To know my motivation....you must learn of my past.

This may be long so sit back and enjoy.

I started lifting around 6th or 7th grade. In 8th Grade, My parents bought me a new 18 speed mountain bike for christmas. In the spring of that same school year, I rode that bike as hard and as much as I could. One morning I woke up with pain. Parents and I only thought that I had pulled a muscle or something. Pain never left....but got worse. After a few more days, we went to the doctor.....and they sent me to another doctor. At this time, I coudl no longer get in my own bed....for I coudl not even walk up the stairs to my room. Crawling was my only way of moving with the lest amount of pain.

The 2nd doc, a "Uralogist" <sp>, sent me in for x-rays. After that, he found what was wrong and that I needed an operation. I had a Torsion. A Torsion of the Left Testical. Now guys....let me warn you now that Torsions are more frequent than you may think. Torsion is when the testical actually 'twists' in the sack.....when this happens it cuts off blood flow to its self. After 6 hours, it dies. So my left nut was dead, swollen, and casuing pain. That operation was to remove the dead one and fixt the right one. I was put on light duty and not allowed to lift or do any heavy movements or exercises for a long time.

--Two Years later--

I am in the 10th Grade and in Acting. Since I was a bit scared of having Torsion again, I found an outlet through drama. I was also in AFJROTC and did alot of Marching... Well in Drama at times you have musicals and dancing....and I started feeling 'ill' again. Rush to the ER....surgery follows....I had outgrown my surgery.....corrections made again....and once again tole to stop doing things. I was weighting about 180lbs here.

--More years pass--

I am in college....and need to take two PE classes....I take Rock climbing as one...loved it...and had no bad effects. Then I take Weight Training for men...but I do not push myself as hard as I should....just do enough to get a passing grade.

--More years Pass--

About 2 years ago....my GP doc diaged me with High Blood Pressure. I was now weighing in at around 260lbs. I was put on high BP meds and had blood drawn. The blood showed high liver enzymes...and I was sent to a specialist in that field. Both Docs told me to LOSE WEIGHT or die from Cerosis of the liver and high blood pressure stuff....my g-ma died from Cerosis and I did not want that to happen to me. I also set a goal for myself. I wanted a new job....and in order to get that job I needed to get down to 180 pounds....80 pounds difference. After several months... I lost enough weight to get off the meds.....and then a few months after that my liver enymes were close to normal. I was at 200 pounds. About a month or more ago...thigns went wonky in my world and I weighed in at 212. I still need to get to that 180 mark.

So if there happens to be anyone in the area that wants to help me out... or that wants to train together....let's do it!

My motivation.....health and the job of a lifetime.

Oh .. that job....

to become an Officer in the United States Air Force!
