Same shirt, six years apart

I was significantly underweight in 2020, and it’s taken years to build back my muscle mass

I was around 140 then. I’m 240 now, with much of it being strength I’ve built up since then.

It’s easy to smile when you’re looking at your favorite person

2026

Got a new blazer for the first time in about a decade

Went from medium to XL! I view it as a positive thing since I didn’t used to have a lot of muscle

The last two years have been transformative. Exactly two years ago today (pic 1), I began to incrementally build small habits geared towards a healthier, more active lifestyle. Working a physically demanding job full time only accelerated results.

My commitment to the journey has resulted in a night and day difference to my stability, happiness, and health. I wouldn’t trade this lifestyle for anything.

Moved up a size because I’ve been getting stronger and my 15 year old collection of mediums couldn’t accommodate my shoulders 😅

I saved a frog!

Went on the elliptical, took a cooldown lap at the pool, and spotted a frog in the pool

Thought nothing of it and went back to the apartment

Then my girlfriend told me the frog was probably stuck and absorbing chlorime

So I went back to the pool, went in with my clothes on to get the frog out

The receptionist came out and got a net, caught the frog and released it into a bush

Since my shorts were already wet I decided to take a cold plunge
