Hi Everyone!

I’m actually writing this blog from the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort in the Bahamas.  Our blog for the site wasn’t quite working properly and took a little bit of time to fix, so I’m sorry about that.  We’re back up now though and I’m ready to catch you up!

So my last blog was about getting into honeymoon shape.  Here’s what happened…About ten days before the wedding, my then fiancé (now wife) and I were having dinner with Mike O’Hearn (Titan from American Gladiators) and our newest addition to Instructional Fitness Sherlyn Roy.  I was telling them that I wanted to get into shape for the honeymoon.  Mike told me he was getting in shape for a magazine cover shoot (what different lives we lead) and that I was welcome to train with him twice a day.  The first session being at 4:00 am.

From there, my wife Mikela said that she didn’t want to watch me get into better shape than her for the wedding so Sherlyn offered to train her.  So of course, this lead to a competition between my wife and I, and Mike and Sherlyn.  The competition was to see who could get the closest to losing 15 pounds the Thursday before the wedding.

During this time, they designed our diets (the biggest component to fitness), and helped us with our workouts.  Let me tell you, training with Mike O’Hearn is probably one of the most difficult and painful processes I have endured in the gym.  I have trained with Joe, but that was a different process.  Joe doesn’t put a lot of focus on the amount of weight.  He focuses on form and shaping the muscle the way he wants.  Mike however, loves to train for strength and is just a freak of nature.

Anyway, I’m off track.  As I mentioned, I began training twice a day and limited myself to chicken breasts several times a day.  I also was doing about 2 hours of cardio per day.  Mikela was doing weights and about an hour of cardio but missed a couple of times due to the wedding planning process.  We were also both taking two different fat burners.  During the day, we took VPX Meltdown (capsule form) and at night, we took JS Nitro’s Burn Extreme PM.

We were both able to watch the pounds shed off our body, which was a great feeling.  In the end, Mikela managed to lose close to ten pounds which was about a pound more than me, but somehow I still feel like I was the winner. J

So that’s it for now (sorry for rambling)…I got to get back to my honeymoon.  Talk to you all soon!
