When I Started:
Jul, 2007
How I Started:
I realized one day I have 50% of my mom's DNA, whether I liked it or not. She passed from a mixture of diabetes, lung cancer, lymphoma and heart disease. If I want to live to be an old healthy fart, I needed to get healthy now and stay healthy.
Why I Love It:
A great stress reliever. In for cardio every morning, back for wieghts at night. I have become a workout psycho. Its what I do, it's what I think about. I push it as had as I can every time i go. The guys who admire "the 300" have it just right.
How I Stay Motivated:

BB Accomplishments:
I just managed to bench my weight for the first time in my life. My strength has at least doubled and I've lost and added back over 40 pounds since I started. I needed a new wardrobe... again! Pants are too big, shirts are too small. I like it.

I want to be fit, healthy, vital and sexy. I want a great competitive attitude and to approach all aspects of life expecting to win. Setbacks should be rare!
this member has shown the most improvement overall I have ever seen. Great determination and discipline have made this effort happen. That inspires me more then anything else!
I had a couple of dizzy spells and started to get chronic headaches and finally decided to see my GP. He sent me to a Neurologist who sent me to get an MRI. After getting my MRI I recieved a phone call from him that stated "I want you to cancel your trip to Japan and I need to see...
I can't say the stress now is any less but it is different. As I got older the stress changed. Kids got to be teenagers...my health was greatly compromised.I had choices to make. It'll always be something I have to work at.
