I want you all to meet my awesome friend, Tim London. I had the honor of meeting Tim and getting to know him a bit....but when I saw that he posted this photo and he said these words....I got goosebumps! For many years I have struggled with my weight. I would go up and down. Some times keeping it off for a few months always to see the weight come back. You see, I never seemed to have the right motivation. I would work hard up to some event just to see all my hard work go down the tubes. Im a husband and a father to 5 beautiful children and a couple years ago the light went off that I didnt want to lose weight for me but needed to not just lose weight but get healthy for them. I Love to be active and a part of their lives. I do not want to be a side line dad. Then it turned out having the right reasons and motivation to get healthy didnt make it any easier. There were times I wanted to just give up. Be happy being the big guy kind of in shape. Then something happened. I found beachbody. More like it found me. Not only did it find me, Im now a coach and in the last couple months my life has had major changes. Biggest is the positive attitude towards a happy healthy lifestyle. It is a full on family affair. Im so excited to start a life of helping my family friends and anyone else I can live a happy healthy life. and then he went on to say... So when our baby was born, I swore Id be in the best shape of my life. Well I wasnt-actually was as big as Ive ever been. I was unhappy with myself at what should have been a time of joy. Since then I have been up and down with my weight. Im now on a mission to get fit & healthy the right way. My wife and children deserve it. His children and his wife deserve it! I dont know about you, but that gives me goosebumps. I remember being SO PISSED OFF that my dad died of a heart attack because he ate unhealthy and I was left to deal with life without him at age 28. And then I realized what a hypocrite I was being. I was at MY personal largest, judging my dad for something he paid for with his life! And I stopped. Then and there. Does crappy food taste good? Heck yeah it does....or we wouldnt be the obese nation that we are today, right? But that taste is only momentarily! And then its GONE and you are left having to deal with the crap it felt behind. And who has time for that?? Seriously. So while, Ill admit, crappy food can hit the spot sometimes, is it worth it? Is that crappy food worth giving up precious time with YOUR husband, wife, kids, grandkids, friends, co-workers, loved ones? What means more to you? Crappy food? Or your life? Your family? Your precious friends who love and adore you? Okay. Thats it for tonight. Emotional Wednesday, yall. Its 10:15 pm. My internet privileges have been revoked. lol
