From happy and heavy to happy and still pretty heavy

Wouldn't trade the feeling of happiness and being able to do what i love for no beer.

Wait, what!?

Hi, I'm Jumowa and I have been in love with weightlifting for 21 years now. I did several transformations already but in 2013 I collected progress fotos.

Christmas 2012 and new year's was crazy rich with all that culinary jazz that makes you happy, fat and heavy. It's a nice way of living but you won't live for very long unless laws of nature do not apply to you.

I enjoy both sides of life but I am pretty extreme in what I do. I decided to to a slice down year.

For the first two months of my new year's plan to get in shape nothing seamed to happen and metabolism was in slow motion because of a workout break prior to Christmas (didn't workout for three months). In those situations metabolism is sleeping deep in the basement and it needs several pushes, knocks and roars to finally get moving. I imagine that is the time when most people give up because the results are coming in slowly or don't show at all, but "you got to endure" through the time of working out without seeing the rewarding results, until your metabolism kicks in. It's like pushing a snowball to the edge of a cliff. As soon as it goes downhill you still have to keep pushing but gravity is working for you. Then it becomes an easy ride and the, nothing seams to happen part, is behind you. All the sudden you notice changes almost every day and you gain control back over your body. You see each consequence of choice you made directly because your body responds much faster. In such a state I always had the impression that every workout counted because the impact was noticeable.

That's how I did it.

All you have to do now is keep working out and not fall back into bad eating and drinking habits... HAHAHA!

Thank you for stopping by. Leave a vote if this video helped you do some pushups today.

Best wishes,
