I had been batteling weight issues for for a long time. I had ballooned to over 330lbs and had started worrying about my health. Then after Christmas my mother had a heart attack and it went way wrong.I saw her her in the hospital and it scared me really bad. I looked at myself and for the first time saw myself as I really was.Fat out of shape and a heart attack in waiting.
Untill that day I had never looked at my self as anything other than fit hot and ready for anything.
What a rude awakening to see your self for what you really are.
I have 2 young boys and they are my power. I never want to let them down or hurt them. After seeing my Mom in the hospital I told my self that my boys will not see me like that if I can help it.
I went to the gym and have not looked back.
Why I Love It:
I love the setting goals and blasting them apart. I love the PAIN the success the people and the clank of the IRON!!
How I Stay Motivated:
seeing what I am made of. pushing past failure.. setting a goal and exceeding it!!

Thanks. ;) how are you doing? Did you have a spooky Halloween? We had to cut ours short due to more sickness. I think it totally wiped us all out this week. Take care and have a great week.
Hi Chuck...I'm working hard...trying to stick to a diet...but had pizza and ice cream last night. I was so hungry after running and just wanted to enjoy myself. Ice cream is my weakness ;). How are you doing with finding that inner monster? Keep working hard!
