MY STORY
I just turned 40 years old, I'm a full-time machinist, dedicated husband, dad of two boys, and dog owner trying to balance family, work, health, and a strong pursuit of becoming the strongest, leanest, and best version of myself after turning 40.I’m a Type 1 Diabetic and have been since I was 15 years old, managing blood sugars and insulin control alone can feel like a full-time job some days. Training, food timing, recovery, energy levels, and consistency all become more complicated but I don't plan on letting that slow me down.
On top of that, I also deal with Psoriatic Arthritis (similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis).
For a long time, I let my physical and mental health spiral, I spent my mid 20's to mid 30's over eating and drinking/smoking, after losing some people from my life.
At the start of 2023 I was up over 200 lbs, carrying 30%+ body fat, eating poorly, and letting my blood sugars run out of control. I knew where that road was heading, and made the choice to change.
Over about five months I dropped roughly 40 lbs by just cutting carbs out, I had my ups and downs as time went on but managed to never go too far backwards. In 2024 I joined a gym and started lifting regularly and tracking my food.
In 2025 I got on TRT after a blood test showed I was way below the ref range and there wasn't much chance of bringing things back naturally. After a few weeks, I felt like a new man, and I guess that's when things shifted. I started tracking my workouts and using progressive overload and dialing things in. At 40, I’m now trying to build the best physique I’ve ever had.
Hopefully this log can motivate even one person dealing with diabetes, arthritis, age, setbacks, or life responsibilities to stop making excuses and start moving forward!
