It has been a year since I decided to give macros a try. I had been working out and eating pretty healthy but just plateauing. I met with Braden, my coach for the first time and he was so confident that I was going to lose fat and get ripped. His confidence made me curious, can this actually happen for me? Wow. One year later and I’m not stopping. Macros will be in my life for years to come. I have hit goals I never thought I would achieve. I have bought a cage ! And lifting heavy! What ?! And loving my workouts. And love my relationship with food. But the absolute best thing that this has taught me is I am making long term goals for my health. This new journey is in my blood now and I am in this for the long term benefits, no more quick wins. And I have a new level of confidence. Yes, the confidence of walking around in a swimsuit and killing it…but also the calmness, the happiness, all of that, that equals confidence. Thank you, Braden for helping me build this foundation of health that will last a lifetime.
