Very technical work but my other passions are that I study metaphysics and the mystical paths of the worlds major religions, astrology and the science of the spoken word. I have taken spiritual sabaticals and have really dived into the mysteries of life and now learning the importance of physical health preparedness, continued fitness and how truely important this is. For without your physical health and strength, the rest is meaningless. I have been a computer and systems conultant for over 30 years and beginning to gain the body I always wanted but never had. The Beachbody programs are making this possible. I lecture on metaphsyical topics such as how to deal with personal and planetary karma, the science of mantra and the spoken word for personal and planetary change. In my Childhood, I grew up in a family of mostly girls-4 sisters and my mom which left my dad and me as the only males. I moved to the AZ deserts, Scottsdale in the valley of the sun, seven years ago and Now live in the great state of Texas. I have also had the opportunity to live, work, or visit 48 of the 50 states. My personal gols are to share my knowledge of metaphysics and life to the world and I know that being in top shape is the key to making all of this happen. Its happening now and the changes are remarkable! My Progress My fitness goal: Transformation story

I am now enjoying the fruits of my 90+ days of my power90 program experiencing a return to the weight I was when I was younger with energy and strength but it wasn't always that way. When I was in my thirties, I was not exactly what you would call super fit. Although I was slender, I really did not have a strong physique. When I made my forties, I decided to do something to help me with my physical self esteem, I entered a martial arts school and worked hard for 5 years eventually gaining first degree black belt in Tang soo do. I gained weight during this training and although it was the best martial arts training from a martail arts expert from the Korean temples, I still did not fully understand the relationship of diet and fat burning to all of the training I had received. At the time I was 177 at the completion of the train, but 15 punds heavier than I really should have been. But soon after passing my test, I had to leave the area where I had been training because of my job. Since I had such high quality training, I was unable to find similar caliber training that I had. The bad eating habits I picked up took off and I was up over 205 pounds! A couple of contracting desk jobs added to the weight, frustration, and concern about my overall health followed. I gained allot of weight, + 30 pounds I was feeling very low about myself, getting old and looking it. Not feeling good about myself or how I looked. I realized that I can only be helpful to others and myself if I am strong and fit. I was concerned it was too late. Too many pounds and years. I decided to look into diet programs but none ever worked. I tried eating lees but ended up gaining even more weight. I know I needed help from someone who knew what to do. The training had to work. My self esteem was very low, hiding in larger and larger clothes ignoring the growing stomach. I was fading fast. My health was suffering. I started to have knee problems, I knew it was from the weight. I was heavy and gaining more. I lost interest in even biking becuase I could not see results in my weight even after biking miles and miles. I had hernia surgery and that contributed to the decline and increase in weight gain, fearing to work out. I started suffering from edema throughout my body, which was unheard of for me. I was looking old and heavy. I felt merserable about myself, feeling like the world was leaving me behind. Everything I did led to an out of breath condition. Only a slow walk kept from from getting out of breath. I was in trouble and I needed help. My wife even resorted to prayer to help. I saw pictures of me with a double chin and a stomach that made me look pregant and fat. It was this shock that told me I better do something fast. At least try. I saw a P90X commercial and started to look into the programs, becuase I saw hope for me personally as I read more about others who had amazing transformations. I took the P90x test and although I couldn't meet all the minimums, I was close BUT huffing and puffing pretty severely. I then was introduced to the P90 series and I saw a clear plan ahead. Start with the P90, see how it goes. I was moved by the personal stories and results of others and thought I had nothing to lose by trying (except the low self esteem and allot of weight of course). After I had a couple of questions answered by customer service, I started with the P90 series with the Fat Burning 6 day express and when I saw esults after those 6 days, I knew I was on the way! 80 days later I am now 29 pounds lighter, getting back into shape and in medium clothes and homing in on small! I can not beging to tell you the feeling of knowing I am on the way to a great shape and the results have been remarkable. Friends and my wife now see me as a fitness leader. People who knew me before want to know about what I did and want me to share my story. My eyesight has actually improved and my doctor cannot believe the changes from my last pre hernia visit. The nursing assistants asking me what did I do. I got a clean bill of health from the Doc with tests that came back with flying colors I am feeling so much better about myself and its showing. My wife is happier and beginning to look at herself in the mirror differently. With 6 1/2 inches gone from my belly, I was forced to get a new wardrobe!I even had to move beyond the baggy in the work out clothes I had to purchase at the beginning of the program! By the grace of God, your hard work at Beachbody, I am now on the right track again, with quality work outs that are perfect for my real transformation. Thank you guys for the products and the plan and a place to make it happen. My wife and friends tell me how much better I look and my energy is stronger. I am truely grateful to God and the Beachbody folks that I am regaining years and so is my wife. Thank you guys! | Please sign in to flag this as inappropriate.
