Do I have a problem? Am I obsessed? Am I a perfectionist? Or am I dedicated?

Welcome man!  Be sure to check out the REAL events in the area and join the Houston group. If you don't compete, definitely come to check things out.

Really? Interesting. I don't travel with mine in my carry-on luggage ever. It is always checked. Just debating whether I should just suck it up and deal without them for a week or try to work it all out.

Thanks Daniel. Unfortunately won't get to see much. I am there for work and I think I am actually on the ground in Australia less than I am in the air traveling there.

Fellow Houstonians! Has anyone traveled to Australia? I leave Saturday and I need some help with supplements as I know that they are pretty strict over there. Should I just buy some when I get there and bring them back to the states with me?

I wanted to share a thought someone told me today that has really bothered me all morning and plagued me during my workout.  I wanted to post it here to get your thoughts, as I know many of you share a similar mindset about our lifestyle. So, my family took pictures this weekend with a professional photographer and I was showing the proofs to a co-worker.  I mentioned that I didn’t like one of the pictures because the pose made me look wider/fatter than I know that I am.  The co-worker…See More

Profile Information

What is your REAL story? Do you compete? Do you wish to compete? Are you on a transformation journey? Website??
I am on a transformation journey right now and have been for the last year or so. I was an athlete in high school and super skinny (ran cross country). In college I started to get into weight lifting some...but then work, marriage, and a new baby turned me into a lazy, stressed out, and seriously overweight individual. Over the last two years I have struggled to lose weight and transform my body with the hopes of competing someday (sooner rather than later). So my journey continues...
Philosophies and Beliefs:
I strongly believe that the only admirable way to transform your body, especially for competition, is naturally. Those that use other substances are seriously impacting their long term health and should not be used as models, figure models, and role models for children, young adults, and overall public. We struggle as a society with obesity and those that cheat to achieve a truly amazing physique are doing NOTHING to help the overall image conscious society that we are becoming.
Words of Advice to REAL competitors and those on REAL transformation journeys:
I don't have any words of encouragement for competitors as I have never been one but hope to be, so if you have any advice for me, bring it! For those on transformation journeys like myself. I am a firm believer in slow and steady progress, as well as consistency. This way truly has lasing healthful impacts on your life and overall health and should be the way to achieve the physique you desire.
What are your favorite supplements and why?
My favorite supplements are Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey, VPX NO Shotgun, NO x-plode, and VPX Clenbutrx.
Who do you look up to in the fitness industry?
Everyone here on REAL and all other dedicated to a natrual, fit lifestyle.

My transformation - Week 15 - Enjoying the Journey

Posted on April 13, 2010 at 2:06pm 2 Comments

I am in the early part of week 15 of my transformation. I am changing things up with a three week cycle of lifting. It is making my body continue to shed fat and keeps my body guessing...and sore! Just thought I would share that I am pleased with my progress...and that I am loving this process.



I also wanted to share that I had an AWESOME workout today. After a serious cardio session, which I was already sweating good...I proceeded to do my full body workout starting with pushups to… Continue

Getting off of Blood Pressure Meds

Posted on April 5, 2010 at 2:34pm 0 Comments

About two years ago I was struck suddenly (or what seemed like suddenly) with high blood pressure. I was 28 years old and being told I had high blood pressure. Was I overweight...yes! I went through batteries of testing to try and figure out what was causing my high blood pressure all of a sudden and everything came back normal...other than my weight!



I went through a period of depression after that. I had actually even lost weight prior to being diagnosed with high blood pressure. I… Continue

Weight Loss is Cause for Alarm When Traveling Internationally!

Posted on March 9, 2010 at 9:24am 1 Comment

A quick story as I was thinking about this on the bus to work this morning. So I was on my way home from my business trip and was going through Passport Control in Amsterdam. Guess what...the gaurd gave me a hard time. Why???? Because I have lost so much weight since my passport picture was taken that my face must appear dramatically different. He kept questioning me and looking at my picture on my passport and looking at me. Asking how long it had been since my picture was taken (almost 3…

Matt's Transformation Journey 2010 - Transforming while traveling

Posted on February 25, 2010 at 11:57am 4 Comments

I finally made it to my destination two days ago after long flights, short layovers, and missing luggage. Yes that's right...missing luggage. I was initially a little worried as one of my bags had all of my supplements, protein powder, and gym clothes...but it all made it about 6 hours after me...so no real interruption.

I thought I copied you on the obligatory "It's been fun, it's been real, here's my contact ino, peace out..." email. Guess not... my bad! I'm the CFO at a small, prvately held energy construction company.

As for whether I came over to the dark side, nah... Sometimes you just have to pity you guys. Everyone's gotta eat, so we thought we'd give this recent college graduate kid a shot.
