Exercise Begins in Earnest

Now that I have lost nearly 60 pounds, I have the ability to run, climb and do calisthenics like I could fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, I was lazy and procrastinated, avoiding exercise and opting to do less healthy things. I smoked, I drank and I partied. I was 29 and the world was at my fingertips. Nothing could go wrong. Or so I thought.

Fast forward five years, eight years, fourteen years and I grew in size until I was nearly 270 pounds and suffering from all kinds of weight related ailments. I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, all the early signs of diabetes, a fatty liver, irritable bowel syndrome and more. I was getting sicker every day and one day, I realized I could not pick up my daughter without a lot of pain in my shoulders, elbows and wrists. Was I getting arthritis? Who knows, several months later, I was introduced to a product called LifePak Nano, a antioxidant rich supplement that would more than meet my missing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. But what happened next shocked even me. My symptoms that I thought were an early onset of arthritis went away after only six weeks of LifePak Nano. I could not explain it. The distributors who sold it had no explanation and the company said we could not say that it cured or got rid of my symptoms, but all I know is that I could pick up my daughter without pain.


Fast forward 18 months into my LifePak Nano, and around 12 months into my AgeLoc Vitality consumption and my whole world fell apart prompting me to make a choice to change myself forever. To make myself into the best man I could ever be. To do something so shocking that not even people who didn't know me could ignore what was happening to me. I decided to transform myself into a health and wellness enthusiast, and make that my business. I realized that all the while I had been trying to sell health supplements, I had remained fat and unhealthy. Who in their right mind would ever purchase health supplements from a man who, while taking them, remained unhealthy? No one serious about their health, that is for sure.

So I fasted. I lost weight, and I began to exercise. A little at first, and more and more each day. I didn't let myself become discouraged. I pushed ahead, one day at a time. I have to admit, I've been a tad obsessed with my body fat. Getting rid of it. Making it go away, and seeing parts of my body I don't think I've seen since I was eleven years old. My sides are almost clear of fat, my belly (stubborn fat) is still retaining, but other places are virtually fat free. My face really is showing my fat loss in a startling way, even to me.

On the 18th of December, I jogged for the first time in many years. I mean really jogged. It was the first day of pure juice and I had energy, plus, I was much lighter than I had been having had lost nearly 40 pounds by that time. I jogged, worked out with my hand weights and did calisthenics. I increased my reps gradually, and continue to do so. Five days ago, I began climbing the stairs in a condo complex that will soon be a part of my past. I decided to take this opportunity to climb the stairs every single day until I leave. At nearly 700 calories per session, I'm looking to really slim down. I leave my old home on the 29th of January, never to return. From now to then, I have approximately 18 more days to climb these stairs. Given that I've already climbed them for 5 days, that will be a total of 23 days of stairs at 700 calories a day for a grand total of 16,100 calories or almost 5 pounds. That added to my daily calisthenics and reduced calorie diet and I should be able to lose up to 10 pounds in these next few weeks. I would like to see myself at around 180 pounds (81 kilos) by the time I move on to the next chapter of my life. My rebirth!

One surprising part of my calisthenics routine is that I can now do nearly five full pull ups, twenty pushups, fifty crunches and countless jumping jacks. I'm able to do exercises that even when I was 29, I was unable to do due to drinking and smoking way too much. Its been over ten years since I stopped both, and now, I have my lungs back, my liver back and I am quickly gaining my health back. Every day, I progress a little further. And every day, I come one step closer to my goal.

I would like to note that none of this would have been possible without the supplements I've been taking. My 24 day water fast would have ended in days had I not had LifePak Nano, AgeLoc Vitality, Marine Omega and Bone Formula from Pharmanex to replenish vitamins, minerals and other essentials for my body while it was getting no external sources from food. Also, when I started exercising, the pain of long dormant muscles being taxed again would have been too great too endure had I not had this amazing product from Pharmanex called OverDrive which helped to reduce the painful aftereffects of strenuous exercise.

Because these products have done so well, I now believe that I have a very legitimate sales pitch to anyone who wants to be free from food addiction, free from their hunger which has them trapped. Free from feeling like they can never change and free from the depression of being fat.

Fat people try to exercise, but most lose hope because of how difficult it is to exercise while fat. My solutions is to get thin first, then, when the fat is gone, exercise like there is no tomorrow and you will never have to look back.
