😊 #TransformationTuesday 😊 It's hard to believe I started running 7 years ago next month and no it has not been easy...it's been satisfying to look at old pictures and be happy I found one addiction that took over another. That being running overtaking the eating. It only took me 2 years to run a half marathon and 3 years to run a full. Allot of Mike's in that time and allot of heart ache. But I did it and like keeping the weight off I'm in this thing for the long run. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 #FormerFatBoy #WLS #DuodenalSwitch #meridiansurgicalgroup #KeepingTheWeightOff #WLSSelfie #wlssupport #Lovetorun #looseweight #notsobigpete #motivationforall #happyatmyweight (at ALIVE) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUHEVD2AL5a/?utm_medium=tumblr

💪 #MotivationalMonday 📅 A Motivational Monday for you. As an obese person I delt with the heart ache of being big by making light of stuff and the right is a prime example. I grabbed my nephew's tie to get a quick laugh at a family function in 2003, now I get laughs in different ways making light of me being lighter. 😉*****😎*****💪*****😎*****😉 #WannaBeRunner #WLSStories #WLS #FormerFatBoy #fitover40 #wlsstruggles #WLSSelfie #WeightlossMotivation #weightlossjourney #getfit #cleaneating #eatclean #exercise #ExerciseAsAFamily #RunRunRun #infinitejoggers #KeepingTheWeightOff #myweightlossjourney #WeightlossStory #keepingitpositive #DuodenalSwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CUEMLKGjb-S/?utm_medium=tumblr

🏃‍♂️ #HalfMarathon 🏃‍♂️ Just chilling on the beach in Traverse City, tomorrow I run my favorite race I do every year, the @cgtwines half marathon. I started somewhere on that peninsula and work my way back into downtown Traverse City. This will be my 5th one I have run of the 6 they have held. 🤘****😎****🏃‍♂️*****😎*****🤘 #CGTWines #cherryfestival #FormerFatBoy #FatBoyRunning #instaFit #fitspo #HalfMarathonRunner #HoosierRunner #grandtraversebay #RaceReady #WLSRunner #RunRun #runtraversecity #cherryfestivalhalfmarathon #RunningFirefighter #DuodenalSwitchRunner (at Traverse City State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRH6O-un0P8/?utm_medium=tumblr

😎 #ThrowBackThursday 😎 So yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of me getting a small, and I mean, SMALL, part on Chicago PD. It was the episode that Dr. Halstead, from Chicago Med, was introduced. I'm credited as his drinking buddy. We had fun that day as that scene was a bar fight, so it was a longer shoot and physical 🎥*****📺*****😎*****📺*****🎥 #ChicagoPD #ChicagoFire #BitPart ##FormerFatBoy #NotSoBigPete #WannabeActor #MyShotAtActing #Ahsoka #AshokaTano #FatBoyGotFit #ThursdayThrowback #Filming #fitnessaddict #FitOver45 (at Chicago Pd Set) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gNSmHHnGl/?igshid=eb82oje9j1ew

💪 #MotivationalMonday 😎 Been a while since I have posted before/after. I am about a month into doing something I have wanted to do since I was young, and that was to be a Firefighter. Being as big as I was for so many years, the realization I would never get to try and be even a volunteer Firefighter was a there, but as many of you know after 2013 I am now in a mind set that if I can do it, I'm going to. So old me at 445 lbs can now not use my size to be the reason I don't achieve something. Always try at least to give your Hope's and dreams a try. 💪*****😎*****😀*****😎*****💪 #NHATFD #weightlossjourney #ForeverFitness #FormerFatboy #FatBoyGotThin #FatBoyGitFit #FitOver45 #fitover30 #FitOver40 #StillGoing #Fitness #VolunteerFireFighter #FitFirefighter #IndianaRunner #down270 #TheWannabeRunner #WeightLossSurgery #WrightlossSuccess #FirefighterInTraining #WLSBeforeandAfter #weightlosssurgeryjourney (at Motivation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-ayoYp7ja/?igshid=1lmnm5hhgqelp

📆 #TransformationTuesday 📆 Down 270 pounds and for over 5 years. Use to be proud of the fact I was an obese guy that was "very mobile for 450 pounds" now I think to myself "what was I so proud of". I am getting ready for my 14th half marathon, now that is something to be proud of, but the fact I was 450 pounds and could move is an embarrassment. Good is not enough if better is possible. 🤔*****🤔*****🤔*****🤔*****🤔 #WLSBeforeandAfter #FormerFatBoy #FortWayneFitnessMag #WLSRunner #Runner #LoveToRun #WLSInstacrew #wlsjourney #WLSTransformationProgress #WLSSucsess #WLSSelfie #keepingtheweightoff #WLSInsperation #WLSBeforeandAfter #IndianaRunner #fitspo #FitOver40 #fitover45 #MiddleAgeFit https://www.instagram.com/p/B19hO1_nj8k/?igshid=blfr1i2pkyfx
