Still Kicking.

Seven years ago, on June 21, 2004, I was laying on an operating table having my entire colon removed and my insides reconstructed. I had to have a bag on my side for 10 weeks while I healed enough to have my plumbing reconnected. After that, I generally laid around and got fat and happy.


Then in 2008, I found Beachbody. With Turbo Jam and then P90X, in the space of 6 months, I lost 33 pounds and am possibly in the best shape of my life. I've even had a doctor tell me I'm probably the healthiest patient he would see all day. That's good to hear after being so sick for so long. I've continued on, doing P90X, Insanity, Insanity:Asylum, a few Turbo Fire workouts here and there and have started Rev Abs - the program by Brett Hoebel, who is still at Beachbody as he does NBC's Biggest Loser.


The above leads to this: Let Nothing Stop You. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. You just have to get up. Set aside that hour a day (or less) to work on yourself. The cost of not doing so is staggering, not only to yourself but to the people you care about and who care about you. The benefits are priceless and limitless.


I should know. I'm still kicking.
