I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1997. Two family members who were diagnosed since I was are now in wheelchairs due to MS. I owe it to my family to keep fighting this. Big changes going on... I'm in the process of moving to Las Vegas. Trying to stay on track through the move...
How I Stay Motivated:
I guess the right question is: How can you help but stay motivated? If you got out of bed today, you've got motivation. Sometimes, that alone is enough to be proud of. I've been back at this after some surgery and a pretty significant MS relapse. I've had to reset my goals - but they're my goals, so I guess I can do that...
I really appreciate the support that I get from this site and from friends and family. It makes all the difference.

This is how I'm starting 2007 - but will be very different than how I finish the year...
I think I gained the inch in my chest from doing more back work.
I still travel all the time, but am getting better at making time to exercise. Because of health reasons, I had to take a long break from it. Now when I think I'm going to snooze again at 5:00 am instead of heading to the gym, I remember how I used to say a few months ago, "If only I could just go run or lift!" Well, I guess I better go do something...
My resolve to fight MS is even stronger now. This last bout just ticked me off! (Probably just what I need.)
I was all excited about running today to play with the new Nike+/iPod toy, and decided with the runs yesterday, I better dial it back a little and just use the eliptical. I felt kinda like a weenie, so I did go ahead and work out legs. (That'll teach my left leg to start to go numb a bit... -...
I had a GREAT time in VEGAS... at least what I can remember of my visit! We looked for you, but didn't find you. Maybe next year? I hope you are well. Trust me, 2 sexy old ladies in Vegas = TROUBLE, but we'll be back! Have a wonderful summer! Keep working out and stay strong!
We're coming over on Cinco de Mayo. Staying for a few days of fun! Just me and My Best Gal Friend. We're camping out at Treasure Island. Maybe we can stop by and have a cold one with ya? I'll bring you some Yellow Pine Pollen - we've got plenty right about now - Achoo!
Hey JC glad to see you are still with it. Moving can be hard on a w/o routine for sure. Im still going had a cold for a while so I was slowed down a little. My wife and I will be in Vegas 1st of May for a week.
Hey, When did you leave Atlanta? You don't like us any more? I love Vegas! Me and my best friend visit every year. We'll come see you. Planning a trip ($ bonus permitting) for May of this year... we'll see you soon!
Yeah. Not sure what happened there. You sound like you are livin' the dream! Things are great here. Just trying to squeeze in everything that I want to accomplish! LOL. Safe travel, bro!
When you take off the weight I have, you get mighty picky about what you stuff down the "cake whole" -- Keep going JC! Hope you are continuing to be relentless in your fight.
