How'd we get we are??

Last week I was sitting in a waiting room WAITING (of course) -- Anyhow, as usual a conversation was started to ease the bordom of perpetual waiting bliss. The topic of having a history came up -- of course my favorite subject (the gym) came up -- t…

Profile Information

Being Body Proud is about respecting yourself... Your body is the ultimate machine and it's yours for life! So treat it well. Give it all the fuel it needs to run its most efficient and be its most effective. Improve your strength, flexibility, posture, health and even confidence. Then Inspire Body Proud to your family and friends!

being body proud is taking the initiative to transform and create a healthier you -- not to any one elses standards though -- In acknowledging all your hard work and dedication you need to feel comfortable with you -- push yourself within reason not to injury -- and take pride in knowing you're creating a livelier and healthier you for yourself and your loved ones.

I Joined the Body Proud Community to

Meet Like-Minded Individuals who Share 'My Story'

My Facts 'n Stats:

I'm 5'6" and right now just started my season diet to guest pose in Chicago this year on August 14th, 2010. I currently weigh 210 pounds -- contest time my waist is usually a 29" right now it's 35"

My Background // My 'Story"

I'm 31 years old with a beautiful wife and son. I am a student at Vatterott College as an Electrical Technology student. I really enjoy the grit and spit of the gym and all aspects of the fitness industry. I have accomplished much in the last few years and I give all the credit to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who saved me from a hellish addiction to drugs by allowing the opportunity to really see what is in store for me long term on earth if I didn't stop. We all call this opportunity prison. Body proud says to change your outlook. Well let me tell ya, it's sink or swim in that world, yes. If you have any sense at all though you take the advice of old school cats that will never have another opportunity to show the world that they are different people and live it out for them for yourself. Basically using there life as a learning tool. Originally working out started out as a way for me to lose the jitters of a cocain habit in prison. Kept me from just vegging out in my cell and getting high or in even more trouble than I was already in. Only thing is I didn't plan on enjoying it, getting addicted to the delicious muscular burn and pump of your blood, nor the satisfaction I would feel each year I would look in my mirror and notice my shirt was getting bigger and bigger.

Profession

Shift Work, Other

My Body Proud Beliefs:

To live is to overcome -- it's not getting it done perfectly rather how you navigated through the grit of life -- what are you gonna leave (overall) --

My Most Proud Moments // My Claim to 'FAME':

My Prime Body Proud Goals:

Increase My Confidence, Improve my Health, Become a Role Model to My Children & Family, Keep Me Young, Feel Better about Myself, Be an Inspiration to Others, Get Discovered - TV, Magazines, Sponsorship

Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals

I Am Looking for Advice On:

All aspects of the industry

My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1)

I WILL GET THROUGH THIS SCHOOL YEAR WITH AN "A" AVERAGE! I will not give up, I will meditate and pray more, I will gain some good weight and get prepared for Worlds, I will enjoy the journey, I will be a great da and husband, and I will be body proud even when I feel like giving up sometimes.

My Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:

you are what you eat, we could be worse so give thanks to God for what you do have, remember how you got where you are now in life, make sure you tell people your close to that you love them DAILY, try to not be so serious ALL the time -- have fun.

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:

right now it's a slow spiral into a full competition diet, around 3700 calories a day and cardio 5 days a week, w/ high blood volume training

I am Grateful For:

My many blessing afforded me by God, my wife and son, my dad, my sobriety, my coach and his ability to continuously empower me with knowledge, I have an excellent life group amassed from several individuals including several members of my local Thorton Family YMCA.

My Advice to You to Help You Reach Your Body Proud Goals:

Failure is quitting, not giving your 100%, sometimes risks are neccessary to grow and achieve greatness-- Greatness isn't defined by how much you have or even the awards but it could as simple as meeting a goal, seeing your son smile at you, praise from friends and family, your wifes bragging rights about how you look in some jeans, and whether or not you were a shining example of truth and love(that dont mean we were angels 100% of the time)

A Few Words about my Hero / Role Model / Trainer / Sponsor / Coach

Here is a guy who feel was placed in my life path for a reason. Though we dont kick it on a daily. He has helped me grow physically, but he has also been there to give me worthwhile advice that has helped me in my personal life at work and home. Plus he does great graphics work. RIGHT ON!!! To my dad who never told me I cant do something-and that if I put my mind to it I could do it--TO a wife who doesnt really get why I dig this so much yet always supports me even when I'm gone or always training

I learned about this site from: (Be specific please)

my coach,Mindy, and Jeffrey

BODYPROUD??

I don't think anyone should ONLY feel bodyproud because they LOOK good and FEEL great with a BANGING physique!! I don't believe that's how it's supposed to work!! Being bodyproud starts in the mind and spirit and the body follows. If your not proud of who YOU are at the particular moment in your life and you make a conscious decision to do something about it -- then that also means you have decided to quit self hating and self loathing yourself and be you -- comfortable -- skin and all -- and mo… Continue

The intermediate at home work

Have you gotten to where your regular calastenics workout at home has gotten too easy?? Maybe I can help you drop it in to a higher gear!!

Depending on what it is your working that day there are a few options for you to try --

LEGS -- On any given leg day squats would be my first choice but in a pinch you can achieve a great total leg work out with the walking lunge --

This excersise would involve a set of dumbbells (ones heavy enought o make you struggle
