Wishing you composure and relentlessness in 2019!

As I entered my 6th #rehab for #addiction nearly 20 years ago, trust me, I never saw this coming. — When this picture was taken I would have never expected to touch lives as far away as #kazakhstan #algeria #thailand #brazil — let alone over 30 countries. — A little #flashbackfriday to the set of Workout from Within about a month before the show’s debut in 2013 — with ???? extraordinaire @jamesfarrellphoto! — And little did I know I’d soon join NBC’s Today Show as a correspondent later that year! — What I learned: 1. Trade expectation for appreciation. 2. Don’t misinterpret life’s delays as denials. 3. Be most #grateful when you feel it least. (You can always find *something* to be grateful for; I promise!)

Starting to see progress from losing 20lbs (details below)…and of course #chiropracticlighting. ???? — (…and making property improvements for @roryadele — I was ???? #manpreggers ????) — I have been fasting for the most part 20-24 hours at a clip and actually lifting less. Nothing scientific; just a change of pace that seems to be working, but also #science. ????‍???? LOL — Working out fasted was tough at first but I actually feel like I have MORE energy in each workout now that I’ve acclimated. Maybe some @orihofmekler #warriordiet science there? ⚔️ — Also interesting on the #powerlifting front is that my #benchpress has actually gone UP as my weight has gone DOWN. That’s a first too. ???? — Let’s see how long I can ride this experiment…. and hopefully get some sleep to make sure it’s #fatloss per @dr.eddiejo ???? — #fitness #fitfam #nutrition #weightloss #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #workout
