Hi Christina,
Thanks for the add. Good luck with your future goals. You appear to be off to a great start.
Profile Information
- My Plug:
- Machinist.
- My BodyPROUD Story
- As I hit 30 all the "signs of aging" were kicking in: heartburn, back pain, joint aches, difficulty sleeping, etc. It was "normal".
Over time, you never see yourself changing. Especially changing for the worse. But just like a mature tree that you see every day never changes, it is. Just visit a place where you played as a child twenty years ago. If the trees are still around they're probably a helluva lot bigger.
After a company picnic a few years back, photos were posted up at work. In one I was standing in profile. Who the hell was I looking at? It was an eye opener.
I went on a diet. Nothing weird. I just started looking at the calorie content of everything and bought the lowest; or as low as I could go and still enjoy the food. I also stopped drinking Pepsi (4 cans a day, minimum). Stopped buying food from the cantine at work, instead I brought my own (that also ended up saving me about $50 a week). And finally, stopped eating cheese. Glorious, glorious cheese. Without even trying, I lost over 70lbs.
Surprisingly, I also lost the heartburn, backpain (well, it's much less frequent), and I sleep better. The aches went away too, but were soon replaced by other aches, especially in my elbows. Arthritis? Turns out it may have been mercury poisoning. As part of my new diet I was consuming four Albacore tuna sandwiches a week (two cans) for lunch. Turns out there's a lot of mercury in tuna, especially in the larger variety like Albacore. I stopped eating all that tuna, and the joint aches were completely gone after about a few months. I still enjoy tuna (Skipjack), but no more than a two cans a month. The joint pain hasn't come back.
- My bodyPROUD Goals:
- Hopefully it will be as a recognized artist/photographer. We'll see.
And not in the "Hey, that's, uh, ... umm. Oh, damnit. I recognize him though", way.
- My AHA Life Defining Moments:
- Not sure I'll ever love showcasing my physique, but I do appreciate all the work others go through to achieve theirs.
- My Transformation Triumphs!
- I'm here aren't I?
(I hope I can change these comments later.) ^_^
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- To see if the legends are true; is fitness really the fountain of youth?
- Life Advice that Helped Me:
- What you feel is NOT age. It's something in your life that you've been neglecting.
Alright, it might be age, but that's still no reason not to try to do something about it. Ultimately, you're the one making the decision about the choices life has presented to you.
- How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:
- Life happens.
Deal with it.
- Please Help ME with:
- My story involves many, many pages of unfulfilled possibilities. I'm lucky enough to have been born with a decent bodytype, as well as some artistic skills. Unfortunately I've developed neither.
The fact of the matter is one's 'story' isn't over until the book is closed. Mine is still open. Though the plot has been rather sparse and uneventful, I'm still holding the pen, the final chapter is many pages away (* knocks on wood *), and I ultimately chose to write my story with purpose or not. As of today, I chose to write with purpose.
- My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
- As a forum of positive people and attitudes, I'm hoping l'll be energized to move to the next level of replacing some of the weight I lost with some decent muscle. That, and maybe I'll get some energy in my life; both physically and creatively.
- Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:
- Entered an art competition as a kid at a local exhibition and lost. The reason given was that the drawing was "obviously" not drawn by a child. It caused quite a furor amongst my classmates.
Kind of lame. But it must have meant something me having remembered it all these years.
- My Hero / Role Model / Trainer / Sponsor / Coach / Guru... and Why
- None.
- I learned about bodyPROUD.org from:
- Guylaine Rochon
