Tying my shoes had become a major physical event to the point where I traded shoes with laces for more accessible slip-on shoes. Nightly, I would sit in my man-cave and play video games, eat chips, and drink beer into the wee hours of the night.īy 2012, at age 39, I had reached a weight of 246lbs (I’m only 5’8”), and worse, my waistline had grown to size 42, and that was tight. Not to mention the steady stream of sodas and energy drinks. This increase supported eating out multiple times a week, having dessert after every meal, and having coffee with lots of cream and sugar. To make things worse, I started getting pretty good at helping customers, and my sales began to improve, which helped increase my income. As a sales rep, I was seated for long periods and rarely did anything physical. This was completely different from my previous position. I was on my feet all day in this role, and my body was constantly in motion. When I got out in 1999, I started work at Call One, Inc. In 1992 I joined the US Army, where PT (physical training) was a daily occurrence, and I continued training in martial arts. I participated in TaeKwonDo competitions to include three Jr.
In my early years, I was a skateboarder and competitive martial artist. That was my first workout after a Iong hiatus. I went into my garage, laid down, and proceeded to do eight crunches. I restarted my fitness journey on May 20, 2012.
