NEVER too old to change!!

I wanted to just take the time to encourage those here that may feel stuck! While this is a picture of me (before/After) I didn't feel it belonged in the "Wins & Gratitude" section because I would rather this empower others.

I have always believed that age is just a number, and you get to decide how you age and what kind of attitude you have. We all have our own journey but I'm here to say that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to!!

I am a late teen cancer survivor, I was given less than 5% change of living and I'm here almost 40yrs later. I walked around for 3 days with a ruptured appendix and was told I wouldn't leave the hospital. I've had numerous surgeries, that have affected my body and posture and has lead to a serious back issue.

I decided in an effort to try to stop a 3 level spine fusion that I would work with my doctor, chiropractor and Pilates instructor to see if I could change my posture "just enough" to increase the space in my lower back.

As you know I commissioned a bespoke Blue Blazer as a gift to myself. My Tailor sent me this picture the other day with the caption "Who's this guy?"

The picture the right is me in mid June for my first consult for the blazer. The picture on the left is me last week! There's only about 8-10lbs difference in weight. The real difference is my posture! How pilates has helped so far and how it even changed the distribution of my weight.

I'm not telling this story for sympathy, I'm telling this story to hopefully inspire others to know that YOU can do it too!

Life is what you make of it!! Make it great!!

I have a wonderful wife and children that I was NEVER supposed to have and if I listed to the doctors at 19 I wouldn't have them nor this wonderful group of men here lifting each other up! Thank you

@Antonio Cent

for putting this group together and thank you all for your continued inspiration! 🙏
