Transformation story

Hello again, let me intro myself: my name is Mike Sowell & I live in Southern California with my lovely wife of 8 years, Nanci. I enjoy eating good food & spending time with my family (no kids yet) & friends. Currently my passion, other than p90x, is longboarding, which I try to do as often as possible. I also enjoy golf, mountain biking, racquetball & basketball, to name a few.

Basically, I grew up a VERY thin athletic kid & teen. Growing up in SoCal(West LA/Santa Monica) I loved being outside playing basketball, baseball, skateboarding, going to the beach, riding my bike...pretty much anything & everything. Once I hit around 21 yrs. old I guess my age & metabolism caught up with me & my weight has tended to 'YO-YO' depending on my commitment to eating right & exercise. I actually just started longboarding during the summer of '07 & so around March of this year I said to myself, "I've gained weight since last summer (tipping the scales at 180+ lbs!!!), surfing season is coming up, I NEED TO GET MY BUTT IN SHAPE"!! So I headed over to my local gym that I've been an inconsistent member of for several years to get myself a fitness assessment & possibly even some personal training sessions. Well, during the assessment I almost fainted & had to lay down in the middle of the gym with a cold towel on my head - SO EMBARRASSING!! To make a long story short, since the assessment didn't go so well, they of course tried to sell me some expensive training sessions which I refused. So now I was stuck between a rock & hard place & just kept thinking "What in the heck am I going to do? I don't want to pay an arm & a leg for a trainer, but that's the only way I can be pushed (forced) into shaping up & learning how to exercise correctly because "What do I really know??? - I'm overweight, unhealthy & unhappy with my appearance". Well, it popped into my head that my wife's cousin had done that exercise program on the infomercial?!?! So I called her up, she gave me the low-down on Beachbody & the p90x program & I guess the rest is history!

Let me tell you off the bat, it's simple but it's definitely not easy!!! Having Tony(the Beachbody Fitness Guru & instructor) & the kids there to push me was like having my own personal trainer right in my living room.

Finally, I'd just like to give a HUGE thanks to my wife & folks on the message boards that have supported me, given me your time/tips/advice, etc... I couldn't have done it without ya!!
