I spent 12 years treating my body like crap. Eating bags of Doritos and downing junk food & beer like I’d never be able to eat a cookie again. Nobody said a dang word, not 1.
15 months of consistency later, I turn down drinks & bar burgers and now I’m “taking it too far” 😂😂
Today is the big day. I’ve been waiting years for this opportunity to finally have my formal interview, to lead as Executive Director of a non-profit that helped changed my life 12 years ago.
I’m going all in, no holding back now.

As I get more into weight training, I’ve become interested in creatine being added.
For those with experience, do you use creatine as a supplement to your training? Benefits/downsides you’d be willing to share?
I am in top or the freaking world right now…
Just landed my dream job in a dream scenario, in my hometown, in the organization that’s had my heart for 12 years.
I can’t begin to tell you all how blessed I’m feeling right now.
Hope you’re al having an amazing day!!
I’ve been beaten and battered emotionally this afternoon & evening. Lots of major changes will be coming to my personal & professional life.
Sometimes things happen that just make you look at the everything differently. This is that day.

My uncle:
Drops 30lbs on carnivore/low carb
A1C went from 12.8 to 8.4
Blood sugar 350 average to 106 average
His doctor wants to put him on 2 additional insulin meds & metformin
I honestly don’t know what to say. More pills more pills always more pills

Hot tip: want to make coworkers really mad?
Politely decline calendar invitation to an 1100 pot luck lunch saying - “sorry, this wouldn’t fall into my nutrition plan. I’ll be there but won’t be partaking.”
Apparently this has everybody in a tizzy 😂😂

@SBakerMD
My doctor at the VA tried to get me to go vegan 2 years ago when I was in this situation…went the exact opposite direction and every blood marker improved significantly on top of dropping 112lbs of fat 😂😂
#VAForTheWin
My friends: man, it’s genetics. You’re not going to be able to lose X weight and get jacked. Your body wasn’t made for that.
Twitter/X Fit Fam: keep crushing it bro! You’re making great progress and I’m happy for you.
Love you all, you’re incredible people.

2004 camper in great condition!! Steal of a deal, we only paid $1,000 for this baby. Clean, and ready to go. Just needs a bit of TLC. Breaking it in next weekend 🤩🤩

#Family
My father passed away 24 years ago today when I was 13.
Yet today, I’ve never been happier in my life. I have an amazing family, I know my mom & dad are looking down, proud of the man I’ve become.
I am so thankful to him for guiding me, even to this day.
Snow day for my kids, and my wife was able to take off work to be with them
Before leaving I snowblowed, but ran out of time to clear the snow around wife’s car
On my way out, I said I’d clean it up after work tonight. My 9yo son “don’t worry dad, I got this”
#MyDude
One really nice thing about working out every day in my home gym is I’m always the most jacked dude in that gym.
Problem is my son is 9, and getting older, stronger and faster. Which means I obviously need to either destroy him, or get better myself to maintain superiority.
My 6 year old gave me the best compliments this morning:
6yo: you look super handsome for work today.
Me: thank you honey!
6yo: And I think you need a bigger shirt, your arms look super tight in that one, I think the pythons are bigger.
Me: girl you just made my day 😍❤️🤩
I legit have 2 pieces of health/fitness advice. That’s all I have.
1 - start today
2 - don’t quit
That’s it. That’s all you need. Don’t over complicate it.
#StartToday
Woke up with brain fog. I have been mentally broken down recently. Gotten my ass kicked professionally.
90 minutes of cardio and 90 minutes of weight lifting was what I needed today. Had to kick my own ass.
I have my clarity, I know what to do and know my next steps.

In fear of
@dookiebutter100
flying up to Wisconsin and calling me a fat ass - I will not be partaking in office donuts as part of the packing/moving.
I’ll stick with my normal foods today 😂😂
I am well aware that I am still quite fat and shirtless I am not desirable - this isn’t going to surprise me when losers try to use that against me. Get over it. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today and I stand by it.
@MrKatz
I do an animal based diet, meat, eggs, fruit & raw honey. It’s been great!!
-49lbs
Sleep apnea gone
GERD gone
Increased libido
Increased sleep quality
Energy through the roof
It’s worth it, every bit of it.
I love when family is offended by my dietary choices 😂😂
Love you so much. But I’m not about to eat sugar & carbs for dinner just because that’s what’s available. I’ll happily skip dinner and just stay on point.
#GetOverIt
My daughters (5 & 22 month) have never seen my face without facial hair. I’ve worn a beard for years to cover up my expanding facial features.
As of today I’m down 91lbs. When I’ve lost 100lbs, I’m going to be clean shaven. They deserve it!!
#WeightLoss
#LetsGo
I love watching people underestimate my 6 year old daughter 😂😂
Nobody worries about the bubbly blonde dork in a pink & purple unicorn singlet
Until she walks on the mat, flips to pit bull mode and kicks your butt 😂😂
3 matches, 1 pinfall, 2 decisions - 1st place
After 9 months doing carnivore & animal based, I can honestly say I feel in complete control. I can have a treat ice cream and birthday cake with my kids and not go nuts and be right back to carnivore next meal.
Feels so damn good to feel so damn good!!
Remaining positive today!! Nobody here can bring me down. I lost 112.5lbs on my own doing what I do and putting in the work.
Peer pressure is the last thing that will work on me and I’ll just go ahead and stay committed to my goals. 💪🏻👊

@DrSquatchSoapCo
deodorant, used this Every Man Jack brand my wife brought me - chemical burns, from deodorant in 1 day of use.
I’d rather stink for a few days waiting for my Dr Squatch order to arrive. Wow.
Finish 100 minute elliptical workout.
Grandma: how much do you workout everyday?
Me: usually I do 4:15am-6am or so, but I slept in today so knocking it out now
Grandma: you make me want to nap thinking about that
Me: weren’t you a farmer?
Grandma: oh shut up
#LoveYouGrandma
My daughter is so lovely.
Daughter: Dad, why are you so tall? (5’10”)
Me: because I’m older than you dude.
Daughter: oh, so like when I’m as old as you, will I be like 15 feet tall?
Me: yup. Basically. You’ll be a giant 😂😂
I don’t understand people with a consistently poor attitude.
Why? Mommy hold you too much, or not enough? Didn’t get the easy bake oven you wanted for Christmas when you were?
Life is what you make it. That woe is me attitude is exactly why you’re miserable.

We go through roughly 125-160eggs per week in our house. From egg whites to homemade Mayo we make a lot of eggs.
Thankfully we have about 50 chickens to handle that for us 😂😂

Nobody wants the win more, wants to see the fans smile & cheer more, or feels their heartache more than the players themselves. Fuel to the fire, they’ll be back. Young, wildly talented team that’s hungry to take the next step.

@TheDadAesthetic
We had lunch at the water park yesterday - 1 hot dog, 2 corn dogs, 1 cheese burger, 4 drinks, 1 water and 4 fries - $109
Freaking insane prices for a place that doesn’t have a single thing working correctly in the building.
I genuinely believe that those who spend the majority, or even significant minority percentage of their time worrying about politics are absolute morons. Usually with nothing to actually offer society.
HA! For years my wife mocked me for paying for replacement warranties. Always.
Now that the dishwasher died at 2 years old and called the company to see if there was anything that could be done.
But. Somebody got the 3 year replacement warranty, so we’re good 😂
@SBakerMD
6 months ago I’d eat a bowl of 3 servings of this crap. Then physically be sick all day. Now I eat eggs & meat and feel amazing. Fantastic side effect.

America could also bring the pharmaceutical industry to its knees by returning the favor and reclaiming their lives through health & wellness
@RodneyAllebach
I just keep going about my business lol I invited them over for steak & eggs w/protein shake after a workout and they declined. Man, wish they’d live a little 😂😂
Today is a milestone day. The day I put in my sight on 1/28/23. 100 lbs lost and 199 by 12/31/23. Smashed both. 306 to 162 in 337 days. Commitment, Consistency and Community. We’re made to do hard things friends! Our limits are self imposed. Make 2024 your best yet

Post weight training - Just consumed 45g whey protein, 30g protein via beef and 25g protein Greek yogurt…
@dookiebutter100
how much time do I have left before my kidneys shut down?
My 9 year old has been lifting with me for about 3 months now, slow/steady/safely…over the weekend, dude started noticing muscle definition on himself
Now he keeps pulling me to the side to flex and show off the pythons - I’ve officially nicknamed him

@DoctorTro
I’ve been doing animal based diet for 6 weeks. So far I’ve:
Lost 19 pounds
Stopped sleep apnea
Increased libido
Increased energy
Better sleep quality
Great start to a better, healthier lifestyle.
More than usual, but a great 4am workout today!
35min incline walk @ 13%
90min push day
30min incline walk @ 13%
3.1mile run - knee tendinitis is finally gone. Slowly plan to re-incorporate running again
Is there a better feeling than feeling well all the time?
#HealthIsWealth
Stuff my face full of garbage food for 10 years and balloon up to 285lbs, nobody, not 1 person says a word.
Lose 87lbs through fitness and an animal based diet, consistency and not eating milk duds at the movie….and I’m killing myself.
Sometimes people amaze me.
#Yes2Meat
I love weight training….but nothing beats completely annihilating myself on cardio. Always walk away feeling depleted but amazing at the same time.
Running season approaching, time to slowly start building up the cardio machine again.

I haven’t been able to take him seriously since the “rate my plate” every day crap started. Get a hamster to chat with if he’s that damned bored and need a friend.
Dude needs a hobby.
My 6 year old has a swimming day today at school (once a month, twice if all reading logs completed in the class)
Getting kids comfortable around water, learning safe swimming and learning to swim are critical for development.
I feel blessed that my kids have an awesome school
I love hard boiled eggs - eat 3 or 4 per day most days
Problem though is they’re never filling to me, just enjoyable.
With that said - a dozen egg whites is less calories than 4 whole eggs, and very filling!!
Can’t remember the last time I was unable to finish my lunch 😂😂
Team player according to my boss: attend this reception with food you won’t eat and booze or you’re not a team player.
Team player according to me: don’t force an alcoholic 11 months sober and sugar addict into a situation with alcohol & mountains of sugar.
