Transformation Tuesday!
7 months ago I started my transformation with my wife. I had gained 20 lbs, didn't make weight for the PT test in the Army, no energy, and something needed to change. At 64 inches, being a little over 160 lbs made things that I was good at a challenge. I used to do 90 plus push-ups and run like the wind. With my 160 lb frame not being all lean muscle mass, I got tired pretty easily after 50 push-ups and instead of running like the wind, I just got winded.
So, what happened? I was starting to think that it was just a natural progression. I thought that my metabolism was on strike and that this was just how things are when you get older. I did go to the gym when it was convenient, and I did a little running here and there.
What I discovered, is that while my body was changing, it was also not responding well to all the crap I was eating, and my workouts were not consistent, or intense enough to get results.
7 months ago I started a home workout program with my wife. The best thing about the workout is that it was only 25 minutes and it was within the comfort of our own home. We also replaced one of our meals with a convenient meal replacement shake. As we started our journey together, we slowly transformed everything else about our unhealthy eating habits and completed our fitness program.
Since completing Focus T25, my wife and I have tried other fitness programs and have continued to enjoy the benefits they offer. I won $500 for my transformation, and Melanie has begun her training as a Figure competitor.
We now realize that getting older isn't an excuse for getting out shape. You have a choice, and while it may require change, we are here to help. Melanie and I have enjoyed our journey, and we want to pay it forward. So, if you want to take the challenge, come bring it!
