I have always been athletic and have never really worried about my weight. I played a bit of junior college basketball and at the end of my sophomore year. I got a job in a restaurant and quickly fell in love with the business. Working in restaurants, you are always moving and you never really think about health. Most people that work in restaurants drink eat and smoke too much and I was one of them. About 4 years ago, I got a promotion to a desk job and quickly put on 25 pounds. Almost 2 years ago, my wife found out she was pregnant with our second child. I decided to quit smoking and added another 60 pounds to the total!!! I was tipping the scales at a whopping 285!
With all of that being said, I have to tell you about my family history, my grandfather died at 59 of heart related issues. My dad has had 2 heart attacks before the age of 60! I was in the fast lane to carrying on the family trend. My newest son was born with a metabolic disorder that requires him to be fed on a strict schedule or he will go into severe hypoglycemia. I tell you this to set up this final part of my story.
So I am feeding my newborn son sometime around 4AM one night. I am very overweight, I am a walking zombie from lack of sleep, I am getting small chest ticks, I get out of breath whenever I do anything that involves exertion (My golf swing had to look pretty bad) Overall, I am not doing very well physically OR mentally and I am flipping through channels looking for something to watch during the 20 minutes it would take to feed Cooper. I come across this infomercial with real people working out and LOVING it. It was at that moment I had an epiphany….I was not going to live long enough to see my oldest son grow up, get married, have kids. I wasn’t going to live long enough to see Cooper graduate high school! I was on pace to not grow old with my wife and enjoy or kids and grandchildren! I was a walking heart attack waiting to happen. I knew that I couldn’t do the P90X workout that was on TV, but I was intrigued, so I went on the website and found P90. I bought the workout and joined the club and decided to follow the meal plan. When I started the program, it was a normal day to drink 6-8 sodas a day, chocolate and fast food was a staple of my diet. I committed to the meal plan and haven’t had a soda since July 1st. The junk food is gone from my diet. I finished P90 losing 37 pounds and a total of 16.5 inches! Well I was hooked I had been using Activate and drinking the Whey Protein, so I bought more supplements and bought the Masters series. I got a bit distracted in the middle but continued my meal plan. I finally regained my stride and finished the MS. At its finish, I had lost another 49 pounds and had cracked 200 pounds weighing in at 199! I had lost a total of 38.75 inches! My waist is a 35 for the first time since college. Well now I am really hooked! Needless to say with results like this, people notice. They are asking me all the time what I am doing. I became a BB coach and the results sell the product. It is easy to talk about products that you believe in so much. I have since bought the X and I am bringing it! I am teaching others how important eating correctly is. My family is healthier because of the changes that I have made to our diet. (My wife has lost 24 pounds and my oldest son 14 pounds) A little while back, my greatest result was my wife telling me that for the first time in a long time she doesn’t worry about not growing old with me.
My most heartfelt thanks goes to Tony and the kids, Carl and Beachbody, and all of my friends on the threads. I completely believe in Deciding….Committing…. and Succeeding.
