I have always been one who has struggled to some degree or another with my weight. Growing up my brothers came up with a nick name for me, "Fat Bertha". I remember how hurtful it was every time they called me this name. I think ultimately this is what drove me to finally start taking action in the 9th grade to loose weight in a very unhealthy manner. I started jogging every day to loose weight. As time passed I started jogging further and further and eating less and less until I found myself getting comments from friends and family that I wasn't looking healthy. At the end of my 10th grade year in High School, I found myself weighing less than 125 pounds at a height of 5'9" (my current height). I took a serious look at myself and realized that in order to achieve my goal of loosing weight that I had taken on some very unhealthy habits. Some of the habits included drastic measures like serious caloric restriction, going multiple days without eating (anorexia) along with binging and purging (bulimia). I realized that all my actions to get healthy had been driven purely by loss of weight. The following year I signed up for a weight lifting class and immediately threw on 25 pounds of pure muscle. At that point I was extremely happy with the way that I looked. At 5’9” and 155lbs-160lbs, with a very low body fat count, I looked very shredded. For the next 5-6 years I continued exercising off and on and maintained a physique that I was very satisfied with. In 1998 I got married and slowly started noticing some very unfavorable things happening to my appearance and physique that I had worked so hard to maintain. Over the next 10 years (1998 – present), I would struggle unsuccessfully with an ongoing battle to get back to the more shredded look that I had once before obtained. Last weekend, at a weight of 204lbs, I finally reached a breaking point and realized that enough is enough!! I told myself, in order to get back to where I was, I am going to need somebody else’s help. As I sat there on my couch watching T.V. in disgust, I came across an infomercial pushing something I though could help me out. Enter Tony Horton. As I sat and watched the infomercial for P90X I realized that this was exactly what I was looking for. Immediately I went over to my computer and started researching the Beach Body line of products and ultimately decided on Power 90 as the product to help me achieve my goals, with the intent to purchase P90X at a later time to help me get truly shredded. Well here I am, I placed the order and now I am beginning my journey towards health, fitness and inner silence, a desire to once again be at peace with myself, the way I look and the way I feel. Let the journey begin…
