I have spent the majority of my life holding little regard to boundaries and borders! Feeling compelled by my own sense of right and wrong, my own guiding principles, my own march towards destiny, I have no time or inclination to think inside of “the box” let alone pretend to be physically trapped within in its confines. I have dedicated my days to breaking limits and boundaries, misconceptions and stereotypes. Who we are or what we become is up to us!!! We are not the house or job, our bank statement or retirement plan. We are not the sum of the measuring sticks society applies to us to determine our self value. We are a powerful species capable of overcoming life’s most difficult moments in the most extreme times! Be not breakable. Be not subject to the will of your environment, but instead SUBJECT your environment to your will, remaking the very boundaries in which we are expected to live within!!!!

After spending endless nights of planning and determination I have come to ONE conclusion, in order to succeed in ones dreams it will require obsession and commitment. We are entitled NOTHING and NOTHING can easily be our claim. Accomplishment will not arrive on my door step wrapped up in a blanket delivered from a swan in a nicely knitted basket!!! The goals I in-vision in my mind are floating around hopelessly waiting to be claimed. Or I can just once in my life endure 90 days of pain to witness measures set by a higher standard, my own.

I could easily sit on this keyboard and count out over and over again the typical sob story of my life. Through my struggle, sorrow and pain what many will call burdens begging for change I will instead call them blessings getting me to the breakpoint of self accomplishment!

This is my dream and today is my day! I will dig deeper then I have ever before, I will push myself beyond limits ever imaginable. Thank you Beachbody for giving me the tools to change my life and from this point forward it is up to me to execute! To be continued……………………………….

One day I went for a follow up with my doctor and he had
mentioned how much weight I put on and was concerned. He
knew what I was going through and he had seemed to show a
personal interest in my story and my recovery. My diet had
suffered greatly and my lack of exercise was taking over my
body. He asked me to go online to Beachbody and try out one
of there programs. I never did what he requested and just
continued to live my old lifestyle.

A good friend of mine called one day and left a message on
my cell phone. The message was this “you can’t hang with
the P90X.” I was curious about what he was talking about so
I researched it online and found out it was a product of
Beachbody. If this was not a clear sign to finally commit
myself and try it I don’t know what else would be. This was
my one shot my one opportunity, I jumped on the web site
immediately and ordered it.

My wife wanted to be a part of this with me because she had
seen me struggle for so long that she wanted to make sure I
had all the support I could get. We committed our life to
Team Beachbody and P90X and followed the program and the
diet as it was laid out. I work 12-14 hour days so it was
not the easiest thing in the world but I made the time for
myself. Some days I would get up a little early in the
morning and if I got home earlier in the evening I would
take care of business at night. Jess my wife shortly became
a coach for Team Beachbody and my personal motivation.
Without my wife and Team Beachbody I would not be where I am
today!! Thanks, Jess and Team Beachbody.

I decided to use P90X. I found it on the website at
Beachbody. The thing that triggered me the most was a clip
of Tony Horton saying “if you can eliminate the mind set
that, I cant, I can’t do pull ups. Forget I cant and say I
presently struggle with and if you keep that mind set then
over the course of time someone’s dream to do 2 or 3 could
turn into 20 and more!”

For too long I had that mind set that “I can’t, I can’t.”
All it took was for me to say to myself is I presently
struggle with and over the course of time “I did.”

I have never felt or looked better in my life! I lost
almost 40lbs and went down 6 pant sizes in just 90 days.

I go everywhere with my shirt off. I love to see peoples
faces that knew the old John. They always ask what did you
do? I tell them about the program and how it changed my
life.
