Although I came from an athletic background, I had become increasingly sedentary and my diet was out of control, which was causing me to steadily gain weight. At first, I could tell the daily exercise was helping my overall health, but I wasn't completely satisfied with my fitness level. I would spend one hour working hard in the gym, only to sabotage my progress with a bad diet throughout the rest of the day. I was trying, unsuccessfully, to out-train my unhealthy lifestyle. One hour of discipline a day just wasn’t going to cut it.
Eventually I realized that I should put the same effort into my lifestyle that I put into my workouts. I sought nutrition advice from Coach Dusty and followed his instructions. At first it wasn’t easy, but I trusted my coach and stuck to it. I started to learn how to view food as it affected my overall health and performance. Over time, the process became easier and I started to see significant results. My body fat dropped, and I gained lean muscle. Best of all, my workouts were better than ever before. I never realized how great a workout could feel when your body is properly fueled to perform. At 28, I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, and I can’t wait to see where I go from here!
