Group Centergy with (L to R) Warren Dusseau, Todd Carr, birthday girl Becky Holcomb, myself, Stewart Flinn and Tom Holcomb -- one of my best mornings at Genesis --Friday 12-16-11

In May 2011, I weighed 270 lbs and smoked a pack of cigarettes a day. I had been overweight for most of my life and hated myself. I've tried all the quick diet pills and quick fixes and had more failures than I can remember.

Late June 2011, the light bulb went on and I decided to arm myself with knowledge on getting healthy. I studied nutrition and started exercising.... the only way to accomplish body transformation is to master caloric deficits. ACCOUNTABILITY IS KING.

This blog will show my intense journey to losing over 85 lbs in the past 8 months, while quitting smoking and finding the love of my life. If  I can inspire some more people to do the same, my journey would be even more meaningful.... this has become my higher purpose. 

Thank you to Alan Hirsch and Joe Stierwalt for their guidance in getting this blog rolling.


Need to start with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY  wish to my dear friend and mentor, Coach Becky Holcomb. Becky has been a tremendous influence with her joy for instructing Group Power, Group Centergy and Group Ride classes. Don't ask me how she memorizes everything for those 3 vastly different classes. She has such a joy for teaching!  Becky and her hubby, Tom , gave us a treat in Group Power this morning by team teaching.  Good luck finding a better couple -- they still look like newlyweds 12 years into their marriage.
