When I Started:
Mar, 2009
How I Started:
Father had 3 heart attacks in my twenties and early 30's...brother was temporarily blind from undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes a week before the birth of his first daughter...I've now crossed the line into clinically obese. The 180 degree turn towards improving my health has started NOW!
Why I Love It:
How I Stay Motivated:
By being inspired by others' success stories, and by the realization that I am starting off at the heaviest and fattest point of my body...knowing that I am NOT giving up on myself or giving into the idea that I'm past the point of my body being 100% shredded Canadian beef!

Quitting the race and becoming a couch potato - NOT EVEN A REMOTE OPTION IN MY LIFE ANYMORE!

It's amazing how what gets said in one area of life filters to other areas of life. When you get told, "You can't afford that daytrip" or "No, you can't race a marathon" or "Don't wear those clothes, they're too tight fitting" it can be said with protection in...
Yes the Fort St John classis is my first competition. I wasn't going to ever compete I just enjoyed the gym, but my partner talked me into it and it was a great way to focus and get better.
