Yesterday marked the last day of The 75 day Hard challenge that i and a couple of the guys embarked on. 2021 without a doubt was the toughest year of my life. Having lost my Great grandmother, my grandmother and my cousin which grew up with me as my brother broke in more ways than i care to admit. Not only did they pass but i was the one the doctor told my Grandma had passed away and had to share the news to my mom that her mother had passed. I was the one that was called when my cousin was found in his apartment, then to go and find him lifeless on his couch. He had close to a week that he had passed when they found him and walking into that room with the smell of death Permeating the entire house was traumatizing to say the least. After that it was extremely hard for me to continue life as usual, i stopped working out for almost a year , i barely ate and when i did it was whatever was available hence i gained 20+ lbs. I stopped working on my business , doing any type of personal development and slowly declined into a deep depression. . No matter how successful you are or how good life may seem at the moment life will always find clever ways to bring you down to your knees and it will continue to crush you if you let. It wasn’t until April almost a year after my grandma had passed that i woke up and said i had enough! The mental state i was in was not only negatively affecting me but it was also having a huge strain on my relationship, robbing me from the joy of seeing my babies grow right in front of me. One day i woke up and said enough it’s time to get back up and start fighting back. I decided to reach out my close friends to start this challenge because i knew if i went at it alone i would surely quit on myself. So thank you @gmarte_fit @raul_fitnezz @joseldelacruz For joining me and helping me see this trough and huge shout out to @tattedprezzz for inspiring me to start this challenge that has been more than a physical transformation for me it was your consistency and progress with this challenge that inspired me to start! 🙌🏽 . I’m no where near where i once was or where i want to be but I’m proud I’m making strides forward in a positive direction!
