I started lifting and running many years ago when I joined the Army. Upon discharge I just let it all go because I "didn't have to anymore." I became a Beachbody coach in 2012 and it almost immediately sparked my interest again in working out. Now if I miss a day I'm disappointed in myself. To transform myself from the 250 lbs that I've become to the 200 lbs I desire to be will be hard. I'm confident that I can achieve my goal. Will I be an Arnold or a Jay Cutler? Hell no! Will I be healthy and fit to enjoy my upcoming retirement? Hell YES!!

The gym is my "ME" time. It allows me to challenge myself, to do something that makes me healthy and fit so I can enjoy my family long into retirement, and it reduces my stress/PTSD dramatically. I feel fantastic after leaving the gym. It is my therapy.
