I’m not big into drinking anymore.
Which is funny, because I was a bartender. I even had my own cocktail Instagram page. But I reached a point in my life where I started caring a lot more about the energy I have to give back.
I want energy for my kids.
I want energy for my family.
I want energy for my community.
I want energy for my faith.
And anything that consistently takes away from that just doesn’t fit this season of my life.
I use the phrase “locked in” all the time because that’s genuinely how I feel.
I’m locked into my faith.
Locked into my family.
Locked into my fitness.
Locked into my business.
I don’t really have room for much interference.
To some people, that probably sounds boring.
That’s okay.
Because this fills my cup.
I like waking up at 3:45 or 4:00 in the morning with so much energy that people wonder, “What the hell is wrong with this guy?”
I want to bring that energy to my classes. I want to lift heavy. I want to move well. I want to run around with my kids. I want my body to keep allowing me to do the things I love for as long as possible.
Do I enjoy going out and having a hearty, calorically dense meal? Of course I do.
But honestly, it’s rarely about the food.
It’s about the people sitting at the table with me.
I enjoy going out because I enjoy being surrounded by people I care about. The meal is just part of the experience. The connection is what I’m really there for.
And if you give me the choice?
I’d rather lift weights than go out drinking.
I’d rather eat a cheeseburger than drink a margarita. 😂
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that when you really prioritize your health, sometimes you become the outlier.
And I’m completely okay with that.
I don’t need everyone to understand the lifestyle that makes me happy.
This is who I am.
I want to be strong.
I want to be present.
I want ridiculous amounts of energy.
I want to be the best version of myself for the people who depend on me.
Call it boring.
I call it locked in.
