Profile Information

I Joined the Body Proud Community to
Realize my Personal Goals
My Facts 'n Stats:
My name is Don. I'm a 46 year old single dad of four great kids. I've been working out for over 20 years and I would like to pass that philosophy along to my kids as well as others.
My Background // My 'Story"
I began fitness training when I was twenty-one when I joined my first gym. Since then being fit has always been a part of my life. In the early nineties I worked in a small gym and I was fortunate to learn proper form from people who knew what they were doing, and I was able to pass that along at a time when trainer certifications were rare.

I continued to train at a gym throughout my thirties, although having small children caused me to skip a couple of years. At 35, after my divorce, I got back into the gym in earnest and I have been a regular ever since.

I'm a civil engineer by training, but I lost that job last year to the ailing economy. I decided to pursue my other talents and passions as opposed to civil engineering, of which teaching and fitness were two of those. It lead naturally to becoming a personal trainer.

I learned the concepts of proper nutrition last year as well, and that allowed me to push my training and fitness level to new heights.

My new careers are now: ACE Certified Personal Trainer, a part-time model and actor, substitute teacher, kids partner dancing instructor. I'm also a photographer and Beachbody Coach.

There are so many people looking for help to get fit and I look forward to helping them!
Profession
Teacher, Personal Trainer &/or Fitness Professional, Parent, Entrepreneur, Health & Lifestyle, Entertainment Industry, Model
My Body Proud Beliefs:
I joined Body Proud because I want to be a part of an organization that promotes values such as sportsmanship, camaraderie, healthy lifestyle, fitness and appearance.
My Most Proud Moments // My Claim to 'FAME':
Watching my kids grow into really great people.
My Prime Body Proud Goals:
Become a Role Model to My Children & Family, Keep Me Young, Compete in Physique Showcase Events, Sculpt My Physique, Be an Inspiration to Others, Get Discovered - TV, Gain Exposure
Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals
My new goals are to continue to live the BodyProud lifestyle, grow in my new career as a personal trainer, and possibly compete in another FAME event this year.
I Am Looking for Advice On:
Body building posing and routines. After watching the body builders at the Atlantic City show I've realized I have everything to learn about posing and putting a routine together.
Job Description // Shameless Plug for My Products or Services :-)
As a result of becoming an unemployed civil engineer due to the economy, I decided to explore my other talents:
I'm turning my photography hobby into a business. You can see some of my recent photography work:

I am now an ACE certified personal trainer.
Part time actor and model.
Substitute teacher
And a third party insurance inspector to help pay the bills.

I became a coach for Beachbody to help more people reach their fitness goals. Look for me at www.Teambeachbody.com/DonDenton and http://www.beachbody.com/DonDenton
Status
single, looking for love, looking for friendship, taking on new clients, heterosexual
My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1)
I was in attendance at the FAME Philadelphia Event on Valentines Day 2009 and took over 300 pictures. I was very impressed with what I saw and the type of competition.
My Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:
Life is about balance in all aspects of our family, career, and lifestyle.
My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
I've been able to spend a lot more time training these days and I was able to lose 15 lbs. Part of that is from additional exercise but most of it is a result of learning proper nutrition.
I am Grateful For:
Everything I have in life. Life isn't about having the things you love; it's about loving the things you have.
My Advice to You to Help You Reach Your Body Proud Goals:
Diet is a four-letter word! Proper nutrition is the key to becoming fit and lean.

Thx Don! I didnt realize that some simple math could be so useful! I will take your advice and go with the slow and steady progress. You know that feeling that you get once you have had enough and patience flys out the window!? Thats where I am at.... Again, many thanks for the advice! =)

Thx for the 2 cents! I really do appreciate the feedback. So you really think 3lbs a week is too ambitious? I am just really sick and tired of being sick and tired if you know what I mean. I know I have a great body under the fat and extra lbs.

I'm trying but it seems I can always find something that I'm not happy with. I've really got to work on not being so hard on myself.

Wow-that is alot of snow. We are actually getting hit by it today. My mood is due to me being mad at myself for not reaching personal goals set for myself yet....but sulking is not going to get me there-I just need to remain consistent, focused and motivated. Sometimes its good to get knocked down so to speak-because most likely you get up swingin' or fighting even harder than before for what you want. I lost my desire and mojo for a bit-but I am getting it back. The weather does affect me too. Thanks for showing concern-that was sweet-I appreciate it. Well-have fun with the snow-hehe-take care!! :)
