When I Started:
Oct, 2009
How I Started:
Blood tests and body comp test reveal extreme health risks. Testosterone was down, Leptin levels were up and estrogen levels were also elevated. Perfect situation for the body to make fat and keep my appetite raging out of control. All my fat gets stored in my upper body area and that's considered an extreme health risk in men my age. Time to change all this. And I am.
Why I Love It:
The body is actually an energy system. Strength training and cardio both helps this energy system be strong and vibrant. I love that feeling that my changing body means I can alter at least this aspect of my "reality". It is empowering and builds extreme confidence.
How I Stay Motivated:
Just thinking about how I feel when I don't take good care of my body is one way. Since joining Bodyspace, I have found many GREAT members here who also inspire me. Also I honor and respect my body and want to give to it what it needs. When I do for it, it always does for me.
BB Accomplishments:
2002 placed in top 6 percent in the nation in Body For Life. So far that's it. I also love to produce social media scale videos that entertain, teach and inspire everyday men and women in pursuit of a healthier and/or sexier body. I've been fortunate to have Bodyspace members help me with some videos by providing me with their health/fitness stories and pics to use in my videos. That's very cool.

Getting old is natural. Feeling old is optional.
Lose one more pound by Monday to reach 20 pounds scale weight dropped in 30 days.
Goal (Long):
My ultimate goal is to keep myself healthy. Being 57 years old has a way of putting the really important things in perspective. Healthy and fitness are 1 and 2 on my priority list. Because without your health, nothing else in life matters. I learned that lesson while working as a male nurse in hospitals, rehab centers and in home care for about 6 years. I felt so bad for so many of the people I cared for because their health and body problems could have been completely avoided in most cases. If they had just chosen to take better care of themselves through the years. Eat clean, nutritious foods. Give their body some exercise of some kind. Learn how to relax and rest through the night. I choose now to take the path of living healthy. I love my independence and ability to be self sufficient. Plus, yes I'll admit it, I do like the idea of looking like a sexy older gentleman. Ha! Sure is weird saying that. But life moves on for us all and, I beleive that while getting old is natural, growing old is optional.
I hope too that someday in some way I can be an inspiration to men 50+ to recalim their health and their physique... if for no other reason than just for the fun of it. It is fun!
I can just tell she is sincere and genuine about her fitness and her life. That inspires me. Plus I watched her competition video and I believe I see real talent and potential there. I believe we will all one day see Tani on a mag cover, on TV, maybe a movie... some place I'm sure.
Looks great. It's not easy to look like this at any age for most people. Especially someone in their mid 50's. I'll be in my late 50's next year-2010. I want to get to anywhere close to to this.
Hormones. I know, it's not a comfortable topic for most guys. In fact, I know several guys that I'd just bet they don't know they have hormones. Male hormones are seriously in the shadows of our female counter-parts. Male hormones are rarely the monthly topic in my household. I'm thinking...
Thanks for telling me about the VID. :)I contacted Admin and he told me the glitch is gone... so the videos should be running again as normal. Yay! How's it going? Have a great wkend!

You know I wish you luck but you don't need it. You are so VERY close to that goal...just think about how fantastic it's going to feel to get there. Believe me, there isn't a single food item that you could eat that would give you that feeling (nor a couch that is that darn comfortable)! I am so looking forward to good news on that front Monday morning!!
I saw your video...and thought it was fantastic. I played it three times. It was visually very appealing and you have SUCH a nice voice. I was quite impressed with the quality of the whole thing!
Thanks Tim! The video turned out great! I have posted it on my profile and I am blogging about so everyone can see it. I am sure you are going to get lots of requests! You need to turn it into a side business! :)
Great, I look forward to seeing the video! Haha...Maybe next month your body will produce more amino acids and it will give you a little more room to think those studly thoughts! :)
Hi! I wanted to touch base with you and make sure you got my note on Saturday. I had all kinds of strange technical difficulties yesterday and it made me a little worried. I posted a blog with conversation in it. It was properly punctuated when I wrote it but it posted all smashed together. I tried to post a pic in my gallery and ended up with two of the same. Those are only two of many examples! I just wanted to make sure my pm got to you!! Happy Tuesday!
I checked out your blog and video too. Pretty cool. When are you doing this? :)

Snowing like a blizzard at the north pole here this morning. Think I'll get my 8 tiny reindeer out of the garage and do some extreme sleighing today!!!
