Canadian Firefighter Gets Fit and Healthy with Hitch Fit

Micah LaCerte — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:21:29 +0000

Start of 16 Weeks

Weight: 201lbs

Waist: 39.5 inches

Russ is a Hitch Fit Online Client and Firefighter from Canada that through the holidays transformed his body and his life!! In 4 months Russ dropped 33lbs and 7.5″ off his belly. I love see the confidence of the after pictures!! As you can see in Russ’ after shot he is one HAPPY and HEALTHY GUY!!! Proud of you buddy

My name is Russ Friesen and I am a fire fighter. I have been lifting weights and working out for over 20 years, but I have still struggled with my weight most of my life. As I approach 40 years old I was getting close to the heaviest I had been at 5’7” I was 201lbs with a 39 inch waist. I had already switched up a pant size a while back and they were now getting tight. My 17 year old son said to me one day “Dad you should try and get back into shape”. It was shortly after I decided it was time to start. I found hitchfit online and started to read the before and afters and related to a lot of the clients. I sent Micah an email and started my plan immediately after I received it.

When I started in the program I resisted the difference in working out from what I was used to, but noticed results and was motivated to work harder every week. I felt so much better after only weeks. I am very goal oriented so having something to work towards continued to drive me forward even when I felt the temptation to waver or quit. Micah is a great motivator. I am impatient by nature and struggled here and there with bad weeks, but in the end feel great for my accomplishments. The change in lifestyle did not come with out its challenges since not everyone supports you, but it really is a great feeling when friends or strangers come and ask you how you did it. I am a long ways from where a want to be for sure, but am a lot closer than I was months ago. Thanks Micah and I look forward to my next goal or challenge.

Matts Transformation Video

I began my HitchFit journey with my wonderful wife through the couples bootcamp. My wife brought this program to my attention after seeing one of her friends transformation through the HitchFit program. I had always been an athlete and new of only one way to train and that was for athletic competition. Over the summer, I had developed unhealthy eating habits and had put on over 10 pounds and my weight reached 200lbs. With a little encouragement from my wife, we jumped into this journey together.

After being introduced to the program, I knew that I needed to make some changes to my lifestyle. I had started to snack between meals with unhealthy alternatives and my portion sizes at breakfast, lunch and dinner we out of control. Also, I had completely cut out aerobic exercise and was just lifting 2 times per week. Also, with coaching a baseball team in the summer, I would eat many of my meals after 10:00 or 11:00 at night.

I had always had a passion for being in the weight room but my training methods were that of an athlete training for competition without the cardiovascular exercise. Therefore, I was not seeing a change in my body and was starting to put on more body fat. I was not happy with the way that I had looked. Also, my workouts had become stagnet and I was lacking motivation to get into the weightroom. Both me and my wife wanted to change the way that we were living our lives without sacrificing the time that we have with our two children. We signed up for HitchFit Couples Bootcamp and began our transformation together. Once I received the plans, I was a little skeptical about the workouts and if I would be able to complete them. The first week was the most difficult but once we figured out the schedule, it became part of our routine. The different exercises and training methods really energized my day and I found that I had more energy to play with my kids and enjoy my work day. The meal plan gave me incentive to continue with the workouts and I started to see a change in the way my body was looking.

I lost 17lbs on HitchFit and dropped my body fat % by 9%. My wife and I continue to lead the lifestyle that we experienced on HitchFit. We are looking forward to continuing on this lifestyle journey together. HitchFit really changed our lives.

BRENDAS TRANSFORMATION VIDEO-

The decision to join Hitch Fit was not one that I made quickly. I heard about the program from a friend of a friend who was currently going through the program. She showed us the website of the ‘Before and After’ pictures, and I was blown away with the results these people were seeing! It also helped to know that the results were real, as we knew someone who was actually on the website – and no, the pictures were not altered!

After spending time reading testimonials of past Hitch Fit clients, I couldn’t help but see that I could actually accomplish my fitness goals. I too was a wife, mother of two, had a full time job, and kids activities going on many days of the week! However, after reading that all of these people had the same issues/barriers, I decided I needed to stop making excuses.

I have always been athletic and healthy, but since graduating college, I was never pushed the way I was when I was a collegiate athlete. I was in shape, but I never really felt like I was IN SHAPE! My husband I ate relatively healthy (eating whole wheat bread and egg whites meant we were nutritional gurus, right?). We worked out 4-5 days a week, but we weren’t seeing results – we knew something had to change, but we just didn’t know what. We live in a small town that didn’t have many options for personal training and we just kept doing the same workouts we had always done. I also love to run, but even after doing three ½ marathons and 5ks, I wasn’t losing any weight or getting any more toned. I was simply maintaining and that for me was not good enough! I had tried all the quick fixes/fad diets/weight loss pills on the market, and although they may have provided a short term fix, the weight always came back!

With not much convincing, I had my husband on board to sign up for the ‘Couples Boot Camp’ program. We didn’t do any of our workouts together, but it was so helpful to have someone to go through this with me. We had many holidays, vacations, parties, tailgates, and BBQ’s that would have been REALLY easy to cheat at if no one was watching! However, planning our meals ahead of time helped us realize that there are options (even if you have to pull out Tupperware at your child’s hockey games or college tailgates). Even though our program was online, we still got answers quickly to our questions, frustrations, and challenges. Having someone that we had to be accountable made a big difference.

Many people now ask us what Hitch Fit is and we always tell them the same thing. It’s a commitment. It’s a commitment to not just losing weight, but changing your mindset about what you know or think you know about exercising. In the past, our exercise was just balancing out what we were (or weren’t) eating. We were killing ourselves in the gym so that we could eat out with friends, or snack more at home and not feel guilty. Those days are definitely gone now and we both have the tools to continue seeing the change we want to see in our bodies. Our kids have even started eating better and don’t even mind trying what mom and dad are eating. This has definitely been a life changer for the entire Johnson family. I am not motivated to get certified myself as a personal trainer, so I can help motivate others, especially women see that they CAN change their bodies, but they have to be COMMITTED.
Thank you Micah and Hitch Fit for providing us with the tools we need and the results we’ve always wanted!

Mother Drops 35 lbs after having her Baby and Feeling Amazing for 2012!!

Micah LaCerte — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:51:53 +0000

What a Great way to Blast off 2012. Mari came to me about 8 weeks after having her Baby with a goal to get in the best shape of her life. In 16 weeks she went from 155-119 lbs. AWESOME. She is in better shape, better health and better spirits!!! Im so happy for Mari, Her Husband Curt and their new little baby!!! Nothing better then the gift of life and health!!!

I grew up in a very athletic family. My brother and sisters all excelled at any sport they put their hands on; I was the reader. Everyone encouraged me to be more active and find my sport, but nothing ever seemed to fit. After college, I realized how out of shape I had become and figured I needed to do something, anything. I began going to the nearest gym; I’d get on the elliptical for thirty minutes a time. Nothing changed, not my body, not my mind, not my spirit.

It took about ten years, but I finally realized what I lacked, discipline. I decided that each area of my life needed it. I didn’t even know where to begin, so I began simply. I started going to church every Sunday. There were to be no more claims that I was busy attending the Church of the NFL. I started being more careful with my money and began paying my bills when they were due and not before the late charge was assessed. The final thing was physical discipline. I felt like I had failed every time I tried. When I found out that a family friend had begun training people I decided to give it a try. I saw changes to my physique that I never had before. I met my husband during this time. I felt so close to my goals.

And then we found out I was pregnant and all of the old insecurities came racing to the forefront of my mind. Would I be able to stay in shape? We would have four kids between the two of us, all in car seats. How was I going to be able to handle that while working? And then morning sickness hit, and I could barely function. My normal favorites made my stomach turn, even when a container was opened across the room. I felt faint even when walking on the treadmill at a low speed. Fast food became my go to for every meal. McDonald’s had the best breakfast, Arby’s I could eat for lunch and dinner, throw Taco Bell or KFC in on occasion and that was my pregnancy meal plan. The OBGYN even suggested replacing my black coffee with Mountain Dew to give me more energy. When I asked how many; because one wasn’t enough, she said, “Try to keep it under 12.” I felt out of control, but I kept telling myself that I was coping. Once I had the baby, everything would return to normal. In the final trimester, when I was feeling better, I tried to start watching what I ate and would attempt to go to the gym to walk. I couldn’t replicate what I had been doing with the trainer, even the little I could remember; and I was constantly hungry. I remember I was reading through the Hitch Fit transformations and saw that they had a post-pregnancy program for breastfeeding moms; I knew I had to at least try.

The first time back in the gym was daunting. It was a new gym and I didn’t know where anything was besides the dumbbells. All I wanted to do was get on the elliptical, but I knew I’d have to figure out the weights sooner or later. So with my binder in hand I started through the exercises. After a couple of weeks, I started to feel more comfortable. The weight also started to drop very consistently. The nutrition kept me feeling full and I felt empowered by all of the information Micah had supplied me with through the program. I eat bad food when I’m stressed; because of Hitch Fit, I am aware of it, I try to make my food choices intentional and not a reaction to my environment. I have been Mountain Dew free for just over four months; and probably most importantly, I am at my lowest weight since high school and my strongest.

Looking forward, I’m so excited about the future. Micah has picked me up, dusted me off and put me back on the right track and I can’t wait to see where it will lead. Thank you!

Visualize Yourself Fit and Healthy

Micah LaCerte — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:15:48 +0000

Lets move into a area that is far too neglected by mainstream health and fitness professionals, the mind. Most books or courses concentrate on the physical side of weight gain or weight loss and completely neglect the mental side of things.

Visualization can play an important part in gaining or losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Changing their Physique can be difficult for many people who don’t use their minds to help in the process.

Visualization is a powerful technique that can help you make lasting lifestyle changes. Just by “day dreaming”, you can significantly improve your chances in achieving your goals. When we think positive and tell ourselves we can do something its more likely to happen.

We all at some point in our life visualize wanting the body like Greek God Statue or the Lady on the cover of your favorite magazine. This mental image of yourself is then transferred to your subconscious mind, which in turn starts to work on your body, shaping it in accordance with your mental image.

This means that if you program your subconscious with a mental image of yourself as a more fit individual, through persistence your mind will accept this and aid your body to conform to this mental image.

Once your mind is programmed with the proper mental images, it will start to work in assisting you . I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to believe in your visualization goals. You have to let go of your past failures and refuse to entertain any negative images that come into your mind.

If you can visualize your body at its perfect proportions, the subconscious mind will work to make it become a reality. It will then begin to positively reinforce your body into aiding the metabolism and eating habits.

Programming your mind into believing that you can achieve that body you have always desired, and then putting the work in will allow this dream to come true.

Try to think of a different image of yourself, then let your subconscious do the work for you. If you think of your body as being out of shape all the time, then the subconscious mind will find ways to make it so.

The sub-conscious looks after all of all your vital functions, it is the cause of all your good and bad habits, and also regulates the muscles of the body (The muscles are controlled by the sub-conscious) and body-fat composition on the body.

Try to visualize your body as lean and as muscular as you would like, and your mind will work on that image.

Brandi had to first Visualize and Believe before she could Transform

Relaxation

Relaxation the best way to reach the sub-conscious and will slow down the mind, turn off the exterior world so as to tune in to one’s inner self. The best times for these sessions are in the morning and late at night right, just before going to sleep.

Perform two sessions, one in the afternoon (Primary) and the other before going to sleep (Secondary) but once a day is quite sufficient. Sessions usually last 20 minutes, which isn’t time consuming especially when taking in the benefits received.

It has been stated that one of these sessions is equivalent to 2 hours of deep sleep and upon waking you will feel revitalized and full of energy. Believe me instead of worrying about time constraints; you will be looking forward to the next session.

When you begin your relaxation sessions, make sure you won’t be disturbed – lock the door, take the phone off the hook and loosen all clothing. Now find a comfortable position, whether it is lying down or sitting in a comfortable chair.

Sitting may be preferable as you may fall asleep if you become too comfortable. You want to be conscious and not asleep in order to tap into your sub-conscious mind.

Try to exhale all the air from your lungs completely and then breathing in through the nose. Take ten seconds to fill the lungs with air (not to capacity, but comfortable) hold for ten seconds and then exhale slowly through the nose for another ten seconds.

Each one of these breathing cycles should last for 30 seconds, complete five cycles and after each cycle you will be feeling more and more relaxed.

Having reaching this calm relaxed state, start your visualizations. Put together images that power your emotions. Make them alive and colourful. Make the scenes as real as possible and imagine yourself as muscular and toned as possible.

Picture yourself 12-16 weeks from now on the beach, walking briskly and confidently to your favourite spot, your breathing is normal and relaxed. You smile to yourself; you could keep walking like this for miles without feeling fatigued.

You lay your towel out and begin to take your clothes off revealing a muscular or toned body. You have just bought a brand new swimming suit which just weeks before would have been lying in your closet waiting to be used.

Glancing around you notice the beach is busy, you catch the eye of someone of the opposite sex, they smile at you and you smile back. You walk confidently to the water and swim a couple of hundred yards with no problem or fatigue.

Or try this:

Visualize your family and friends complimenting you about how good your body looks. Try to view the scene as it is happening this instant – in the present, not in the future.

Using these visualizations you can construct in your mind any scene that desire. See yourself exercising, socializing, in the company of friends.

Try and hear people complimenting you about your new muscular body, and watch their admiring glances. Make the mental image as real as possible.

Remember set a goal for your ideal weight, You must want to gain weight, Visualize yourself at your ideal weight, Use positive images at every opportunity ,Practice these

sessions on a daily basis and over a period of ten weeks you’ll be on your way to become more fulfilled, happier and muscular.

To sum up everything you must first believe you can do it, every negative thought that comes into your mind, every excuses must be thrown out and you must keep wokring towards the body and health you have always desired. Its is possible you just have to be willing to Believe!!!

Police Officer Loses 54 lbs and Now has 6 Pack Abs

Micah LaCerte — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:51:12 +0000

Kent Lost 54 lbs, dropped around 20% bodyfat and lost 11″ on his stomach in 6 months. UNREAL. Kent lives in the St Lousi Area and did everything through Hitch Fit Online. These numbers are amazing but what was even more amazing to be is how driven he was to continue you on and get to a even higher level. He plans on doing a half marathon too and I know he will do amazing.

Kents Video Testimonial

My journey into HitchFit begins like most others. I am happily married with two children. I became aware of HitchFit after seeing a fraternity brother’s transformation online. I noticed striking similarities in his before pictures to what I looked like. I am a police officer and was extremely unfit and out of shape. I was uncomfortable at work wearing the restrictive bullet proof vest, duty belt and uniform in general.

After being introduced to the program, I knew I needed to make some major changes in my life. Prior to starting the program, I led a very unhealthy lifestyle. I would not watch what or how much I ate. Many times after dinner, my wife and I would order pizza close to bedtime. It was not uncommon for me to eat a half a bag of cookies in a day. As a police officer, I worked shift work and would use alcohol as a way of dealing with insomnia.

I had exercised in the past and had lost close to fifty pounds; however I did this in an unhealthy way. I quickly gained the weight back. During this time I lifted weights and never saw any improvement with the way I looked. Both my wife and I knew we needed to lose weight and make changes in our lives. We signed on with HitchFit and began our transformation together. Once I received the plans, I was overwhelmed, but I knew I could stick to the program. The first two weeks were the most difficult and that had to do with the meal plan. Also, the first time I did a workout I thought there was no way I could get through it. I did a little more each day and it eventually got easier. The meal plan definitely gave me more energy at the gym than my prior attempts at losing weight.

I have lost 50 pounds on HitchFit and I continue to lead the lifestyle, just not as strict. I have seen a noticeable difference in the way I look and want to continue to lead a healthy lifestyle. I am actually gaining muscle. The way I looked when I started is something I never want to see again.

Fitness of the Mind, Body and Spirit.

Micah LaCerte — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:34:08 +0000

Fitness of the Mind

Meditation, an exercise recommended for everyone, but especially those of us with hectic, stressful lifestyles, is defined as an engagement in contemplation, especially of a spiritual or devotional nature. Meditation has been shown to relieve stress, and promote overall good health, by simply reflecting upon our day, and finding happiness within ourselves. This and other mind exercises help us to keep our mind fit, and functioning at top performance levels

Our spirituality and meditation practices are the tools we have available to keep our mind as fit as we keep our bodies. The mind is a complicated and versatile machine, but it can become overwhelmed and unable to function correctly, if we don’t take the time to keep it cared for.

Our mind has varying levels of operation, known as brainwaves. As we pass through the different stages of our day, we enter various stages of brain wave activity. The brain uses this tool as one way to allow us time to rest our busy mind, and cope with all the pieces of information we’ve received, a way to kind of “mind file” for the day.

When we don’t give adequate time for these processes, or we simply don’t get enough rest, our mind cannot maintain its state of fitness, just like our bodies aren’t capable of fitness if there is no chance to rest and replenish.

Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the power of the energy that flows through our bodies; this energy radiates from our mind as well. It is believed to be the chief from of transportation for our body’s nervous system to carry out communication.

Breathing techniques, music, aromas, and candle therapy are all ways we utilize the opportunities to reflect on our day, allow our mind to rest and replenish itself for further use. But are these methods keeping us mentally fit? Yes, but they don’t work alone. The absorption of new information, new opportunities to learn, and creative play provide our mind the stimulus it needs in order to stay fit and functioning.

The onset of many age-related mental disorders occurs because we haven’t taken the time to keep our mind youthful, and involved in new learning. Learning new things forces our mind to form new neural pathways. We need those neural pathways for the transmission of information from the body to the mind, or with our ability to form new memories. If we don’t exercise the mind, we lose the fitness.

We must remember over the course of our daily routine, to make time to maintain mental fitness, as we strive to maintain physical fitness. The nice thing about the whole process is that, as we go about accomplishing these tasks, quite often the opportunities for preservation and care are interchangeable. We can help to quite our mind as we take our twenty minute walk. Or we have the opportunity to build muscle strength as we meditate.

Often just the opportunity to listen to music will allow our mind the chance it needs to relax and regroup. It’s not always the most formal of occasions that we find an available chance to reflect and listen to that inner voice. It can be in the middle of the day, with the wind blowing through your hair, and the radio turned up really loud!

Fitness of the Body

Bodily fitness is being able to deal with and handle the daily stresses of life, good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits. Nutrition refers to the nurturing of our body, in our ability to keep it healthy and functioning as it is supposed to do. Our ability to provide the body with all the necessary food, vitamins, and minerals so that we continue to thrive in our daily life processes is a part of overall fitness. Fitness refers to the condition of good physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Fitness of the body occurs when all the body processes, physical and mental are functioning as the peak levels. What does it take to achieve complete body fitness? It requires more than simply taking a trip to the gym, or a walk in the park.

Many factors come into play when we consider our body’s fitness. The daily intake of food, vitamins, and water are absolute necessities, and most often the items thought about. What about the conditioning of our body to deal with life each day?

Does our physical exercise have anything to do with the fitness of our body? Absolutely. For one condition without regard to the other, is not a complete whole. The body includes all of our physical processes, our mind, and our physical being as a whole. When we give thought to the fitness of the body, most often we contemplate our physical condition as it applies to our cardiovascular needs and our weight. But our bodies are much more than heart and a nice figure. What about all of our other organs? Are they fit? How do we maintain a fitness of the entirety? Daily physical exercise that benefits the body as a whole, taking time to rest and restore what has been depleted from our body over the course of the day, and making sure that we adequately supply our entire body with the nutrition necessary for healthy function.

If we use our resources wisely and educate our selves about the things our body needs to maintain fitness, over the course of our life, it isn’t a difficult thing to attain. But you cannot abuse your body for years, and then hope for immediate results in trying to attain overall fitness. It didn’t become unfit overnight, and it won’t become fit again that quickly.

Proper attention to the physical needs of each part of your body results in the fitness of the whole. Every part of your physical body exists to work in unison with another part of the body. Two hands are necessary for optimal functioning of the limbs, two feet, two eyes, etc. The physical body is designed to work better than any machine invented to date. It is more complex and powerful than any piece of equipment we have on the market. It takes more abuse than believable, and continues to operate, even without the daily requirements being met, for several days. It is a fascinating machine, as machines go. But it is an even more fascinating subject, when we choose to care for our bodies as the temples they really are. They house our mind and soul, and when the body is fit, it does its job tremendously well.

Fitness of the Spirit

Fitness of the spirit refers to our ability to cope with the everyday stresses and strains of living our life. Quite often, the ability to cope overwhelms us, and if we don’t give sufficient time to the fitness of the spirit, or soul, we lose our ability to function properly.

Today, the evidence of that inability exists in the form of anxiety attacks. The attacks can range from extremely mild to unbelievably severe. What is happening to us when we experience anxiety attacks? Our system goes into a form of shock. I refer to as a sort of “soul shock”; nothing is physically wrong that should cause us to become ill, and nothing is wrong mentally that should cause us to experience the panic; it is within our spirit that we have lost control.

This loss of control can be momentary, or it can last for years. The most debilitating part of the process is the inability to function even in the most usual of routines. Short trips to the grocery store become impossible, because of the panic they create within the person.

Having witnessed these panic attacks for a brief period of time, I can attest to their reality. It is a frightening event that only serves to add to the panic. The person experiencing these attacks feels as if they have lost control over their ability to function. They cannot meet deadlines; they aren’t able to provide for their family, there are a host of reasons that cause us to come to the place of loss of control.

I believe the hectic pace of life in this 21^st century only serves to enhance the need to give our spirit, our soul, our inner voice a chance to be heard. We drown out any opportunity to connect with ourselves during the course of our day, because we schedule everything, multi-task everything, and leave no down time for a conversation with our self. It’s impossible to listen to your inner needs, if you’re talking on the phone, listening to the radio, or interacting with your children.

At the same time this era has taken from us any chance meeting of our spiritual needs, it has also provided more opportunity for planned downtime. We have audio, video, and even massage clinics that offer us the chance to slow down and connect with our inner self. Never before has there been so much available to help us help our selves. What is the hold up? The biggest detriment is our lack of discipline and devotion to our own health and well-being. What we tend to forget during this age of super-human feats, is that the only way to sustain the super-human person, is to keep that person, all aspects of that person, well.

Fitness comes through concentrated effort, discipline, and devotion, to our body, mind and soul. The fitness of our spirit or soul affects all other parts of our person, as evidenced in the presence of panic attacks, mental breakdowns, and the inability to cope. The need to attend to our fitness needs should be added to our daily “to do” list, so that we schedule in enough time for our selves! You have to Take time each day and relax, focus on things not related to stress!! A Healthy Spirit helps a Healthy mind and Healthy Body

MATTS TRANSFORMATION VIDEO

My name is Matt Payne. I am a Kansas City Police Officer on the SWAT team. You would think that a Police Officer especially a SWAT team Officer would be in great shape right? Well not so much. I had let myself become overweight and out of shape. My uniforms had become tight and uncomfortable. I had just got some 2XL shirts because the XL shirts were too tight. I was wearing size 38” waist pants. My friends and co-workers would joke with me and call me “fat”. This really affected my self-esteem. I would suck my gut in while looking in the mirror to make myself feel better about my appearance. I WAS IN DENIAL. In reality I was the heaviest I had ever been (217 lbs). I lacked motivation and energy. I was embarrassed of who I had become. I would lose my breath doing minimal activity (such as putting my boots on).

I would work out in the gym, but never really got any results. I was never really sure what exercises to do or for how long. I would run for a little bit and lift a few weights and call it good. Well that just wasn’t working anymore. My diet was horrible (unless cheese burgers, fries and ice cream are considered health foods). I have never had a good diet; I pretty much ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it. I never ate breakfast. I would wake up and head off to work only to find myself starving at lunch time. I would usually gorge myself for lunch and then find myself starving by the time I got home for dinner. I would then end up gorging myself again and then go to bed on a full stomach. I was the guy who would tell myself I would just work out a little bit harder in the gym. Well that only worked in my 20’s. Now I was 39 years old and it seemed that the thought of something sweet would make me gain a pound.

My cholesterol was at an all time high. My blood pressure was borderline high. I knew my health was suffering from my poor diet. I needed a change. But what change? My life is so busy. How would I have time for a change? I am married with 4 kids. I have a full time job and 2 part time jobs. I also own and operate a Lawn Care/Snow Removal Company. How would I have the time to do a workout program or diet? I needed help!

I then learned about Hitch Fit and was thrilled to see people I actually knew who had completed the program with great results. I read their stories online and could relate to them. I was motivated to make a change. I desperately needed a change (for my family, my career, my self esteem, but mostly for myself). I decided to take the plunge and buy the program. I am not sure how I did it, but I found the time. My wife supported me and encouraged me along the way. The diet was tough at first, but got easier once I figured out how to get prepared for the week. The workouts and cardio were very demanding. I would find myself working out at midnight after work, just to get the workout in. I would choose to workout, instead of getting a good night’s sleep. My hard work and dedication was paying off, I watched the scale go down week by week. I could not believe how fast the pounds were dropping. My clothes were getting baggy. I looked forward to sending Micah my report for the week with my new weight and measurements. My friends and co-workers would make positive comments on my changes. It kept me motivated and on track. I was holding myself accountable. I would not let myself fail.

Finally, I am proud to say I now weigh 180lbs. (That’s 37 pounds down!) I had to get new uniforms because they were falling off of me. I now have a 32” waist. I have not wore 32” pants since High School. I traded in those 2XL shirts for L shirts. I feel great. I may not be a fitness model, but I am in the best shape of my life! My cholesterol numbers are at an all time low. My blood pressure is perfect. I found happiness within myself that I have needed for quite sometime. My friends and coworkers no longer call me “fat”. It felt great to go on a beach vacation and not be embarrassed to take my shirt off. I know I still have some more work to do, but I am headed in the right direction. I am going to make healthy choices and continue with my workouts going forward. I have learned how to eat and workout properly. I will never go back to the overweight unhealthy person I was a few months ago. Thanks Micah for your help along the way.
