I was reading the book Atomic Habits this morning and there was a quote that hit me hard: "Every action you take is a vote for the person you wish to become." That is powerful and it applies to everything in life - especially when it comes to your physical fitness. I'll put it this way... seemingly small, seemingly inconsequential actions you take with your diet can add up in a big way. Let's say you decide to have a very small (one of the mini) bags of chips and a soda from the vending machine when the mid day hunger hits. I mean, that's next to nothing in the great scheme of things, right? 390 calories won't make you fat. But if you do that even just twice a week, you're looking at around 3,500 extra calories in a month. There is 3,500 calories in a pound of fat - so just doing that a couple times a week can add 1 pound of fat per month. Barely noticeable. But over a year, that's 12 pounds of fat you can add! Look at the flip side... If you decide to jump on a treadmill twice a week and burn an extra 400-500 calories, that's not a huge deal - but it will burn about a pound of fat per month, so you could lose 12 pounds a year from that. Combine those two things - eliminate the occasional junk food fix and hit the cardio a couple times a week, and just those small changes can help you lose over 20 lbs in the course of a year. That's huge! It's a microwave society we live in a people want huge results NOW! But we're playing the long game, and every action you take - or don't take - is moving you toward the man you will become. You get to decide, with tiny little daily actions, what that man in the mirror looks like in 6 months. Or 12 months. Or 2 years. Or 5 years. You get the idea. Pay attention to the small things each day, and the big picture will take care of itself.

If you ignore your body long enough, it will soon make itself impossible to ignore.

Let’s get this week started off right!! Whatcha guys working on today?

Ok, it's Friday and I'm not feeling too serious... What is your favorite body part to train? Drop it in the comments! 💪

Hey gents, here’s the deal. I’m running a free, 10 week Fat Loss Blitz program for anyone in the group who’s ready to get serious and drop some bodyfat over the next 2 1/2 months. Two of you have already committed, but I’d like to get at least 2-3 more onboard to kick this off strong on Thursday. This isn’t some vague “let’s kinda work out” challenge. We’re talking real accountability, structured training, and strategies that actually work to drop fat and keep muscle. I’ll guide you through it every step of the way - workouts, nutrition tweaks, and tracking progress. If you’re ready to finally cut through the excuses and see some real results, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s get a solid squad together and make this 10 weeks count. Let's get in top shape well BEFORE the whole New Years resolution thing kicks off! I'm full blown participating as well... Who’s in?
