Treadmill Diaries
I have been doing SO GOOD the past few weeks.
So why do I still get discouraged when I look at myself?
I’m doing things I never thought possible, inspiring people to chase their dreams and working towards this goal i’ve had since I was 5 years old… but I still find myself feeling hopeless.
What it all boils down to, is that insatiable dream killing notion that I AM NOT GOOD...

My Biggest Loser Experience pt.2
THE HOME VIDEO
Hours, days, weeks went by and I didn’t hear anything back from Biggest Loser
So I naturally forgot about it.
At the cattle call (pun intended) we were told that if the show was interested in you, you would get a same day call back.
I waited
& waited
& waited
and no one called me.
So I just assumed they forgot about me and I moved on.
Then, on one epic spring...

My Biggest Loser Experience pt.1
Let me preface this by saying that If I wrote about every aspect of my Biggest Loser experience it would be a hundred pages long! So I’m gonna try to sum everything up. If you have any questions about BL please let me know and I’ll try to answer them the best I can.
THE CASTING CALL
I honestly feel that my involvement with this show was intended since the day I was born. The way Biggest...

That's sick bro.
After yesterdays gym fiasco, I felt totally run down and drained. When I woke up today I figured out why:
I’M SICK
(insert sarcastic cheer)
Seriously, I’m mad ill.
& I’ll admit, I can be a little dramatic when I’m sick.
For instance, at this very moment, i’m reclining on a mountain of pillows with tissues logged up my nostrils. I’m drinking water by the sea load along with...

Doogie Howser, M.D.
So I went to the doctors today.
Actually, let me start that over
Today was the first time I saw a doctor since being a casting finalist for The Biggest Loser.
Yeah, that’s more dramatic now isn’t it?
The week that I spent in Southern California seems like such a blur now. There so much that i’ll never remember & there’s so much that i’ll never forget.
I’ll never remember all the...

Working It Out
It’s Saturday morning and It’s the end of a very amazing week for me. I started this blog, I made a few life changes and I have been in beast mode at the gym…
…well that last one might be a fib.
I was doing really well earlier this week when I was working short shifts or had days off. But for the past two days I’ve been working ALL DAY LONG. I’ve had to...

In The Pursuit of Pistachios
In a mad search for bottled water and unsalted pistachios, I went to the Walgreens down the street from my house. While walking past makeup displays and Martin Luther King greeting cards, I saw a setup for OSCEOLA KOWBOY tee shirts and hoodies.
Now, I know this doesn’t mean anything to you, but as a proud graduate of Osceola High School, I was thrilled to see Walgreens supporting the home...

The Importance of Bravery
It’s difficult to say when I became fascinated with the word “BRAVE.”
Being sent home from Biggest Loser created a domino effect in my life. Everything seemed to unravel at once.
By August of 2011, I was struggling with severe depression.
For me the hardest part of the day was always in the morning. All the things that were bothering me, all the hurt that I diligently tried to sweep under the...
