Day 1 was not easy, but it had to be done. Challenge yourself to be the best you.

Opportunity. Challenge. Results.

4 Month Challenge- HOW HERBALIFE CHANGED MY LIFE

I began my journey as a kicker/punter for Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS. While playing against some of the best teams in the country I was also getting into the best shape of my life – well what I believed to be the best of my life. Following my graduation I began to play professionally in the Indoor Football League in Nebraska. After my indoor season ended in June, I weighed-in at 233 pounds and 19% body fat, which was the heaviest I had ever been. Even though I was competing at a professional level, I was not conscious of my nutrition and went through the motions in the weight room. As I packed my car, I was not sure what exactly I was going to do - unemployed, little money, but a full tank of gas. I subsequently took four weeks off to travel around the country visiting friends and enjoying life, which only contributed to my unhealthy habits. On the morning of July 4th it finally hit me, that I needed a change, and needed a change quick. If I was going to continue playing football and start a professional life I needed to do something. I challenged myself that I would never feel and look like this ever again. I was determined, and knew I had to challenge myself to lose weight and be a better son, brother, friend, and most definitely the best me I could be.
During my college and professional training I have tried almost every protein and meal supplements that are available, but one particular supplement always stood out – Herbalife.
Since I began my transformation on July 4th I began following a strict diet, working out, and most importantly including Herbalife in my supplementation routine. As of today I weigh 200 pounds, and I’m at 9.9% body fat. Also, my bench press has increased almost 30 pounds and, my max repetitions of 225, has doubled from my NFL Combine in May 2010. Herbalife has helped me focus and inspire my clients to do the same. I knew this journey would be challenge, but it has been an opportunity that has changed my life.

I would like to thank Herbalife and also challenge those that read my story to never give up and to challenge yourself to be the best you that you can be. I will continue to live, as well as help others live, a healthy and productive lifestyle.



Thank you.

9/5/12- 60 Days.

After 2 Months since I started my challenge I have never felt better. Ive lost 30 pounds and I can bench 225 more than I did at my college combine.

My motivation. I didn't make it to the NFL out of K State. My 2 roomates did. At that time, they were working hard, I wanted to party.

 This is my story. My story that changed my life.

Still training with kicking. Here Im on the 40 yard line so a 50 yard kick and hit the poll that splits the uprights.

Day #17- July 25th

As all planned eating and drinking everything healthy for 17 days are very rewarding. I came in weighing 225. Today I weighed in at 214, and  ran a mile under 6 minutes. After running, I finished off with a Pull Up Push up workout.

Day #12

Keep on Keeping on. Weighed in at 225. This morning I weighed 216

Day #11

Other men will hate on other men working hard...believe me respect those who work hard!! Compete against the guy in the mirror...not your competition.

Day #10- Happy Birthday President Mandela

Nelson Mandela proves that what you can conceive you can achieve. And hes not just an icon to SA but to the rest of the world. #NelsonMandelaDay

Day #9

Everything is possible if you believe. And it starts with the man in the mirror. Because if you don't....NOONE WILL

Day #8- July 16th

36% Complete of the 25 day challenge. Weight loss starts in the kitchen! DO WHATS RIGHT TO PASS.

Day #7

After the AFAA Class I learned A LOT of information in a 3 day 8 am to 6 pm class. But it was well worth it. I learned that more than half of our world is obese. Physical Fitness is something where you have to have a goal. And yes...SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY.

Day #6- Personal Training Certificate Exam

Yes you have your entire life to do something, but life isn't long. What you do now is for your kids, for your family and most importantly for the guy standing across from the mirror.
AFAA Personal Training Certificate exam tomorrow at 8 am.

Day #5

Yesterday I wrote about being prepared. I blended my shake, ran 3 miles, worked out, Bennie Bonez thanks for working out with me my man, had my Herbalife Healthy Meal for lunch...etc etc than spent all day planning for my 22 hour workshop this weekend. This workshop would prepare me for another opportunity, to be a PERSONAL TRAINER. 20% Done!!!

Off to Quantico, VA for my Personal Trainer Certification workshop!!

Day #4

Playing football at Kansas State was a privilege. When I was at K State I wanted everything to be easy and did not wish that the workout would better me. I had problems, I felt prepared, but wasn't. Prepare yourself  to "better yourself"!

Day #3

Like I said on my twitter account (@GPZY17) If you got an 8% on an exam would you be happy? If I quit now why would I ever believe in myself...DAY #3 #DEDICATED

We all wake up in the morning sore as can be, it has happened. But the best thing to do is stretch. If you are working in a cubicle, take time to stretch. Believe in yourself, and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

Day #2

Day #2

If you really want to lose weight, you have to stick with your plan. I see many people get distracted and stop their programs. You have to find your motivation and draw strength from that when you get down or have negative thoughts. You have to stay motivated to achieve what you want. This is an OPPORTUNITY to change you!

July 9th 2012 - 25 Day Challenge

My IFL season ended two weeks ago and since then I have been enjoying life and eating and drinking everything.  After consuming many burgers and beers I headed to Dallas to continue the party.  On July 4th I was sitting on the couch feeling tired and unhealthy, and I realized I had to do something.  During the season I tried different protein and meal supplements, but one supplement in particular stood out, Herbalife.  Herbalife is a worldwide nutrition, weight loss and skincare company that focuses on helping clients meet their specific goals.  

My goal is that I have decided to give up my unhealthy habits and stay on a strict workout and supplement regiment for 25 days.  I will track my progress daily and report back at the end of the month.  I encourage everyone to try something similar and BE THE BEST YOU!
