A few years ago, I was facing divorce and needed something to keep me in the right frame of mind. I lost my job, and didn't feel like my wife was very supportive. I immersed myself in the gym, and successfully took off a total of 72 lbs. I have gained a bit of it back because I got comfortable, when my relationship seemed to be getting better. Well the truth is, it's not all that much better, and I refuse to go back to that hole I was in, feeling sorry for myself! I am taking up the Transformation Challenge, and can't wait to prove to myself that I am worth it.

I love working out because it keeps me focussed. I don't think about all the external stuff that is going on around me. When I hit the gym, i go in and workout for 1.5 to 3 hours at a time, and I only think about how good it makes me feel. When you are in a bad place, like I have been in the past, you just gotta figure it out. Some people choose suicide, i choose life! And I choose a better life for myself and for my awesome kids!!!!
