My husband, Erik, and I have been married since June of '07 and I am so blessed!
He's the reason I got into living a healthy lifestyle and through him, I realized how fun and achievable it could be to loose excess weight, gain muscle, maintain a healthy weight, and eat great food! With a past in personal training, bodybuilding, and a Masters in Exercise Science, he’s very knowledgeable and has helped me and taught me very much.
Overall … these pictures sum him up pretty well:
On slightly more serious note, he's had a pretty interesting life and sometime in '05 or '06, he put together a YouTube video of a part of his life.
First his description of the video ...
"I had a rough time as a kid. So all my life I tried to find things to heal the pain I had inside of me. I partied, I slept around, I had lots of money, I dieted and got skinny, lifted got huge, and just about any and everything else the world told me would lead me to happiness. But nothing ever took an ounce of pain away from me and in fact it only made me feel worse. I'd put all my hope in what I would do at the time and tell myself this was going to be the thing that heals me. That truly makes me happy. But I never found that. Everything I always found faded away usually in a matter of weeks. Until one day when Jesus Christ radically crashed into my life and in one instant took every ounce of pain that had ever been stored away right out of me. From that moment on I decided to live for the only thing that ever healed me, the only thing that ever made me happy on the inside. He loved me when I didn't even love myself. This is a short video of one of my fruitless searches. "
I love him!
Lesley, your husband is pretty cool, he reminds me of my dear cousin (only the opposite, he was so so so tiny/skinny like a stick) who did it professionally years back, now he own club in Jakarta - Indonesia.
