iPhone Reflections: Looking To The Past For The Formula


Was it amazing that I was on an airplane for 8 hours with no wifi? No. However, the optimist in me recognized a great opportunity to find out what other stuff I had on my iPhone. Enter, photo album.

Creeping, deleting and reflecting on my photos, I recognized something I had been recently pondering. I recognized the time in which I seemed to have hit an optimal supplement, eating, lifestyle and training routine creating my ideal physique and body image. I say this based on the way I felt, way I looked, and performance. I feel it’s important to note the way in which I am measuring success.

In the last few months, I tapered off of supplements (to see how much they helped vs. cost), changed my training routine, and scaled back drastically on my vegetable intake. In fact, if I recall correctly, in February I did not eating a single vegetable. I just tried some new ideas out. Some worked, some did not.

Looking back to my previous photos, I reviewed what I was doing at that time I hit my ‘ideal’ body image.

I think that a lot of times people want to try new ideas to achieve results, where sometimes one can look to the past for the correct formula.

For me, weighing in at “193-194-195 lbs” (for those of you that watch my YouTube videos) is no good for me, so I am choosing to look back at my previous formula for success. Here are two of the things I am bringing back.

Supplementation
   -Starting a vitamin stack again. I feel solid vitamin intake is important in achieving optimal body composition.

Cruciferous vegetables
   -High vitamin levels and food satiety (which is huge for me). There are other benefits, but those two are most important for me.

Those are two of the things I am looking to change going forward. Both of these I started today. Time to get back to 185 lbs.


Is there another time you felt more healthier, more ideal, or optimal? Can you replicate some of the things that worked for you at that time?
