What was the biggest factor in your body transformation?

“Yes, I eat a lot less now and it was right around the time I started training more for baseball”
Can you give me your workout routine on an average day?
“Uh,currently its baseball season so I don’t get to do as much as I normally do, but I still try to go home and get a little bit of ab and cardio work”
Talk me through your favorite healthy snack to make after school?
“I am personally a big fan of greek yogurt and granola, I usually get the Chobani and then the Nature Valley”
Do feel better in your new body?
“I definitely do feel better, my self-confidence level has improved. I don’t know if its exactly where it should be but its getting there”
