THICC (my shocking transformation)
This was also published as an email to my list. If you want to join (and get a free email copywriting ebook in the process)…
So I did something a little crazy my sophomore year of college...
(I'm actually not talking about getting trashed. That was freshman year.)
It all started with a decision…
The decision to "get straight up jacked." I mean to "try and put on some muscle."
So I hit the gym a few times per week...
And proceeded to devour everything in sight.
I was eating between 4,000 and 5,000 calories per day — which is NOT as fun as it sounds.
I was practically force-feeding myself.
Each morning, I would wake up and make a 1,200 calorie protein shake that included 2 raw eggs, olive oil, and a hefty scoop of peanut butter.
And just in case one Super Deluxe Monster Shake wasn't enough…
I'd drink another one before bed too.

Well...it worked.
I started the semester around 165 pounds. And over the course of 3.5 months…
I got up to a whopping 202 pounds.
I gained 37 pounds in a single semester.
I was THICC.
I'm happy to report that I am now back to my pre-THICCness weight of 165ish (probably even less now).
But it was a fun experiment. And it was cool to see how big of a change I could make with consistency and dedicated effort.
Which brings me to my point…
Right now, we have a blank canvas.
Our commutes have plummeted to a whopping 0 miles…
Our social lives are mostly virtual — if they exist at all…
And we haven't had this much free time on our hands since we were kids.
So pick a goal...
Put in some consistent and dedicated effort...
And make the most of this season.
Stay THICC, not sick.
