48 hours between these two pictures.

My first show a few weeks ago didn’t go as well as I hoped.

(My class went on stage over an hour earlier than planned, so I didn’t get to eat, hydrate, or pump up first. Turns out that matters lol.)

I got 3rd place and missed nationals by one placing, so I decided last minute to jump into another show the next week.

Then Wednesday I got hit with a gnarly stomach bug. I couldn’t keep anything down, lost a ton of fluid, and got so dehydrated I passed out (on the toilet of course lol) but luckily Anna Howell was there.

The next thing I remember is waking up on the bathroom floor with EMTs surrounding me.

They said I needed to go to the ER in the ambulance, but I wanted to prove I could stand up for Anna to drive me.

Apparently a blood pressure of 69/55 is a bit low to keep blood flow to your brain when standing. Ask me how I know 😂

They took me to the ER and kept me overnight until things stabilized. When we got home Thursday afternoon, Saturday’s show didn’t seem likely.

But I slowly started feeling better and decided I’d take another shot at qualifying if I kept improving (plus I’d already signed up and paid so it seemed like a waste not to 🤷‍♂️)

But the next morning I woke up 2.3lbs over my weight cap from the fluid rebound. I needed to somehow drop 2.3lbs of water retention by that afternoon to even enter the show.

We packed up to drive 5 hours to the show on slim chances.

We got there and I weighed in at 194.0… Exactly at my weight cap. Just 0.1lb heavier and it would’ve been for nothing.

I definitely didn’t feel or look my best, but with Joe Jeffery’s wizardry and a good amount of luck (following some terrible luck) we pulled it off and qualified for nationals.

We have ~5 weeks until then and honestly my main goal is just to not get life-threatening diarrhea again 😂 100% don’t recommend it.

How to actually progress your lateral raises.

Started taking lifting seriously → 15 weeks from my first show.

This wasn’t a 12-week (or even 12-month) transformation. I’ve pushed this off for 7+ years waiting to feel “ready”… I still don’t lol.

I started and stopped going to the gym more times than I can count. It was always something I “wanted” to do, but I never actually believed I could stick with it.

I’d always been the slightly chubby kid and I was convinced that’s who I’d always be.

Until I hit a stretch where I didn’t like who I was becoming. Bad decisions. No direction. Just drifting.

But that’s when I decided to actually commit.

Not because circumstances were perfect… but because they were far from perfect and I knew I needed to change.

Fitness quickly became my gateway to improvement - it showed me that my inputs could change not just my physique, but the person I was becoming.

For the first time, I didn’t feel destined to be the old version of me forever. I could improve myself.

I could become someone that chubby kid would look up to. Not just physically, but as a person. Someone who followed through on his commitments, didn’t avoid discomfort, and aligned his actions with his values.

I still have a long way to go and I’ll never fully “make it.” But I do know every time I pursue discomfort, I get a bit closer to “making it.”

And I’ll be damned if these next 15 weeks don’t bring me plenty of discomfort 😂

But I know I’ll come out of it a more equipped coach, better husband, more patient father, and more disciplined man.

Here’s the thing…

The longer you diet for weight loss, the harder it gets.

As you lose weight, your body is naturally going to burn fewer calories (a smaller body requires less energy).

This means that if you initially lose weight at 2,000 calories, as you lose weight you’re going to have to decrease that number to 1,800, then 1,600, and so on.

Not very fun 😬… or sustainable.

Not only this, but the longer you eat in a calorie deficit, the higher chance you have of losing muscle tissue, which will decrease your metabolism even further (because muscle naturally burns a bit more calories than fat).

You’re also going to be hungrier, probably moodier, your hormones can be negatively affected, and your sleep might take a hit.

On top of these physical downsides, you’re not able to have much flexibility with your nutrition, your social life might suffer, and you’ll likely be more food focused.

All of these mental and physical effects NEED to be addressed at some point, which is why taking occasional breaks to focus on maintaining (or in some cases, gaining) is so important.

Taking a few extra weeks/months to reach your long term goal in a way that you can actually SUSTAIN is SO worth it.

In the end, the turtle wins the race 🐢😏

My client, fellow weiner-dog lover, and now really great friend has made SUCH a big change over the last 9 months.

He’s lost over 60 lbs…

Dropped 25+ inches…

Made a huge change in his physical appearance (obviously)…

But more importantly than any of that, he’s done all of this in a way that he can actually MAINTAIN.

His relationship with food is SO much better than it was 9 months ago, and he’s learned the skills with his diet and exercise to sustain the results he’s made.

🚫 We didn’t have him lose weight as quickly as possible

🚫 We didn’t have him cut out carbs (or any specific foods)

🚫 We didn’t have him do hours of cardio each week

🚫 We didn’t force him to completely change his lifestyle overnight

🚫 We didn’t have him dieting for 9 months straight

Instead…

✅ We set up his diet/exercise plan to have him lose weight at a sustainable (but still motivating) rate

✅ We made sure he at a balanced diet, including the foods he enjoyed

✅ We had him lifting weights on average 4 days/week and set a daily step target

✅ We set up his diet/exercise plan around HIS lifestyle, rather than forcing him to make drastic changes overnight

✅ We took breaks from weight loss (aka we haven’t had him dieting for 9+ months - we’ve taken times to focus on MAINTENANCE)

^These are the things that made him so successful this time around.

AND he did all of this on top of being in school, transitioning jobs, and dealing with some personal things that could’ve easily derailed him.

I couldn’t be more proud of you my man. Thank you for investing in yourself and letting me be a part of your journey. This journey ain’t over for you, but give yourself MAD credit for how far you’ve already come!
