A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.....
An average size boy in 5th grade ballooned to double his size in a matter of one year. Why? We still don't know. Probably a combination of eating too much, not being very into sports and active activities. Who knows? But it's been an up hill battle ever since. I started playing guitar (and later playing bass, singing and playing drums too) at about 11

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.....
An average size boy in 5th grade ballooned to double his size in a matter of one year. Why? We still don't know. Probably a combination of eating too much, not being very into sports and active activities. Who knows? But it's been an up hill battle ever since. I started playing guitar (and later playing bass, singing and playing drums too) at about 11 or 12 which led to extensive amounts of time spent hunched over picking songs off of tapes and the radio...and of course less physical activity. I was now approaching serious hippo stature, not to mention some anti-social tendencies since the other non short fat kids had been making my life miserable. With a running ability likened to that of a water buffalo and no stamina at all, I didn't even want to try. Soooooo..teenage years came along along with long hair and a pretty seedy crowd that was sort of accepting of somebody out of the norm. While playing in bands and actually joining football in 9th grade, some of the weight started coming off. But after that season the rumors were that in summer camp long haired guys were held down and shaved. Needless to say, that was the end of the physical stuff until I joined the track team in my senior year. Only long haired freak out on the field! So after high school, aircraft mechanic school, electronics school, and many nights of bar food, oceans of beer, playing in smoky nightclubs and generally every other form of bad living I could manage, eventually I found myself in Long Island New York working. I would come home from work, sit on the couch and watch TV, sit on the couch and eat, and go out drinking occasionally. I joined a local gym around the corner from the airport I was working at. But the determination still wasn't quite there, and the eating habits were still terrible. And living in an area where there's no shortage of some of the best food in the world didn't help much. I met and married my wife, she had our 2 girls and then we moved back to Pittsburgh,PA. So fast forward to this past spring where we took the kids to Orlando and went on our first cruise. When the pictures came back I was shocked and disgusted at the guy who was in all these pictures with my family! That couldn't be me I said ! So thats when all the BeachBody infomercials I had seen time after time and all the looking at the web aite and lurking on the baords led to the path I've been on for almost six months now. AND BUYING POWER 90 WAS THE BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT! I am better now in mind body and spirit! And even though I haven't reached the place I ultimately want to be, I know I can and will get there.
