Ghosts of Fitness Past
I don’t talk about my upbringing (the hard parts) often. We didn’t know most people had plumbing, running water, or that folks didn’t hang blankets in doorways and windows to keep drafts out of the warmest room. We lived on what food came from the garden, eggs from the chickens, and the cheapest foods from Save-A-Lot (ramen, Vienna sausages, powdered milk, and canned foods). My husband looks at me like I’m crazy because to this day, eating cold veggies or beans directly from the can is my preference, but we only had a kerosene heater to heat food sometimes, and I didn’t like waiting or holding a hot tin can in my hand.

How My Weight Loss Journey Influenced My Whole Life Journey!
HEY Y'ALL!! Yes, that's me above. And to be very clear, it's two different "mes" in both photos. I don't mean that by just the physical appearance. By how you can see my skin looks different between the two, or by how you can see the difference in the weight in my face. When I started losing weight, not only did my body become different but so did my mind, spirit, and soul!!

What Weighs You Down
Let’s be honest. None of us, not even the most confident of us, are always on the top of our game. Though we often expect ourselves to be. And if there is one thing you hear about in a weight lifting community, it’s grit. Defined as courage and resolve, or strength of character. When you are trying to pull a bar twice your bodyweight off the ground or stand it up out of the hole, you're going to need courage and resolve. You’re going to need strength of character to back up your physical strength because no amount of physical strength will accomplish that feat alone.

My Continuous Weight Loss Journey
Well hello there all you readers, I would like to introduce my name. My name is Hunter. I am not perfect and I do make mistakes. One thing I'm good at is taking pictures of myself but not just to take them. I recently bought these pair of jeans and crop top at Target. They were a pretty good deal. Today I'm here to show you how great I've been doing with my new lifestyle. I do have losses and wins. So in this story I will describe how they happened.

Workout week 1
So I recently got into consistently working out. I used to on and off workout and used to be very self-conscious about weight. I am still a little self-conscious about my weight, but working out helps. Since quarantine started I needed things to do, to keep me busy. I realized I wasn't happy with my weight and how I looked. I ended up browsing around trying to find a workout routine that would work for me since some of my other attempts didn't really work out for me. So while browsing around I found the youtube called Chloe Ting. I saw some of her result videos and thought "Why not give it a try?"

Phwoar! Look at that specimen!
In January 2020 I decided I wanted to lose some weight so I fired up an app on my phone, began religiously recording every calorie I consumed and made an effort to have a deficit of about 500 calories a day from the 2,500 recommended limit. It was miserable.

2 Years of the Wim Hof Method
Doctors and swab-taking, needle-poking nurses have said for years I don't have an immune deficiency but that didn't stop me from ending up in the hospital several times from immune responses that were akin to blowing up a house just because a window needs replacing.
