“I was fat, but I didn’t want to be fat anymore, so I started working
out. I’ve made progress on my goals, but I still have a lot more
progress to make. Getting into it at first was hard. Now I enjoy it a
lot! I have a split, but I kind of just do what I want everyday. A split
is the muscle group that you train. I do push, pull, and legs which
is basically chest, triceps, shoulders, back, biceps, and then legs. I
just repeat it. When I was starting, I didn’t really have any idea what
I was doing. Now, I know a lot more. I talked to people, used the
internet, watched Youtube, and looked at Instagram. All of that stuff
helped me. Sometimes I go workout with friends, but it’s a lot faster
when I’m by myself. I can do more in less time but I still do like to go
with friends. I try to encourage people like my roommates to go, but
they’re too lazy. I’ve given up! They’re not going to come. I also track
my calories and protein to meet my goals. My favorite food to eat is
chicken breasts. They’re solid. I cut it up and cook it so that I can use
it on all sorts of things like pizzas or quesadillas. I can even make
orange chicken. It has a lot of uses!”
