In November 2010 I decided to commit to change my life forever. I was sick and tire of being sick and tired I was 300 lbs. By 2012 I had lost 100 lbs and got down to 195 lbs. In 2012 I went through some tremendously challenging times both for me personally and my family that has forever changed us. During that time part of my coping mechanism was to hit the gym and to hit the weights HEAVY. I ended up putting on 40 lbs. At first I was embarrassed and ashamed because the scale said I was going in the wrong direction. THIS PICTURE is of me today. I am heavier. But Im still in what I consider great shape. My blood pressure is great and so is my resting heart rate. I have just completed two half marathons within a two week period. I am happy and am now starting to accept where Im at. I havent been posting many pictures of myself because my body is different. But it is what it is. Im happy because I never quit. Im happy because Im strong inside and out. Im happy because of how much Ive learned about how to be a healthy and complete person. I have shied away from posting relevant helpful information, releasing my books, and launching my website. BUT NO MORE. Ive hinted at these in past post. But have felt that I lost some credibility because Id added more weight and felt self conscious. Ive come to realize thats not a reason to stop sharing my knowledge, and adding value to others lives. When I started this journey I would have loved to have someone to tell me how to get to where I needed to go, to show me the right way to eat, exercise, sleep, recover, and cook. So I will be posting more of what I used to on this page. I will make myself available through upcoming Facebook group Im starting, and a coaching course. Im not perfect, Im a work in progress and I have found out a ton of stuff through trial and error. I want to thank all of you for your support and most of all for your personal desire to be the best version of yourself. And that to me is worth admiring.
