I've always admired the guys and girls on the covers of Fitness and Bodybuilding Mags and have always wanted to have that body so in 1996 having been partying and smoking for 3 years in college (as you do), I decided I wanted to get in Shape, so started training and reading.

It has helped me mentally and physically get through some tough times in my life by giving me a goal to focus on.

I had several surgical operations between 2006-2007 to remove my large intestine etc and working out and fitness gave me a focus.
