"You are stronger..."

...commented my daughter-in-law (the fitness and fashion queen), "I can see it in your legs, the way you walk, the way you carry yourself, the definition in your arms. Yeah, you are definitely stronger... yay!"

How's THAT for a pump up? lol

But before y'all get any big mental image of me entering a Ms. Universe competition or anything, I want you to see this video made by a guy with the same form of MD that Eurovw and I have (and honestly, I didn't get a firm diagnosis). This guy has progressed (bad thing) a lot further than I have, but I'm doing the IP because I don't want to get to this place (or worse). Also what you can't see is that the cardio and respiratory muscles are also affected in this particular form of MD, and the prognosis for the disease is basically that we die of either cardiac or respiratory failure, and before that, we required long-term assisted "living."

So, anyway, to introduce you to Eurovw's and my battle:



When I see this guy's videos, I get so motivated to do/continue the IP. I have GOT to see if I can beat this thing. Christopher and Schulze said they had some folks do it. I now know of four people who have been diagnosed with some form of muscular dystrophy and have actually been able to reverse it. The words "cure it" may be a stretch because of the genetic thing. Two of these four people I have personally contacted and compared notes with. One of these two I am almost positive did the IP. They ALL said they stopped listening to their doctors and took personal responsibility for their own health. They ALL began what amounted to an athlete's mindset and training schedule. They ALL cleaned up their diets, developed a winning attitude, and developed an incredibly healthy lifestyle. They ALL are very positive people.

I am so excited for all of the guys who are about to start the IP, I am tickled pink. It's tough, guys. You will be challenged. But I ask for a special shout out to Eurovw for having the balls to do the impossible. He's a great guy and I really like him.

I was going to take a break from the forum this round to get my house ready to sell, but Uny and I came to the agreement that I need the forum as much as the forum "needs" me, especially with the Alpha Flight starting the IP in a week or two. So, anyway, I'll be here as I can, and you Alphas (Hoo-ah!!) are welcome to PM or email me as well.

Heal ON!
