diet. 

EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE has the potential to make it far and reach their desired fitness goals. The only thing that stands in your way that separates you from those you might think are the perfect body role model is consistency, determination and willingness to want it. Add time and you've got no reason to say you can't make something happen. Don't ever use the word " I can't" because the truth is you can if you want too.

  2. You look jacked, so the diet thing is definitely true! I have improved in that area myself, but I plan on getting even better! There are still way too many weaknesses out there for me. I gotta shore up and forget about it! Good job!
