Got started working out when I realized that my youthful metabolism was decreasing slowly but surely. After battling some horrible rounds with cancer I knew I wanted to always be healthy and look as good as I can.
Why I Love It:
Makes me feel good! I love living a healthy lifestyle (although I cheat a lot). Getting past the temptations of bad food is the hardest part.
How I Stay Motivated:
My wife joins me at the gym, I have to bust my ass in the gym to keep up with her looking so good.
One of my best friends is a person trainer, and he constantly kicking my ass with new workouts, I hate him somedays:)
Staying healthy and feeling good about myself is the biggest motivator of all.
BB Accomplishments:
Getting back in shape has been very hard since my battles with cancer. Going from my death-bed, to playing soccer (my 2nd love) in the past 2 years has been hard. But now I play 3-4 games a week and hit the gym whenever I can. After all the chemo I was down -30 lbs, then got fat months afterward after eating myself back into weight, and then some, the atrpohy was so bad I couldn't workout, so I just gave up:(
NO MORE OF THAT!

This is what laid me out before I started to get back in shape. Stage 4 cancer, I had 17% chance of living before all the chemo and surgeries. Its been a long bumpy road...
Way to conquer overwhelming odds. Stories like yours is what give pure inspiration to many. I hope my story beating cancer (so far) does the same. You look great, and should be very very proud.
So, if I get this, you went from a having a body racked with cancer, to a body descimated by chemo, to a body bound in fat, to that body pictured in your profile that would make women drool and men envy you.
Man, you're unbelievable. I wish you continued success in every area of your life. Maybe you should consider being a motivational speaker to teens and adolescents.
Congrats!
Jim
