Fueling the Desire

Wow. I have not posted on here in ages, and that truly saddens me. Life got so incredibly busy with finishing my college career, this blog became pushed aside in the grand scheme of things. I reformatted everything over Christmas break, and I am not sure I love the changes. I have thought about going to a new website to start with a fresh perspective. Then again, this is where I started, so I have a sentimental connection to this blog. I am going to keep it for more of a personal use more than anything.

I want to start out by saying that I have lost my passion. Yep, I said it. Clear as day so everyone knows. Don't get me wrong, I still workout and I still love Crossfit and my new box. However, I need more motivation to get back to the completely healthy lifestyle. To the morning workouts. To motivating other people. Helping other people helps me to feel like I'm making a difference. I have to continue to make a difference in my own life in order to be a good example for others. So, this is where I am starting over. I want to find the desire again, and writing goals down here, and posting here is going to be a motivation for me. Even if no one reads it, it is still public so I feel some sense of accountability.

I have come way to far to lose any progress now, which, thankfully I have not yet. I have still been making gains at the gym, but I know I am capable of so much more. Look for an even bigger difference in my lifestyle, and my persona in general! I'm back and ready to go harder than ever before.

Goals for this summer:


  • Incorporate God into my fitness lifestyle as well. 
  • Get back to drinking more water! 
  • Healthy foods even when no one else chooses them. 
  • Saying no to sweets on a regular basis and saving them for a cheat meal. 
  • Getting back into running.
  • Getting back to morning workouts. 
  • Going to workout after work if I missed a morning.
  • Working out on business trips because I have a lot of them. 
  • Motivating other people and putting my story out there.
