citrus springs, FL December 2011 Update.... Been a while... I'll make this short and sweet!!
Back in 2006 I was Obese and approaching my 40th birthday with well over 100 lbs of... well, let's just call it undesireable weight (some of us call it FAT!!) and fighting a losing battle with high blood pressure ...
I had tried and failed many times at my attempts to get fit and healthy... but then, shortly December 2011 Update.... Been a while... I'll make this short and sweet!!
Back in 2006 I was Obese and approaching my 40th birthday with well over 100 lbs of... well, let's just call it undesireable weight (some of us call it FAT!!) and fighting a losing battle with high blood pressure ...
I had tried and failed many times at my attempts to get fit and healthy... but then, shortly after my 40th birthday... I discovered Beachbody and started working out to famous fitness instructor Tony Horton's "POWER 90"... I lost 75 lbs in 3 months and was feeling pretty darn good!!!
I, shortly thereafter discovered the now infamous P90-X informercials...,snapped it up, and started to see greater and greater improvement!!!,I was feeling fantastic, I was running 5k's, 1/2 marathons, triathlons... and then...
I had a little slip up, and stopped working out for a time...
What was it?, was it the lure of the chocholate gods calling me back?, did Pizza Hut have a 100% off sale? Actually, as tasty as that sounds, what happend was that I had a very brief battle with a 16 year old girl and her 3000 pound buick...
This was one battle that I would not come out on top!... or was it?..., as I was lying on a backboard in the Emergency Room, all busted up, broken bones and all..., I remembered the reason I started to live my "healthy lifestyle" in the first place... It was, is, and always will be my now 7 year old daughter Hailey <3 !!!...
I took a few days off of my normal routine (can you blame me?), but within days, broken bones and all, I started to "do what I could" with weight training and very modified cardio (as much as you could with a broken foot)...
Oh yeah, before the accident,I already had such great results with P90-X, I had been selected as a finalist in Beachbody's million dollar body challenge (top prize 250,000 bucks!!!); with the help and support of Beachbody and it's members, and with the inspiration I have to always live my "NEW HEALTHY LIFESTYLE"...
I made it to the Finals of the Beachbody Challenge... I was standing up on stage in Hollywood (me and just one other contestant - Dallas Carter, maybe you've heard of him :o)...
Well, I did not walk away with the title, but as runner up, I did pocket the runner-up prize of 50,000 bucks...
So I went from nearly 300 lbs, struggling through Tony Horton's "POWER 90" workout to actually realizing one of my "OLD MAN GOALS" (as I likes to call them)... I AM ACTUALLY BE IN the new Tony Horton workout: P90-X-2 !!! (I'm in Core-2, the old guy on Tony's right in the grey tank top)
I work out 6-7 days every week, doing the best I can to "WALK THE TALK", I believe in setting goals, and trying to surpass them... I continue to train for all kinds of events, from a simple 5K to competing in Tough Mudder (a 12 mile/20 obstical course mud run)...I have pretty simple philosophies... "Have a reason to get in and stay healthy" I say... the key is "MOTIVATION", have 1, have 1,000 reasons to "show up"...
As a beachbody coach... I don't refuse the income I get every week from being a coach, but the reason I decided to "help others" get fit and healthy, was that I didn't realize how BAD I felt until I finally felt GOOD !!! think about it.... makes sense, doesn't it.
PS. I forgot to mention I won $50,000 dollars in the 2008 Million Dollar Body Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July '09 Update...
I'm human :) had injury, stopped doing my reg workouts, insert next excuse here, and one more here, but I'm back on the horse.... I always say, we all fall down, it's just how quickly we get back up that makes us who we are... or something like that, anyway, I hope you all are doing great!!!!! See ya, Dale

My Transformation Story:
O.K., I'm a fat!!! Lots of us are, and we like ourselves just the way we are; right? Well, I think we all (most of us) have said this right? Of course it's crap. I've been fat for almost all of my adult life. Every once in a while I'll find the motivation and get into better shape and then of course go back to being fat. Well "they" say that you get older you get wiser? right? actually yes on this one!! I'm 43 in January and not getting any younger so I must be getting smarter. I got into good shape a few of years ago only go slip once again. I bought a few dvd's on ebay (I can't even remember the exact name of them, but last year when I saw the p90x commercial, I said that's the guy; this was what I've been needing to help me get off my but and get moving again. It was kind of slow going at first, I was really sore and took some days off often in the beginning. I started with my 11 year old son who lasted 30 days, and then he couldn't keep up with the program. It was hard near the end, but I finished the program. I can see my abs comming back through now and that has motivated me to stick on a better eating schedule. I have been doing triathlons, and even though my weight isn't at my fittest, my performance is noticably better. I won my first triathlon ever and I was about 25 pounds over my goal weight. I'm looking forward to see how I can do when I do get there!! My performance has improved, and looks like it will keep getting better, and I'm no spring chicken... 42 going on 43 yet getting better? lets hope. I will hit my goal of 8% body fat by years end, that's my guarantee. When next year hits and I'm as fit (or fitter!!) than Tony (don't strike me dead) I should be smashing my personal bests in triathlons and 5ks.
UPDATE: I won December MDB game $10,000.00 !!!!!!!!!!! You motivated yet?
I can't tell you how excited I was/am, and I've been going 200 miles per hour since going for it all in the annual contest.
I entered the November contest, however didn't make it, but I was feeling great about myself, and I was making a serious push for the December contest when I was hit by a car during a duathlon (run/bike/run) race and sent to the hospital.
I received a head injury, many cuts, abrasions and a nice little scar on my face not to mention a broken foot!!! I immediately said, "there goes my shot at December", but after lying on that extremely painful backboard for 3 hours not fun! :( I came up with a plan to go for it.
I had made a promise to my my baby girl (Hailey - 4 years old). I was going to get and stay healthy and in shape and enjoy every minute I have with her.
Well fast forward several weeks and I'm in the gym on the eliptical because it kept my foot isolated and I was able to do the ripper and some Xstreatch.
The key was nutrition for me, I kept on an extremely clean eating plan, lost 10 pounds of fat and did all workouts I could do won me the December contest (haveing nearly a month off of work and able to WOWY at all times really kept me going - thanks for all of you :)
Fast forward a few more weeks and still in a straight shoe, was doing what I could to prepare for the annual contest. I have had my foot back since Dec 29th, but was told not to run on it for 2 - 3 weeks.
Now, I wouldn't recommend a car accident as part of a healthy transformation, but you got to play with the cards your delt.
I'm just glad one of those cards happened to be a little product/community/company/life-saver called BEACHBODY!!!!
Stay true to yourself, and you will get everything out of this product/company that you put into it.
Stay well, and enjoy the simple things in life :)
