Shoutout to pastor Alex for popping over to get a lift in with me the past couple Monday’s. Heaviest weight I’ve been under in a while for bench press & it felt so good!! Lift heavy weights. Do hard things. Do them with people who push you to be better 💪🏼😤

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
-Proverbs 27:17

Confession: Pastor Alex is indeed stronger than me as I had to drop my weight by the 3rd set 😔

2025 goal? Run 1,000 miles ✅
2026 goal? Eat to live, don’t live to eat 🥗

Make goals & hold yourself accountable to them!!!

Today is day #7 of our 21-day purification program my wife & I are kicking off the year with! No caffeine. No sugar. No processed foods. Whole foods only. Spring water to drink. Some other clients + friends have joined alongside us as well! Down 7 lbs in a week & feeling great! It feels good to not only choose to do something hard, but to also first hand experience what all of us already know…you eat better, you feel better.

The reality is with so much running last year I felt myself starting to get lazy with my eating habits. I convinced myself I could eat whatever I wanted because “I’ll just run it off”. I was wrong. I got up to almost 200 lbs, which I have only been one other time in my life. I had great excuses, but still excuses. I was busy. I needed what was convenient. At the end of the day, you can have excuses or results…but not both.

As of today I’m down to 189lbs & I’m looking forward to seeing where things go this year with the goal of fueling my body more consistently with the things it wants and needs! LET’S GOOO

Eat to live, don’t live to eat 💯
