My Story
My journey starts back in late 2003, early 2004 with a visit to my in-laws for a family get together. We all went outside for a family photo (about 40 people!) and had our picture taken. When I looked at this photo I was shocked! Who is this guy with the spare tire around his waist? I had gotten lazy and was not eating well. My wife would try to get me to exercise with her (doing Kathy Smith aerobic workouts) but I was not interested! I had gotten really dormant even, like a bear during the winter. Years earlier I had worked over-night at Wal-Mart, putting out freight all night, unloading trucks, pulling pallets and I was working out 3 days a week in a gym. I WAS in good shape, but now I was a pudgy sloth.
In February of 2004 I joined the gym next door to my office and started working out 3 days a week using a book by Ellington Darden “The New Hit Training” (High Intensity Training) I hit the gym faithfully for a year and a half and saw great results but I still wasn’t eating much better but I was feeling good and everything was going well.
In July of 2005 I was served divorce papers and in November I got laid off from my job. No more gym membership!
I have struggled though a divorce and severe financial hardships, depression and more but I tell you this, God always has a plan! I have made great strides physically and emotionally over the last almost 4 years. In 2008 I saw the movie “300″ and was interested in how the cast got so “ripped” for the movie so I did some research on “The 300 Workout” and found a reference to P90X being as close to the “300″ workout as possible so I researched P90X for a while and on July 21st, 2008 I began to run and cycle and prepare myself for “the coming of the X”. In Sept 2008 I did P90X for the first time . I completed my first round of P90X and got awesome results as you can see in the pictures above. I was determined to BRING IT every day for the next 90 days and then for the rest of my life!
I had already felt an improvement in my fitness level just from the running and cycling. I started telling others about what I was doing and realized that “THIS” was something I was really passionate about. I want to help others get fit and stay fit too. Your health should be a major priority in life and being fit makes your life all around better. For this reason I decided to become a Beachbody Coach.
In 2011-2012 I had regressed a bit and gotten lazy and let the problems of life drag me down. I began to read inspirational books like “A Slight Edge” by Jeff Olsen , “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey and connect with my spiritual side through my church and reading God’s Word. This has really helped my attitude on life and made me a more committed Christian, father and renewed my attitude in my Beachbody business! I have two AWESOME coaches in Kevin and Lauren Knight and TEAM IMPACT has been a great inspiration for me! Onward and Upward in 2012!
