In 2004 I was diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). This is typically
found in people who are immobile (pregnancy, obesity, prolonged travel,
hospitalization); persons with a recent fracture or broken leg; persons who
clot faster than others(smokers, cancer patients and persons with genetic
predispositions). If a blood clot is found it could be fatal by a piece breaking
off and traveling through the heart into the lungs.

I was 24 at the time of my diagnosis. I was relatively healthy. I have no
history of smoking, no recent broken bones and from the preliminary
evaluation I had no signs of a genetic predisposition.

So you may ask why in the heck am I still alive?
Well, as it turns out I to have a genetic predisposition, but I also have a
natural filter system in place! I found this out when my doctor's tried to place
a cone filter that sits in your Inferior Vena Cava (the long vein that travels
from your femoral veins to the backside of your heart). The natural filter is
actually caused by the fact that I am missing a section of my (IVC).

Have I gotten the attention of all the physicians on beachbody yet! LOL

On top of this what was once diagnosed as asthma turned out to be what can
only be classified as Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). After a
CT scan revealed I had only 80% of my lung capacity developed I found
answers to lots of questions. It was because of these medical stigmas I
sought to change my life with Power 90.

While working out with Power 90 I saw great results. I started getting abs. My muscles were growing ever so slightly.

Then IT happened. I hit a bump in the road and fell off the wagon. I got back on, but fell off again.

When I decided to hop back on I was reintroduced to Tony Horton's Power90 Master Series.

Since doing the Master Series I grew confident in my ability to tackle p90X. I am currently on my second phase of round one (I plan on doing 4 rounds). I wish I made the choice to do p90X sooner!
