Overall Goal: BANG...that's the sound of my scale hitting the bottom of the garbage can. NEW GOAL, to get leaner, more flexible, stronger and maybe put on a pair of 32 jeans!
Fit Status:
Thank goodness for HIIT workout today! I think I need to do two tomorrow.
When I met my now best friend Greg. He was dedicated to fitness and bodybuilding and he inspired me to take a long look at myself and I didn't like what I saw.
Why I Love It:
I love the stress relief of the pump. I love the friendly faces I see at my gym and the great people you meet.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have always been heavy even as a child. I got in the best shape of my life shortly after high school and let it all slip away when I transfered away from home for college. So once I started to get back into shape, I remembered how much I loved the feeling. I kinda motivated by addiction. Is that crazy? Wierd?
BB Accomplishments:
Loosing 65 Lbs and being asked by two trainers and competitors at my gym to participate in a local show sponsered by my gym, Body Exchange Fitness.

This is from 2005 when my good friends wedding in Vegas. It's hard to remember looking that way, but it was the truth. I'm not sure how much I weighed, but it was greater than 270.
BANG...that's the sound of my scale hitting the bottom of the garbage can. NEW GOAL, to get leaner, more flexible, stronger and maybe put on a pair of 32 jeans!
Goal (Long):
I would like to tighten up, slim down and reduce my body fat from it's current 23% down to around 10% and participate in a local show on June 20, 2009. I don't have intentions of being a consistent competitor, but I would like to participate in this one show. I would like to walk on stage and showcase my hard work and take pride in what I've accomplished thus far and what I have planned for the near future.
Who wouldn't be inspired my Marion? She puts in work like no other I know. Early morning workouts, 2 a days, teaches martial arts and the importance of physical fitness to the next generation, what more do I have to say? And when it comes to P90X, to hell with keeping up with Tony Horton, I wanna keep up with Marion! Airborne plyo pushups, 1 arm pushups and pullups for days! She is superwoman.
I went back home to St Louis, Mo last week for some much needed R&R. I took my resistance bands and had half-ass intentions to get something done, but honestly I didn't want to! I wanted to be a lazy slob, drink, eat and be unhealthily happy....and I did. I had french fries a couple of...
Hey man, things are good, back lifting this week and oddly my wrist is feeling better for it. So I'm over the moon. We dont do thanks giving here in the UK, which is rubbish, as i love turkey! Hope yours was good though.
Happy thanks giving bro. As far as the stage things goes I'm far from that. I need to continue to break down this fat body. I'm still grinding and I hope that next year this time I can look at my self and see even better progress.
Things are going well after a 2 week mess-up. Feeling very committed; was at the gym 2x yesterday - a workout in the a.m., and swimming lessons in the afternoon.
Nervous about that Thanksgiving meal? I don't blame you man. Try drinking a LOT of water that day. Also try eating your meal extra slow, so that way you don't overfill before your body gets a chance to tell you "I'm full". Thanksgiving meal is a weakness for me, and I'm actually a little thankful that I'm deployed right now and won't be able to indulge. Enjoy brotha!
