Hello Beachbody! My name is Daniel Drake. I was born in Eastman Ga on October- 31- 1989(yes Halloween). I am in the process of making some HUGE decisions concerning my education, relationships, health, my entire life in general. I sing! Singing is something that has always been a type of release for me. I have always used music in general as an escape from the problems of the world, but I also Hello Beachbody! My name is Daniel Drake. I was born in Eastman Ga on October- 31- 1989(yes Halloween). I am in the process of making some HUGE decisions concerning my education, relationships, health, my entire life in general. I sing! Singing is something that has always been a type of release for me. I have always used music in general as an escape from the problems of the world, but I also escaped with the use of food.
In case no one noticed, I come from an African American family. Our food is smothered, deep fried, bake, broiled etc.... Often times lard, oil, bacon grease,and lots of salt among other unhealthy things are used in the preparation of what is called Soul Food. Soul food in the African American community has contributed so many health risk in my own family such as: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, obesity etc.... Don't get me wrong, I love my family and my upbringing, but these foods are killing us Faster!!!
So! If I can take anything out of this experience it would be a brand new lifestyle bringing together diet and exercise along with the ability to encourage my family to be more aware of their health and to consider a new healthier lifestyle if need be. It is important to succeed with this journey and I have a strong belief I will. With the help of my beachbody coach bbcoachchris aka Chris Balmert, along with the support of my beachbody buddies this will be one of my finest moments.
So!!! P90X Here I Come!!! Bring It!!!

Well I started my weight loss journey in February 2008 when I tipped the scale at over 250lbs. I then took action and with diet alone lost a total of 33lbs and managed to keep it off. Now down to 223lbs I was still unhappy so I took action again and lost an additional 17lbs starting May 2010. I am now down to 180lbs and holding. I've made great strides in my weight loss, but I'm not done. These past 2 years have been like a weight roller coaster and quite frankly I ready to get off this seemingly never ending ride. I know I have a lot to give to the people around me and with this extra baggage I can not. I will be starting P90X on December 20, 2010 and I'm about to bring it like never before.
It is May 16, 2011 and I'm going for rounds 2 of P90X. I am a little nervous for some reason but I.m going to just go for it. I'll be sure keep everybody posted.
