Diet

I finally realized my mission in life…..Inspire and Change Lives!

Only a person who has been there and has faced the same challenges and struggles can truly understand the difficulty, physically and emotionally, of trying to lose weight. I have been there, FACED the challenges and OVERCAME the struggles, and I truly understand how difficult it is. It's never too late to get yourself in the best shape of your life!!

If I had the option to choose my dream job, it would have to be Chris Powell's on Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition.

Helping others transform their lives and showing them that IT CAN BE DONE is my Ambition in life. This is something I am very passionate about.

"Making the Impossible, POSSIBLE!"


This must be the most asked question.
What did you do?

I would not call it a diet but rather a life-style change.
After being challenged by a friend of mine, WBFF fitness model Andrey Davidenko, and speaking with a few people on what I should eat, I chose a High Protein Diet with a Moderated Carb intake. I did not completely eliminate Carbs because they are a major source of our energy. I used the "little rule" If it was originally white in color, I removed these items from my diet. These foods consisted of rice, pastas, breads, crackers, and tortillas. When it came to eating Carbs, I would eat whole vegetables, whole fruits, and whole grain cereals. When eating out and ordering a salad, I completely ate it dry. Absolutely No Dressing! Dressing takes the HEALTHY out of the salad. I also stayed away from Ketchup and Mayonnaise. I completely removed sodas, juices and any other item that are not Water. I strictly drink Water!!

I allowed myself one cheat meal a week which usually fell on Friday Nights. When going out to dinner with friends, I would eat whatever I wanted, but sticking to water as my beverage.

When it came to Exercise, I stuck to straight Cardio. I began walking for 45 minutes a day and did so for at least 1 week. The following week I began jogging, working my way to where I completely jogged for the entire 45 minutes. I am currently running anywhere from 5 to 10 miles a day.

Gym


Evening Thoughts

As I was finishing up with my workout and getting my things together in the locker room, I felt a tap on my shoulder as I heard,

"I see you working hard day-in and day-out in here"
"awesome work and keep it up"

I thanked him for the compliment and heading home. Going to the gym is not my life, but it is a huge part of my life and who I am. Every time I walk through the doors, I make an effort to give it my all. As the famous quotes states, "actions speak louder than words." My actions and everything I do are to inspire and motivate those who question their ability to accomplish their own fitness goals. This is where Discipline also comes to play. I will be the first to admit that I do have days where I question if I should or shouldn't go to the gym. Always overcoming that feeling, I seem to have the best workouts on those days. I will continue to keep the gym as a part of my life and work hard to reach my fitness/health goals. I know personally what being overweight does to you physically and mentally and want to show the world that its something that anyone can overcome! Its definitely not easy, but its an obstacle that anyone, no matter what age, can overcome!

Set Goal, makes Dreams and work Hard to conquer them! I AM!!
