There was a day when I realized I had almost 80 extra pounds on my body and that in just a few short months it could be 100. I knew on this day that my eating habits were out of control and that my life had to change. I started slowly, by beginning to eat healthier (Bye, bye greasy hamburgers; Hello Boca burgers and ground crumbles!) and exercising. Then, I started to more closely monitor my calorie consumption and to calculate my calorie output. In less than two years, I went from weighing 205 to 135 pounds.
During this journey I developed a passion for health and fitness. This passion is another journey I want to follow to its conclusion. My ultimate goal is to become a personal trainer, and after many hours of research and sifting through web-sites, I found an accredited public four-year University that offers a ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified personal training program on-line. It is a dream of mine to enroll in this course, to complete their program with flying colors, and become a trainer. As an ACE-certified trainer not only would I be leading a balanced life of my own, but I would be qualified to help other people balance their lives. I am accustomed to hard work, so if I am able to start this program with help from Boca, a company whose products have already assisted me through a long journey, I know I will succeed and bring everything full circle.

I'm truly focused and committed for the first time in ten years and it is a great feeling, if still a little wobbly, but it helps a great deal that gather has so much health related information, posts, groups and sponsors.
