Was always pretty athletic growing up and no injuries. But at 21 I completely ruptured my left Achilles tendon while playing basketball. Shortly after getting back into sports I dislocated my shoulder. My shoulder kept falling out of place and eventually it required surgery. A year later I had gained about 25 lbs. This was about June of 2007. Not having as good a conditioned body as I used to have, I am determined to be as fit as I can while staying injury free.
Why I Love It:
An escape from the rest of my world. And gives me a great sense of accomplishment that is achievable every single day. When you learn to be disciplined with working out you can learn to be disciplined in other areas of your life.
How I Stay Motivated:
Not wanting to fall back to where I started from.
BB Accomplishments:
Staying out of physical therapy and the operating room for 18+ months. Losing the 25-30 lbs I gained while injured.
