My internet buddy and fellow SoM meteorology graduate, Matt Mahler, shares his story of weight loss - the successes and failures:
I’ll never forget the first workout. Sunday, November 4, 2012. I weighed 225 pounds, was morbidly out of shape, had a horrible diet, and hadn’t seriously worked out in about 4 years. (I tried P90X at the beginning of 2012, but like everything before it, I never saw it through.) I distinctly remember feeling like I was going to die after that first workout. Thinking things like, “What have I done?” and “There’s NO WAY I’ll stick with this.” Now, here I am. 4 ½ months later, still working out, and actually ENJOYING it! Some days, the workouts SUCK. They’re tough. They’re hard. They hurt. But they’re worth it. And I love it.
As someone who went through a similar process, I know how hard Matt has worked. Keep it up, Matt. More people will be inspired than you know.
