2 Years of Change...

Enjoying the hell out of the following:

- The 24 hour fitness @ Triangle Square; $30 a month, private showers, a clean gym AND towel service!
- Heart of a Champion workout program
- Being a vegetarian (coming up on 3 years!)

Here is a picture from progression showing changes.  The far left is Oct 2010, I was a year into vegetarian eating doing CrossFit and weighed about 148lbs.  The middle pic was May 2011 during my 'weight gain' phase; I was eating about 3500 calories a day and doing a traditional body building program.  The last picture is July 2012, I am eating around 2,300 calories a day and doing the Heart of a Champion program.

Honestly all three programs have helped me so much.  CrossFit was amazing and gave me such a foundation for fitness that I never had prior.  The body building phase let me put on muscle that I have been able to retain and the program I'm on now has really helped me bring it all together with the results I was always aiming for.

I'm also excited to say that in the same time I've raised my max pushups to 45 (from 25, 2 years ago) and my resting heart rate has dropped from 68 to 54.  Hell yeah!

Still lots of work, but not bad and 100% vegetarian.  No meat, no fish; I do eat dairy & eggs.
