This week I open up about missing last week’s episode and why exhaustion mentally, physically, and creatively has been hitting hard.
I share the highs and lows of the past seven days: hitting a new low weigh-in at 223.5, getting crushed by iPhone launch madness at work, slipping on my diet, and fighting through one of the toughest gym sessions yet.
I also talk about craving change, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why focusing on what we can control diet, attitude, discipline, and consistency is the key to progress. Even on the hard weeks, showing up matters.
