Today was a milestone for YHC as I hit my 100th workout since joining F3 in March. The impact this has had on me has been immeasurable. I knew I needed to do something to change the course I was on but like most, I failed to find the motivation to do it. For months I made excuses and put off putting in work until one day Yeehaw texted me and asked me to come to a workout. I didn’t question it or make an excuse, I just said OK knowing very well it was going to be a tough morning. Halfway through doing 20 SSH’s, I was gassed and out of breath but instead of that being a deterrent, it lit a fire and has served as my motivation. 8 months later, I am down 55 pounds, I’ve developed strong bonds with many in the Pax, and I can see in each of the three F’s where I have made gains in my life. Thank you to everyone for the support along the way, and to Yeehaw for sending me that text. Invite an FNG out, you never know what impact it could have on them.
On to the next 100 – see you in the gloom!
