I was involved in a pretty bad car crash last week 5/15/2012. My car was totaled and I'm lucky to be alive let alone walking and talking and now a week later back in the gym. I have some painful injuries but nothing structural. This has set me back but I'm not out. Never give up!

I just entered the Dymatize transformation challenge. I've been dealing with this nagging cough and shoulder problem but I'm well enough now to start getting back into it. I was eating wrong and taking some time off before entering this transformation challenge. However, when I woke up this morning and saw myself in the mirror I felt disgusted. It's only been a few weeks and it looks like I seriously let myself go way too much. I miss working out too it's not just a hobby anymore it's a way of life and need to get back on my bicycle and ride.

I was progressing well in my my transformation for the BSN Hypershred contest. However, a couple weeks ago I fell ill with a bad flu and developed some bronchitis which meant no cardio, no gym, nothing. Last week I felt a little better and decided to go wake boarding with a few friends. I ended up hurting myself during a wipeout on a shallow sandbar, which resulted in a minor back injury and agitating an old shoulder injury. All the meanwhile, I was messing up my diet and losing some shape. So I've decided to drop out of the contest. I didn't upload my before pics as suggested by the contest rules and have been slacking on updating and tracking my progress. I will get back to it by next week when I'm all better.
