Hi All!
It's been awhile, I know! My apologies for being so absent, but I have some very exciting things happening in my life right now! I just returned from a fabulous work trip on the east coast, where I was able to catch up with fellow BLRer, Keith... (sorry that I missed you, Amanda! I had no idea you were so close!)... I also have officially lost 240 lbs of dead weight, by the name of Greg. New York and Philadelphia catalyzed the demise of our "friendship," which was apparently not all it appeared to be. So, good riddance and deuces! Please tell your wife I said, "Good luck!" Ha!
I can't believe how much life can change in just a few short weeks! I've finally got my mojo back! The most exciting thing that has occurred is that I've teamed up with a few people from The Biggest Loser TV show, and we have some fantastic events on the horizon!
As I type this to you, I am sitting in Dr. Huizenga's study (he has a beautiful home), taking a break from planning a very exciting business venture with him and some former Biggest Losers, including last season's at-home winner, Mike Messina.... I know, right? Me? With Dr. H and Mike?!?!? Insanity!
I can't say much more than that right now, but please stay tuned for more info! Dr. H has been extremely kind and so hospitable on this recent trip to L.A. What an amazingly intelligent and interesting man! Working with him has been an incredible experience! Mike's not so bad either, as I'm sure many of you ladies would agree! Haha ;)
Through the last few weeks, I have had to face my challenges with weight loss, head-on. No more running from it. No more hiding. I mean, let's face it - Dr. H is the picture of excellent health, and I... well... er...not so much. If I'm ever going to work with the man and represent a fitness/health brand, I'll need to continue my journey and get very serious about it, startiiiiiiiing.... now. I've already adjusted my sugar intake tremendously. I am still working on the alcohol because it's extremely difficult to turn down a cold beer on a hot day :)
Tomorrow, I am heading to Dr. H's medical office in Beverly Hills to receive the same tests that the Biggest Loser contestants are subjected to when they join the show. Granted, I've already lost over 70 lbs in the past year, but I've also been "stagnant" since February 2012. The word stagnant is in quotes because it is not an actual stagnance via natural causes. Rather, it is self-sabotage, numerous excuses, and laziness. I'm working on these things in every aspect imaginable, but it's still a process that takes time and perserverence. I believe I was lacking the latter before I came to Dr. H's house.
Observing Dr. H's routine and lifestyle, first-hand, has been somewhat of an eye-opener; a busy, prominent and very successful doctor who works out every morning and gets up at 4:30am! I now realize that I can do it too!!!!... and I'd better! If I'm going to continue to partner with him and the others, I need to practice what I am preaching.
So, tomorrow, I will post my stats (if they're avaialble immediately after my tests), and my new journey will have officially begun! I hope you all enjoy following me (if you so choose) and are inspired by whatever may come! I think I've found my path and I'm once again excited about fitness!
Between Amanda Leigh Tyson getting down to my size in just a few short months of insane workouts (Go, girl! You AMAZE me! Love you!), and Dr. H's motivation (Have you seen his abs? Holy crap!), I think I stand a fighting chance! I am blessed with positive influences and supportive friends! This has to work!
See you on the fit side!
