How I got to where I am now as an athlete Level Up in OCR

In this episode I talk about losing 100lbs twice and the evolution of my relationship with food, fitness, and spartan racing. I and was overweight as a kid, teen, and adult. I always felt like I wasn't athletic or coordinated and like my coaches didn't value my efforts when it came to sports. I started yo yo dieting in college and once lost a lot of weight for all the wrong reasons. Life happened and as a result of losing weight for the wrong reasons and not the right way I gained it all back. In April 2016 I started a new weight-loss journey, this time making sure that fitness was a key component. Three trainers and different types of training and 105 lbs lost later I am now a dedicated OCR athlete. I race age group in Spartan races and have had a few podiums but most importantly I have discovered myself and my love for being fit and pushing my own limits. This episode lays out my story over the past 4 years. There were ups and downs but all the parts make me the athlete and confident mentally strong human I have today. My journey will be an important piece of this podcast moving forward.
