In September '06 I found out I had a brain tumor on my pituitary gland. It was causing all sorts of complicated hormonal issues and if it wasn't taken care of I could die at an early age! Basically I have what Andre the Giant has only I developed it later on in life so I didn't grow really tall. Anyway I was almost 200 lbs and decided to take control of my life. I started working out to get healthy and control my stress levels...needless to say I became addicted and humbled by what discipline and hard work can do for the body!
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel! I love how when I am at the Gym (my second home) all my problems seem to go away. Even if it is for an hour or two.
How I Stay Motivated:
I always am setting new goals!
BB Accomplishments:
Have yet to achieve them!
