Reminder, no meeting tomorrow since we’ll be meeting at up Southern Star Brewing Company in Conroe at 12pm. The address is: 3525 N Frazier St Conroe, TX 77303 United States It opens at 12pm so I’ll get there around that time and get a table or area big enough for whoever wants to pull up. Feel free to let other ELITE guys or whoever know since it’s an open area. Really looking forward to catching up with everyone!

Guys, with this weekend looking pretty ugly with heavy rain and possible freeze, it’s probably safer to postpone the hangout for another weekend. I know Deonte mentioned Feb 7th wouldn’t work, then it’s Valentine’s Day the following weekend, so I’m thinking we could do Feb 21st or 28th. But we can discuss in the coming weeks. Hope y’all have been having a solid week and looking forward to checking in with everyone this Saturday during our regular check-in.

I had my 5K race on January 10th and it opened mt eyes to where I stand on my health journey and it has shown me what I need to start doing from this point on. It's time to lock in and make progress. We plan to run more of these in the future and i plan to be ready for the rest of them more than I was on 01/10/2026.

Happy New Years guys, this Saturday we’ll do our 2026 goal planning! Can’t thank y’all enough for always being there on Saturdays. Personally this is the best year I’ve had goal/health wise to date and a lot of it was because of the accountability and knowing everyone was also working towards accomplishing their goals. Some highlights from this past year, and I know I’m forgetting a lot but; - Gatlin & Joe welcoming their daughters to the world - Gatlin finishing Grad School - Mike starting Grad School and already crushing it - Bash dropping 40+ lbs of body fat and building around 15+lbs of muscle - Joe getting his AWS Certification - David getting engaged & getting a house - Jose changing careers - Mark moving back to Texas - Martin getting his job and getting promoted - Deonte & Ramon graduating and landing their first jobs post graduation - Alfonso getting his drive back, leaving target and getting set up to land another career role - Serg getting through months of a government shutdown with no pay and similar to Alfonso getting ready to land another career role in the coming months - I was able to get 263 workouts in this year (tracked on my yearly calendar) Guys, seriously excited to see what 2026 has in store for us!
