This picture is going to change my life.
(I know its long, please read)

June 14th, I crossed the finish line at the Midstate Mile in Tennessee after timing out. I didn’t complete the lap in enough time to stay in the race. After only 6 miles.

I got a TON of support from friends and family on what I WAS able to accomplish, but inside I knew that I really didn’t put my best effort in MONTHS before.

With a sprained ankle leading up to the race, I wasn’t able to put miles in like I’d have liked, but the real problem was what my problem always has been, my food.

Food for me has been my “secret addiction” (realistically) since 11 years old. I have snuck food, lied about food, done it all. I track calories, but I don’t track when I mess up because I can’t stand the shame that has come with that.

I would pack my lunch for work with good food, then eat 4 slices of pizza without blinking an eye. I’ll wait till people are not looking to go sneak candy…

It was my “secret” until I saw this picture after thr race… in all reality, it’s not and has not been a secret to anyone.

I knew I needed to make a change.

I’ve hired a coach to work with me and hold he accountable with my nutrition and workouts, while I spend some serious time unpacking my relationship with food.

That’s a huge reason I’m posting this. I’m bringing it all to the surface. No more hiding. No more posting how great my workouts are, but not showing the struggles I have every day with food. Unpacking the guilt and shame that comes with my bad choices. This will not defeat me.

I deserve this. My wife deserves this from me. My kids deserve this from me.

The comeback is going to be epic!

It’s time…

If you want to jump start fat loss or push past a plateau- there’s nothing better than incline treadmill walking.

The battle is often won or lost before you ever take the first step.

The obstacle isn’t always the problem. Sometimes it’s how you’ve trained your mind to see it.

Hard season? Opportunity to grow.
Failure? Opportunity to learn.
Discomfort? Opportunity to get stronger.
Closed door? Opportunity to trust God.

You train your body to handle resistance.
Train your mind to do the same.

Stop asking, “Why is this happening to me?”
Start asking, “What can God build in me through this?”

🚨Episode 20 is live. 🎙️

🔗Link in bio🔗

This week on the Warrior’s Way Podcast, I sit down with Ben Barker, founder of Fit Fathers Fellowship.

Ben is a husband, dad, Christian, fitness coach, and a guy who believes our physical fitness is about a whole lot more than looking good.

It’s about being capable.

Capable of leading our families.
Capable of serving others.
Capable of doing the hard things God calls us to do.
Capable of showing our kids what discipline looks like.

We talk faith, fatherhood, fitness, discipline, leadership, and why dads need to stop treating their health like it’s optional.

Stronger men. Stronger families.

The mood will change.

Day 39☑️

Some days you’ll feel motivated.
Some days you’ll feel tired.
Some days you’ll question why you’re even doing it.

But the plan doesn’t change just because your feelings do.

Stick to the plan. Not the mood.

Keep showing up. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep doing the work — especially on the days you don’t feel like it.

Because discipline carries you where motivation can’t.
