I have two young daughters, Rowan Skye, and Amethyst.
My daughter Amethyst has severe autism. She is home schooled and is totally dependant on her mother and I to take care of her daily needs. She is 14 years old. Her autism is so severe that if we could not take care of her everyday she would have to be put in a facility. She cannot function outside in the real world. And the sad part is, that she never will be able to. My responsibility as a father is to be there for her as long as I can. That is the drive for me to get in better shape, and live longer. To keep my baby home with us for the rest of our long lives.

As the father of an autistic child, I found myself on a downward spiral. Smoking, gaining weight, declining health. If I was going to be able to take care of my daughter and keep her home with us, I was going to have to make some massive changes in my life. She was depending on me to be there for her.
My journey began with one step.
Quitting smoking. And I thought to myself, well, if I’ve quit smoking to get healthier, it’s not that much further to stop drinking so much Mt. Dew. (I drank a 6pk a day of that poison.. in the summer I drank a 12pk.. NO WATER!)
I quit the dew.
And I thought to myself, since I quit the dew, why don’t I try to lose a little weight.. You know, since I’m trying to be healthier, and it’s not that much more work.
So, I bought an elliptical bike.
Began riding the devil machine like a fool for a few days and dropping a little weight.. 3 lbs. And I thought to myself,… well, why don’t I get on a diet and jump start this weight loss a bit.
So I got on a diet.
My energy went up, I felt better. And I thought to myself… why don’t I speed this up a bit and start exercising?
Enter P90x and Beachbody.
At the start of round One, I got on the forums.. It wasn’t that much more to do. I met so many AMAZING folks on the threads… 300 challenge, Team Bearcat, Fit Club, and Swarms daily inspiration. I listened, I learned, I offered advice. I found my place.
Then I thought to myself, I really enjoy helping others find better health, living longer, and meeting great people. After a few dozen told me I should be a coach, I got the idea.
And besides, it wasn’t that much further.
Lets recap. I’ve quit smoking I’ve quit a serious soda addiction I’ve lost 30lbs. I’ve lost 6” off my waist I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been I’ve made great new friends. Beachbody has taken me further than I dreamed I could go! I became a coach, and have started returning the help I have gotten.
All this in a little over 2 MONTHS!
You can change your life!
All it takes is one step… it’s not that far really.
Take that step my friends. You’ll be surprise how far it takes you.
