Exactly 1 year ago in May, I was experiencing some scary health issues that made me take notice of how I was eating and living. Granted I wasn’t a fast food junkie, or addicted to sweets (well, maybe a little), but I most certainly wasn’t going anywhere positive with how I treated my body or overall health.
My wife had been slowly moving the family into healthier eating (or trying to… a 3 and 6 year old don’t adjust well, especially when dad isn’t taking it as seriously as he should). So long story short is that I decided (mostly out of fear) that it was time for change.
I began eating better, and working out twice a week with an old acquaintance and former client of mine, Aaron Cobb of Grand Rapids Fitness (www.getfitgr.com) and started to see results within the first 2 months! In fact over the last year Aaron through his coaching has enabled me to not only bench my body weight (something I never thought I’d do) but do it over 50 times across 2 work outs in a 14 day period! (here is a video of the first 5 times I benched my body weight!) Simply put I am so thankful for Aaron and his coaching abilities and advice, and how far he took me. Aaron has made me ripped, cut and stronger than I’ve ever been!
Then in January of this year, my wife embarked on a new journey of her own through the awesome products and support offered through www.cleansefest.com. What you may not know is that she had been working out for years, eating right (way better than me) and still wasn’t reaching her goals… until she started this new chapter. After watching her transformation take place so quickly … and so effectively I couldn’t help but notice. And the change was not just a physical one, but I could see major improvements in her energy level, her smile was brighter, her confidence was back, and in every aspect of her life I could see the ripples of positive change more evident than anything she had tried before. So… I decided I’d give it a try. 🙂
Though I was very happy with how my workouts were going, I still had some “middle-aged tummy” that needed to go away : ) … So in late March I signed up for the same program, and so far … I’m BLOWN AWAY by my own transformation as well! I feel like I found the perfect complement to pair with my work outs, not only to help me meet some of my goals, but to help boost my nutrition and overall wellness as well! And the best part? It was easy! It truly is the perfect solution because it combines any work out or training you do (or even if you don’t work out) with wonderful products that work and are easy to use… all wrapped up in a community of support where people truly care for you and help you walk through the process!
So here I am… 44 days later (not even 2 months in) and I couldn’t resist but share how things are looking. Am I done yet? Absolutely not. But man am I glad I’m on this journey!
