3 1/2 Years Out.. Just Checking In. ** UPDATED PIC **
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to check in and see how my family is doing. Sorry I havent been around often but all is great with me. I've been enjoying life and learning to live a balanced life while including things I love and staying in control. I've remained extremly active with weight lifting, jiu jitsu, and running. I still continue to monitor everything I eat, however now it just comes effortlessly and without much thought. For those of you that are early on just stick to what you know and don't cheat yourself... You can all do it!
Some of my previous posts if you didnt see my fun journey..

Maintenance is not hard if you just stick to the basics and stay mindful of what you are eating. Stay active even if just a little.
As for the Jason Statham comment you wouldnt believe how many times I've heard that. I even have the replica Jason Statham sun glasses I wore one day as a joke. :)

Good to "see" you Ryan! You have put on a lot of muscle for sure! You look fantastic, and it is even better that your healthy ways are holding true!
For those who don't know him, he dropped something like 160 pounds in 4 months post surgury. Nobody has even come close to that rate since on the boards!
