How old were you when you had your first real drink?

My first time getting properly drunk was on my Church Ski Retreat. My buddy Rob had stole a bottle of Old Weller 107 proof Bourbon from his dad and smuggled it up the mountain while we sat in the back of the bus listening to Nirvana with the cute girls. I was 12 he was 13. Smoked my first cig later that night. We got kicked off the mountain the next morning and escorted back home.

Even at 12 we all want to get out of our heads. Quiet our insecurities. Feel in the moment.

Now I do it once a day in the gym.

You have complete control over your life.

You can change anything you want.

You are powerful.

You are in control.

It may take time.

It may not be easy.

Anything you can conceive of is within your power.

Inspirational quotes aside, that before pic is after I had lost 60lbs of fat and started to build some muscle. I was so proud. I still am proud of that person. It takes a lot of hard work to make a drastic change. The pic from this week is what happens when you stay on that path and don’t go back to your old habits. It takes less work to maintain your progress, you get in the habit of living a new lifestyle, and the returns compound over time.

Wherever you are in your journey through this world, just know that you are capable of changing anything. You are the architect of your universe.

If you’re looking for a coach to guide you in your fitness journey and you want a plan to follow, workouts that will push you and maximize your time investment, nutrition guidance that allows you to enjoy your favorite foods, and accountability to take your motivation to the next level…

DM me and let’s talk 1:1 coaching.

New album ‘Love Crash’ out today (listen at link in bio). “Cracked open and not sleeping, I reached for the guitar,” says Block. “In retrospect, each song ended up being the rung of a ladder that led me out of a very dark place. It was a rich vein of heartbreak to mine, and I made it out—but, just barely. I've never been more proud of an album in my life!”
