“I will not go back to where I was, I did not come this far to just come this far. I feel so happy energetic and positive about every aspect of my life it’s honestly a dream come true.”

The challenge has taken me to the next level in my life, when I first started in May of 2015 I was very uncoordinated and I was always hurting my back! As I went through my first challenge feeling discouraged everyone there kept telling me my body will get stronger and that it will get easier it was pretty darn hard but I kept going and I finished. I did  pretty good(:
Then I remember. Chad asking me if I was going to do challenge 7 and I said oh yeah!
I was doing pretty good no real back pain and I was doing some serious high cardio,
But I think I was indulging a little too much on my cheat meals, and my wife stopped coming because we moved and she did not have time, I felt alone then I started to find people that made me smile and made me feel welcome like Chad and Susan and Brian and Jessica Doss  I am very thankful to have found the friends I did .
Next thing I knew challenge #7 was over
Then Chad and Jessica both asked me if I was doing challenge #8 and I was like no doubt!, Off I went and I started going to meridian and orchard and listening to all the trainers and I found out that food is where it’s at the hard core work out with eating right and no cheat meals I turned into a freaking beast! Completely shredded you know the kind of results you see on tv! Seriously! If you want serious results you have to want it bad, you won’t appreciate it if you don’t earn it! …. I met all sorts of new people that loved having me there and that made me feel so good inside.
Coming where I came from about 13 years ago living on the streets having drugs consume my life and more then a few times almost taking my life I’m more then scared to go back from where I came from, so when people ask what is my why I refuse to give up! I will not go back to where I was, I did not come this far to just come this far. I feel so happy energetic and positive about every aspect of my life it’s honestly a dream come true.
Now I’ve been invited to  be trained by professional boxing coaches and will be fighting an amateur boxing match in June 2016 something I would have never had the courage to do without fitmania and all my friends and especially my wife for introducing me to fitmania in the first place I truly love all the fitmaniacs!
