![]() Hey everyone, thanks again for caring enough to take some time out of your day to read about what is going on with me in my struggle to go from fat to fit. I want to update you all with the news of what is going on with my life (Speaking fitness, after all this isn't a gossip blog :D ) and the training that I have been putting in. Sorry there isn't a lot but its a lot going on right now. 1) I have created a new workout plan. My plan will be up on the blog as soon as I get started on it. Whoa!! That won't be too far away so you can all see me going through and updating it as time goes by. 2) I have agreed to attempt a full marathon by May 2015. Exact date to be announced at a later time. This happened before I was forced to withdraw from a 10 K run that I was set to do on September 13th. (Food poisoning) 3) I have come to learn that sometimes posting my business up on facebook, instagram and twitter can be motivating to some, so a few of my good friends (Check my instagram @danilofitness to see who) have reached out to me to help them with putting together a plan of action like the one I made for myself. I like the idea and have offered my help to them so that is new and exciting for me. Why I wanted to share this is so that people are aware that I am in the Vancouver area hosting boot camp style runs so if you are wanting to get in a bit better shape and are in the Vancouver area, hit me up. 4) I will be moving closer to Vancouver so I will be having more time to train, what does this mean for my Muay Thai training that is out in Coquitlam? For now I still remain at Stand up Muay Thai. The people there have been amazing and have guided me physically and mentally through the past year and I highly recommend you check them out. Don't know what Muay Thai is? Unsure if you would like it? Contact me reach out and ask someone that trains it. We are more than willing to take on beginners to Muay Thai at Stand Up so all are welcome. I think that is it, for now anyways. I can not wait to be back on board with what I am doing. I have learned from my previous program that I set up what to do and what not to do. I can not wait to get up and get going again.

![]() Hey there sports fans, thanks for following up on my progress and caring enough to check into what is going on in my life. For those of you who asked for it here is the final results of my 8 week program. Sorry I don't have all my final information. But here is the final bits of info that I do have. Currently these are my numbers: Weight : 246.2 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 46.5 inches (Down 2.5) | Waist 43 inches (Down 1 inch) | Hips 42 (1 inch gained) | Thigh 24.5 Inches (No change) week 5 : Weight: 248 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 43 inches (down 6") | Waist 39" (down 5") | Hips 40" (Loss of one inch) | Thigh 24 Inches (Loss of .5") Week 1: Weight : 251.8 LBS Height: 68 Inches Chest 49 inches | Waist 44 inches | Hips 41 Inches | Thigh 24.5 Inches So yes I know my results are not complete and they came in late (Missing is my body fat calculations that I would get from my previous gym but I have had a bit of a break away from them). There are many excuses I can give as to why my last few weeks were not as productive as my first 5 but instead of that, I will let you know what I am doing to get better at what I am doing. I have taken on a new task for myself and that is coaching some friends that have reached out to me online or at work or I have offered to help. I know that my determination is strong and I won't let them down. My new workout schedule will start as of October 1st and run until December first. A whole two month time frame. Shortly my new workout plan will be up on my blog and I hope you all keep looking into it. And while my last post was late I know, I will be more accountable to you my friends and followers. ![]() So here is a brief outline of what my life has been. This is the most personal post I have ever made and possibly will ever make. Thank you to everyone who has been there for me during my past year. I won't name names just because I don't want to miss anyone but you all know who you are. My story, up to this point, speaking in regards to fitness has been a complex one due to things that have occurred in my life. I have always been very active but struggled with depression from a young age. I blew up and gained weight after the eight grade and couldn't hold it back. I went from 180 lbs lean to 230 in a summer. I held the weight from going back but once I was done school I ended up in a bad situation again and have struggled to keep it down. In 2008 I was sent to the BC Cancer Foundation to do testing on my birthday (worst day ever) to be poked and prodded by an oncologist. I thankfully am cancer free. But this, along with the unhealthy relationship that I was in caused me to get up to over 300 pounds I believe 320 was my highest however I stopped weighing myself after 310 lbs. My transformation started almost one year ago. I decided I didn't want to feel bad for myself and I wanted to reclaim my life. A few friends and I decided to do a biggest loser competition and I found myself. It was an eight week challenge that we had done with weekly weigh ins and ended up with great results for me. Along with this I began to take Muay Thai (Thai Kick boxing). 261 LBS 118.4 kilos 17 LBS lost in the 8 weeks 12.7 Kilos. This was November 3rd almost a full year ago. In a bit over a year I have lost over 50 lbs (That I had documented during my journey) I now am weighing 242 lbs and started documenting my life change that was my goal. To lose 17.06% of my weight (Something I have finally achieved). Recently, as in the last 3 weeks, people have started to message me to ask for my help to get them on the path I started on. I struggled running a 3 km walk run 1 year ago, and one year later I ran my first half marathon ALONE. I used to struggle to keep up during my Thai Kickboxing class now I am an assistant instructor helping people that come new to our gym. My transformation has been emotional one for sure. I write this and am taking forever to do so because I am holding back the emotions. Looking back has been amazing for me and I can't wait to show you what the next year will bring. My transformation has only started its not done yet :D I asked this question to my friends in my group. What will you do with the next year? Make every day count, look forward to the next year and remember about today as well. |
