100 pounds and a New Life!

A few years ago I was a wreck, I had no guidance in my life, was lost and overweight. I had always struggled with lower self confidence so when college came and organized sports stopped for me the weight sky rocketed. After awhile I was so depressed about what I had become I needed to find a way out.

What I found was that I had to make the mental change first. It was no longer "Lose weight then be happy" it became "be happy then lose weight." So I went about doing so. I overcame years of guilt and self burden, built my own nutrition plan geared toward one thing, fueling my exercise. As for exercise, the amazing thing is I only worked out for 20 - 30 minutes. I focused on low intensity fat burning cardio to start then high intensity low weight lifting. I do this everyday, which allows me to never be sore and always moving forward.



Since I began this process I have found many ways to reprogram my mind and build inner strength. All of this I wanted to share and have started a new life. I wrote the book Reaching the Summit: Mind and Body Weight Loss for Life describing every step I took and then have turned that into a online presentation in order to help as many as I can!

Today I have kept the weight off for nearly 2 years, and have begun to run races for fun. I hope you find yourself working toward your dream future as well!
