Since the beginning of the year, I've been struggling to find my niche on the entertainment side of my ambition. During the late winter early spring, I got the bug to pursue acting and modeling. I felt like they go hand and hand, but I never put my first love (bodybuilding) aside. I always knew, then, that if things weren't going the way I thought they would, I can always go back to slamming heavy metal.
200lbs
My resume and experience had a great boom. I was featured on a successful web-series, national print for MLB, pilot shows, modeling competitions, etc. I loved it, but didn't like the fact that I was down to 193lbs. Though I felt like I looked great in some of the shots I took, I didn't feel at ease. I truly felt like something was missing. Basically, I felt incomplete.
190lbs
One thing I did love was the fashion that Jillian Valentine (1/2 Sweet Life CEO) introduced me to. I was able to fit into skinny jeans, tight shirts, scarfs, etc. I was killing it on a daily basis, but their was always something eating at me from the inside. My regin in skinny jeans lasted a good 2/3's of the year because the love of metal finally dragged me back in.

This past September, I vowed to myself that I will never put bodybuilding in the backseat ever again. Since then, I have went from 193lbs up to 218lbs and I feel great. My nutrition has me taking in between 350 grams to 410 grams of protein daily spaced out into 8 meals. I'm up at 4am - 430am 7 days out of the week and the first thing I hit is a 40-50 gram whey protein shake. 2 hours later I'm eating 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites and 40 - 50 grams of complex carbs with 24- 36 oz of water. I don't have time to play anymore games. I know now that this is the lifestyle I want and I'm damn proud of it.
218lbs and loving it
I am on right on track to step on stage in 18 months, God willingly. Never side step a dream. Always stride towards glory. Life comes around once, why stay stagnant in something your not 100% about. If your heart isn't in it, step away and listen to what your heart wants.
Never Let Go
Die Hard Live Strong,
