When I Started:
May, 2009
How I Started:
I am tired of feeling fat, tired and lazy. I want to be fit and healthy for my wife, children and myself. So I have gotten a membership at a local gym.
Why I Love It:
Since I have started I feel a lot less depressed. I am sleeping better, and have more energy. I like to challenge myself. I want to prove to myself that I can do this.
How I Stay Motivated:
When I told my wife and friends that I was not touching a beer until I could see my abs, they all laughed at me. That was all the motivation I needed.
BB Accomplishments:
I got my membership at the gym. That's about it so far.

He reminds me that bodybuilding is more than a sport, it is a lifestyle. The only opponent is your doubt. I want to be an old superman when I grow up. LOL. Results come with patience and consistency. He reminds me to get off my ass and do it. No more excuses.
His before and after pics are amazing. I respect him a lot for creating Wheelchair Bodybuilding INC. He toke the cards that life gave him and make a Royal Flush.
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
I think that Brad Pitts shape in Fight Club is a realistic goal. Not super big but well defined with a low body fat percentage.

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I often look at the previous work-out and mentally picture lifting more than the last time. just the atmosphere when entering the gym gets me motivated.

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped and/or changed your family life?
I like the fact that my healthy lifestyle is a good example for my children. Even at a young age they understand that proper nutrition is important. Plus training really helps me keep my mood positive. Hopefully I will be able to train with my boys when they get bigger. I also train with my spouse Michele so that is a fun activity that we can do together.I like the fact that my healthy lifestyle is a good example for my children.

We often seem to put so much importance on our exterior beauty and strenght, while often neglecting to nurture and focus our inner beauty and strenght. Like polishing the outside of a glass while leaving the inside dirty. We are taught from a young age all the skills needed to get ahead in...
Hey man, I just now read your comment from back in July. Thanks!
My diet is "ok". I dont have the money to eat healthy... I'm a college kid living on my own with my own money. But i'll see what I can do.
Glad to hear you're doing awesome man! Lookin like what you're doing is working. I'm still in the game but going through somewhat of a schedule change so not getting in the plan of attack how I'd want but I'll get it straight.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post. It does sound like we are covering a lot of the same ground and looking at it the same way. Congrats to you and continued success.
you are progressing really well and if you are only doing fruits/veggies for carbs, I would say you are in good shape! let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks, I wish my boyfriends motivation was like yours, if he stopped drinking he would lose the pounds he wants to. "When I told my wife and friends that I was not touching a beer until I could see my abs, they all laughed at me. That was all the motivation I needed"
because im really out of it. i do everything im suppose to but my attitude is kind of weak and i beleive that attitude changes everything i can be doing everything perfectly right but if i dont beleive in it then it wont happen...:P
