They call me Froggy

So this morning the day after my first CrossFit competition @geppetto_7 says "I want to show you something!" The picture on the left was taken just a few days away from 2 years ago on our 10th Anniversary trip to Tennessee! The ones on the right taken today officially down 105lbs since Late August. I can't believe that I let myself end up like that! Thank you Jeanine for all the support on this crazy journey I'm on allowing me to embrace my new found addiction with CrossFit, listening to my endless rambles of what I did at the gym! @crossfit_camo & the #CamoFamily thanks for always pushing me beyond my limits when I need it! I'm pretty sure that I was beyond the 385lbs I started this journey at in this pic! #lifechanges #americanmadefitness #settinggoals #theroadto250lbs #30lbstogo

First ever Open Workout complete this is were I stand out of 38-39 y/o men from NY and I'm 100% ok with it! #CamoArmy #open2016 #camoPride #americanmadefitness #bringon16point2 #crossfitgamesopen2016 @crossfit @crossfit_camo

6 months ago I started a journey to get healthy and fit! Here the first 6 months of progress!

Rise and grind!!!

From 385 to 293 CrossFit and eating clean has changed my life!!

I only hope that someone out there will take a little inspiration from what I've been able to accomplish over the last 6 months and not quit on their goals and journey! My journey so far has taken me from 385lbs to 294lbs I'm now just 9 lbs from losing 100 and 44 from goal weight #1 trust me if I can ride this train so can you! #dontquit #goalswithinreach #bustingass #americanmadefitness #CAMOpride #camoFamily #crossfitlife #eatingclean #

So I completely underestimated the levels that I've reached along #CrossFit journey I truly did not think that I would complete this #WOD even with scaled weights and movements! So when I realized I had a chance to finish under the original cap of 30 min I dug deep and got it done! My partner in crime @emilylamantia crushed it as well at #RX @coachdonuts85 haves us an extra five on the cap cause he's so sweet!! #bringontheopen #goals #crossfitlife #americanmadefitness #killincalories #camoArmy #CAMOpride #camoFamily #thunderbuddy #goalswithinreach #bustingass #dontquit (at CrossFit CAMO Farmingdale)

So here it is down just over 90lbs. 9.8 to hit 100lbs down and 44.8 to hit goal no.1 #90lbsdown I know I say it all the time but thank you for all the support along the way @geppetto_7 @crossfit_camo @emilylamantia @goldbergusmc @coachdonuts85 @mcbridem27 and the rest of the #camoFamily you are all truly awesome and amazing people and I could not be doing this without each and every ounce of support from u guys!!!#americanmadefitness #kickinasstakingnames #crossfitlife #camoArmy #CAMOpride #destroyingfateveryday (at Casa de Otero)

Tried to channel my inner @richfroning today and it took everything I had! Yes I'm still scaling weight in some #WODs my goal today was to complete this mess in under 20 minutes and I did it with about a 80 seconds to spare! Much love to my #camoFamily @emilylamantia @joe__sacks @crossfitcharlie and coach @mcbridem27 nothing better then having your supporters rallying around you for those last couple reps! #camoARMY #CAMOpride #americanmadefitness #anotherdayatthebox #bringontheopen (at CrossFit CAMO Farmingdale)

Yup at it again #CrossFit has become my addiction! It has filled some voids in my life and is making me better and stronger everyday! @crossfit_camo #camoARMY #CAMOpride #camoFamily #crossfitlife #goalswithinreach #50togoalweight #americanmadefitness #greatcoacheschangelives @goldbergusmc @mcbridem27 @coachdonuts85 (at CrossFit CAMO Farmingdale)

First day back at the box! Been sick most of the week so it was a lift day! Still working on form and technique always trying to get better! Did a few hang clean push jerk complexes and some back squats at around 70% of heavy single!

Well I could say I'm disappointed because I did not hit my mark of being down to 300 by years end 6 pounds short with just 2 days to go! Needless to say the fact that I made it thru Christmas with out gaining any weight is good enough for me! I could not have gotten this far in such a short time without @geppetto_7 and my family! There is also #emeals and #crossfit @crossfit_camo to thank and some new friends that don't let me quit on any workout! @emilylamantia @goldbergusmc @mcbridem27 @coachdonuts85 @stephanieann32 @sggem @kbutler08 @sand1387 @angieeeee0613 @magno_strength @sgarv22 @kciorciari17 and the rest of the #camoFamily (at Casa de Otero)

Can't believe I've done this 5-1/2 months! 56lbs to go to get to the first goal! #goals #gettingfit #crossfitlife #emeals #familysgotmyback #overhalfwaythere (at Casa de Otero)

Crossfit Santa was here the only gear missing is my #box swag that is still on the way! My @geppetto_7 and family are the best and a huge support while I'm on my journey! #bestfamilyever #bestwife #crossfitlife #bringontheopen @roguefitness #sockgame (at Casa de Otero)
