I have always been big as a child, as a teen and partly as an adult. Growing up in Hawaii you are constantly surrounded by food(undeniable food). Throughout my high school I kept a standard weight of 225 lbs, which was quite heavy for my height being at five foot six and a half. My mother passed away during my junior year of high school and it became the worst time of my life. She was my best friend. This emotional break down lead me in gaining 30 more pounds and a constant depression. Years later I went through a rough relationship and break up with my ex-girlfriend which I gain 20 more pounds. I was now at 278 lbs, the heaviest I have ever been. A best friend of mine, Malibu inspired me into martial arts, which I quickly fell in love with. He was a great trainer and we worked out in the back of his garage. I trained there with other friends who were much thinner and stronger and I wanted to keep up if not get to their level of sparring. With my determination I was able to drop down to 176 lbs in 8 months. I wasn't in a relationship at the time so I was able to fully concentrate on myself. I later met my current girlfriend and now fiancee who I totally fell in love with and had a little baby girl. I slowly began to gain back a lot of weight and at the time my family needed me the most and were more important. At over 260 lbs I found it hard to go back to 24hr fitness and couldn't do the same type of workout anymore and it was really depressing. Then Malibu turned me on to Tony Horton's P90X which was really tough, but I loved it. I found it easier to do it at home and less cost efficient and I began too see results quickly. I found myself able to spend even more time with my family this way. Malibu later inspired me in becoming a coach. I started a straight 90 day program using the P90X lean routine and found myself becoming more flexible and stronger. To enhance my progress I used a heart rate moniter to make sure my heart was at peak performance or above to burn calories correctly. Also the help of the recovery drink allowed me to keep up my daily workout performance. Shakeology became liquid gold for my diet which I have every morning for breakfast. It allowed me to have more nutrition with my daily diet and help me reach my dream goal and make it become a reality. Now I began the INSANITY program and can't wait to see the results.
