After enjoying the benefits of Beach Body for the last 2 years through P90X and now INSANITY I said lets take it to another level so now I have begun to COACH! I am super excited and pumped to spread my enthusiasm for the workouts with more of my friends.

I have always been an athlete in some form of my life from playing in the streets of the Bronx as a kid, to the blacktop of the basketball court to the hardwood of the Div-I college level. But when you are known as a basketball player and athlete for most of your life and then reality sets in and that is the day you realize that you are not going to play the sport that you love and have dedicated your life to professionally, a gloomy day for some. I was then set on my way to find my purpose and identity and that journey lead me into many bars, fast food restaurants, late nights with a love affair processed foods. When it was all said and done, 9 years go by, 20-30lbs are gained and I found myself spending more time on couches with college buddies looking for our next place to drink. My clothes weren't helping at all, I was wearing 38 waists and growing and the fat jokes were coming more frequently also the passion that I had for dancing seemed to be fading due to my stamina or lack there of.

April 2008 I saw my first beachbody infomercial adn it was for P90X and I totally understood it and was sold on it after the first 2 mins of hearing about it, but I didn't get the dvd's until July, didn't open the box until November and then realized that I needed to have a certain level of fitness (which I was not sure I had) so I started getting the muscle memory jarred I was planning to start in January 2009, but due to a family tragedy(my 3 yr old niece DREAM passed away) my start date was postponed while I was dealing with family and the depression sent me off for another way to dull the pain with the bottle and all the progress that I felt I had made over the few months was quickly dashed away. I also had the idea in my head that I could turn it on when I wanted to and even though I knew I had tons of rust on my gears and my internal piping was filled with all sorts of poison I convinced myself that I had it under control. But then I had a reality check and it came on the St. Patty's weekend of 2010.

I was visiting friends in Hoboken NJ and it being an irish town they celebrated the drinkers holiday a week early and you know EVERYBODY IS IRISH ON ST PATTY'S DAY, even if it was the week before it officially. I proceeded to jump on a serious 4 day bender that had my closest friends looking at me in amazement because there were many blackout moments that left me seriously questioning who I was and who I was becoming, I was left with a scar on my left hand that gave me a sobering moment and while pondering how the scar happened I figured that I couldn't go on like this. I have a pre-teen daughter that I was supposed to be an example for and I was seriously putting that in jeopardy with my antics and it was at that moment that I turned to what I knew and that was fitness and strengthening my mind and body, so that's what I did.

So after I had a day of detoxing I went straight to my BeachBody box and took Tony out and Press Play and I brought it for the next 90 STRAIGHT DAYS and I went hard, I switched to SODA WATER/Lime as my drink of choice when I went out with the fellas and even when I came home at 4a, I was up 2 9 to bring it and immediately I felt the difference and my friends saw the difference bcs I would wake them up with all the grunting and cussing at the screen but after the first 30 days I was convinced that I did the right thing. I started traveling more and felt my confidence and esteem grow by leaps and bounds, all this time I thought that I was okay psychologically but when I crossed that 90 days finish line on my birthday June 12, 2010 I felt such a sens of accomplishment that far surpassed any of my previous sports accomplishments (and there have been many) bcs this was something i found the will power to do myself.

I was now living in South Beach miami with a GORGEOUS MERMAID and living the good life in the sun on sexy SoBe and with the good life came a little indulgence and with the support of my Mermaid we started another round of P90X on 3/2010 which was such an awesome experience bcs for the first time I had a physical partner and supporter and it does wonders for retention and it allowed me to have someone to encourage and champion. After the round my mermaid and I took off to Australia and even though we found time to be active we just enjoyed 6 weeks of travel and when we got back in May we were really showing that we just realxed and took it easy in the LAND OF OZ..its truly all about NO WORRIES!

Anyhow it was time to worry bcs as I got back to Miami and back to work the crew started getting at me bcs of the 15lbs I brought back with me, I would hear accusations about me having eaten the DINGO THAT ATE MY BABY(Aussie Accent)LOL! I knew that I had a trick up my sleeve and it happened to be a little 60-Day workout called INSANITY and as of today I have 2 more days of Shawn-T action and I tell you this thing is like a drug and I got to have more but more importantly I know people who need this more than they know. So after a brief look back at the last year of my life it became a no-brainer BEACH BODY COACH was my next step and now here I am ready to preach the gospel of good health, fortifying your bodies opening your minds hearts souls being good to people and yourselves and staying fly fun and fit while doing it.

Now that I blabbed a bit of my story its time for me to know yours and help you get to your wellness goals, one day at a time. Just remember its going to hurt but its going to be fun and you will get better and stronger and happier and the KICKASSNESS that you will be enjoying because of your NEW BODY...OWWWW!!!!

Be GOOD Stay FLY and I will hopefully see you in the GYM or on the DANCE FLOOR.
