20 Years of Improvement

‘99 to ‘19. 160lbs to 250lbs.

Age, injuries, Lyme disease, nerve damage, and piles of life challenges really helped to improve things. What isn’t so evident in these pictures is how much orthopedic pain I was in on the left and how I am totally pain free on the right.

When I was running 60 miles per week (left) and eating low fat, not only was it impossible to get leaner (I never had visible abs then), but my hips and feet always killed me. Having worked diligently on strengthening and correcting mobility issues and muscle balances for 20 years, however, despite the glitches along the way (especially the nerve issues), I feel really great most days. That feeling of wellness can’t be captured in a photo. But you can get an idea of it.

​The time I spend weekly on workouts is a tiny fraction of what it used to be, by the way.
