My Transformation

The pic on the left was 4 years ago at 255lbs. About a year after that was taken I found out my wife and I were going to have a little boy and i decided it was time to make a change so i could be there for him for a long time. Now I am down to 183lbs a total lost of 72. I also start running competitively and ran my first race in 2010. My first run was a 2 miler that took me 18 minutes. The last 5k i ran was 21:08 with a goal of a sub 20 minute 5k by January 1st 2013. I am also training for a half marathon that is in February. All this transformation inspired me to transform another area of my life. During all thus I was pursuing an Engineering degree and decided to change my major. I am now pursuing a Sports and Exercise Science degree with the intention of working with over weight and obese children to teach them a better lifestyle. So to everyone I say go get those goals you have for yourselves. Push yourself as if someone else where doing the pushing.
