UNBELIEVERS
I started working out at the college gym around August 2015. During those first few months, I didn't know what I was doing. I was just picking up weights and putting them down. No nutrition. No cardio. No workout plan. Just random stuff.
January 2016, I registered at a better gym, and have been going strong since then except for taking time off for another surgery in November.
I don't write about my personal life much on Facebook, but recently I've had friends ask me if I take any pills or drink anything, which has helped build my body. Playfully and truthfully, I've said no.
But this bothers me.
In my peak period when I'm not dealing with insomnia, I work out five times a week. Golds Gym PG. Each of my workout session goes for approximately two hours. Therefore, if you calculate that you'll get ten hours of workout each week, which doesn't include riding my bike around the city during the summer months.

We chatted for a bit and he told me my body looks good. I was happy. Now that's someone recognizing a passion of yours and instead of asking what shortcut you took asked how hard did you work for

    When I first started Crossfit, everything seemed foreign. Going to the gym left me feeling as if I had entered an entirely different dominion--one in which men and women became beasts, knowing only how grunt loudly while lifting heavy weights at incredible speeds. I started off frightened by the prospect of being isolated in such an unfamiliar setting, but as time progressed, my sense of detachment slowly dissipated. Outgoing as I am, I sought out ways to strike conversation with the “locals.” The first topic I found a mutual interest in was Star Wars; who knew such jock-like people could be such geeks like me?…

    Growing up, I became adept at running away from people, problems and my fears. When I was younger, I was the victim of bullying being a shy, awkward and overweight child. Not wanting to be a burden to the adults in my life, I dealt with these problems alone, choosing to run instead. At the time, I had no idea that I would be subjecting myself to years of failure, all because I chose to let fear paralyze me. I was in my junior year of high school when I first discovered the weight room.…
