Shortly after being sprayed by a crop duster in June of '99 the lymph nodes in my groin started to grow rapidly. I went to my doctor because the nodes had grown so large it was painful to walk. He suspected I had a rapidly growing cancer and a biopsy was performed. Surgery was performed to remove the golf ball sized lymph nodes. The initial diagnosis was cancer. I was devastated because of the pain and suffering my older brother went through with his cancer. Fortunately, several more tests were performed on the nodes and it was found to be non-cancerous. However, my health started to decline and my weight ballooned to 206 pounds. I tried to get in shape in 2001 taking the Body For Life challenge several times. I lost some weight but never did finish any of those challenges. I vowed to get in shape in 2002. I entered the BFL challenge again and finished in the top 2000 for all entries regardless of age.

In 2002 I entered the Body For Life challenge following their program of working out 6 days a week. The workouts consisted of lifting weights three days a week and cardio three days a week with one day off. I alternated upper body and lower body workouts. One week I would do two upper body workouts and one lower body workout. The next week I would switch and perform two lower body workouts and one upper body workouts. My cardio consisted of 20 minutes using either the Stairmaster or a stationary bike using the HIIT principle. I finished in the top 2000 in 2002 for the Body For Life challenge. In 2008 I wanted to take my fitness to the next level and hired Layne Norton. Layne provided nutritional guidelines which I followed to get the leanest I have ever been.

My diet varied according to the day of the week and the workout planned. While training legs I had high carb days while the other days of the week I had a lower amount of carbs. On low carb days I would up my protein and fat intake.

It is never too late to start improving your health. At age 52 I am stronger and leaner than at any other time in my life. Set yourself a long-range goal and then set some intermediate goals to help accomplish what you want. With hard work, determination, and a good plan you can meet your goals. Never give up.
