My Steemit Six Week Challenge - Introduction


Hello fellow steemers


I've decided it's time for a change!

One of the hardest lessons I had to learn as a freshman in college last year was that the dreaded "freshman 15" is NO laughing matter! In my first year of college, I went from eating right, and working out 5 times a week, to eating fast food twice a day without setting one foot in a gym for weeks. I know... Quite the dramatic change, isn't it?

But what happened? How did I lose all of these good habits after years of hard work? I got lazy; that's what happened! School is tough - don't get me wrong, but no matter how much work was due, or how busy things were, I know that if I really wanted to, I could've made time for a lot of it.

A little about myself...

I've been studying fitness and how the body works since I was 10. It was always a fascination of mine. Something about going to the gym, getting in a good lift, and coming home to a nutritious meal, gave me such a huge feeling of purpose and accomplishment. 

I was always a bit heavier when I was younger which bothered me more as I got older. It wasn't even just how I looked, it was how I felt from eating junk all day.

Around the time I turned 15 was when the heavier lifting began. My school teacher Mr. Beal and I were good friends throughout my high school years, and so happens to know a TON about weightlifting. He's the real MVP in this story because without him, I would've never gotten were I am today.

After 3 years of putting his words into action, my hard work was finally starting to pay off

October 9th, 2014

A little before that in the spring, during my Junior year of high school, I joined a soccer team called REAL Bristol. Luckily my team was very skilled and won three tournaments in a row! It was an honor learning from those guys.

So here's my plan...

I hope to use the power of steemit to motivate myself through my journey to a better lifestyle. This is where you guys come in! If this interests you, please keep up with me encourage me, and hold me accountable through these next 6 posts as I work my way towards a life of better health, wellbeing, and all around confidence.

Each week I'll post what workouts I'll be doing so that if anyone else wants it they can have it!

Wish me luck steemit!
