I’ve gained some weight (intentionally), but most of that is muscle. I’ve seen strength gains in ways I never thought possible (like being […]

I have been extremely fortunate to have been blessed with some great skinny-genes from my Dad’s side of the family, while still having a little bit of curves on the bottom half from my Mom’s side. That being said, I’m able to eat endless amounts of pasta and tortilla chips without gaining a pound (I know, hate […]

Since I started my new training plan over six weeks ago, I have definitely become more discipline with my work out schedule and my eating habits. I’ve committed to three days a week at the gym, and have been tracking my progress using the Jefit app. I’ve passed on the usual chips-and-salsa lunches, avoided the […]
