I started like most kids do, as a HS athlete. I played HS and College basketball. Then a few Semi pro summer leagues and tournaments, so working out just came naturally. After a nasty car accident a few years back and then one excuse after another due to injuries and working way too much I let myself fall into the abyss and lost track of what I loved most about it all. So now I'm back and more motivated then ever!
Why I Love It:
To me the physical aspects of it fall secondary to the mental aspect of it. Working out makes me feel great! If I feel great then that radiates through the rest of my life and it's just an amazing feeling. So, although it's great to look at someone with ripped pecs and bulging biceps, it's the health aspects of it I love the most
How I Stay Motivated:
Well, first of all, I let go of all the poisons in my life, including people that were holding me back and a job I was completely unhappy with. I originally went to school for Health and Exercise science until I got hurt and lost focus, so once I decided to get back and make the changes I signed up for my NASM certification. So that's what keeps me motivated at the moment. Working towards accomplishing the goals and dreams I left behind for too long.

So today was the day for my NASM CPT exam. I actually decided not to study last night because I was confident I knew all I was going to know and a good night's sleep was going to help me out more than cramming until 3am. I was definitely feeling a little pressure when I got there though. First...
ok so keep your eyes open for the next milestone while I wait for my prize..haha...so far my week is pretty great, I finished up with finals and now some down time before fall semester, its my last one...so I'm so pumped!! Hows ur new life going??

Hey Jay!! congrats on ur exam! you must be so excited!! my weekend was pretty sweet...saw the new batman, it was awesome and today its actually sunny instead of storming like it does everyday so i'm happy about that!! how was ur weekend? what are u up to today?
6'3" dayummmmmmmm. Im 5'3", probably couldnt reach your head. Ill get on it when the weather cools down and I dont have the urge to be out of the house all the time
Thanks for the advice. I know I need to get my body fat tested. Since I'm know longer a member at a gym I should just call and see if i could get it done. And lots of people have told me that I might gain even though I was losing...a better measure would be the way clothes fit. Congrats on passing the NASM exam!!
Hey Jay,
Thanks so much for the comment you left on my blog about my little bro. It's definitely time to talk to him about it. He loves sports so I'm hoping if I take him to the park for some basketball or to the rink with me for some hockey he'll learn that being active's an easy way to avoid a lot of problems. Thanks for the advice bro!
Hey Jay, thank you very much for the comment on my blog entry. I appreciate your insight. Best of luck with getting your certification. It sure sounds and looks like you won't have a problem.
