How I did it: I just kept up the running and pushed myself every single time that I went for a run. I had some good days and some bad ones, and ended up having to push very hard to finally do the run in 19:52. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I set a goal and set my mind to accomplishing my goal. I gave myself 16 weeks to eat well and follow an exercise plan that would make me lose fat, gain muscle, and get into the best shape of my life. The results are satisfying and I am very proud of what I've accomplished. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I looked at books and searched on the internet for an exercise plan that I liked.

I’m lucky in that I’m definitely not in over my head, but I still feel stuck. I can’t afford to take a job where I get paid less. So I’m trapped in this career at least. I could still potentially move somewhere else in the US if I am willing to stay in this line of work.
