Introduction

Hi steemit community!

My name is Connor (AKA prysmicmind) and I am obviously new to the steemit community! I'm 16 years old and I plan on becoming a physical therapist in the future. I am an avid movie fan and i also enjoy writing and learning languages.
I am currently learning German, Spanish, and Swahili. My best language however, is Spanish due to the availability of a Spanish class in my high school. The others are all independent study.

When I was 10 years old i gained a lot of weight over a summer and I have been struggling with my weight ever since. The first time I made any progress in my weight loss came from when I made the decision to strop drinking soda. I quickly shed around 15 pounds and this gave me the motivation to continue. I started going to the gym with my older brother once a week and started to see progress with my strength however I was not making much progress with my weight loss. The real progress came from when I started physical therapy for my back (Just a muscle issue and the ligaments were stretched out from popping my back too much) One of the ways he fixed my back was through core exercises which helped strengthen the muscles in my back reinforcing the ligaments so that they could return to their former glory haha. but this helped me learn how to exercise even better. I learned how to maintain my diet and used that to my advantage seeing as I was young and I knew I would grow. sure enough I sprouted up to a tall 6'1" and the weight became more evenly distributed making me appear much thinner. I continued to work out and slowly replaced the fat with muscle. My journey isn't over but I haven't quit yet :).

I am very excited to get to know people in this community and contribute my own 2 cents every once in a while. Thank you for reading. :)
