Before abd After Photo of the Mau Family- Max Life Fitness results

More Before and after photo's to come later of me. But we just took a family photo this weekend and I was comparing it to one from Easter 2011. Wanted to Share.

Greatest Movie Quote of All Time

Mountain Dew was my Addiction

I Have never Understood addiction. How do you risk your family over alcohol, Smoking or Gambling?

Judging these people for years, looking down on them. How can they let something control their life?  I have not had a beer since the 1st taste at the age 12. I Left my last chance to play college football because I would not use steroids. I have never used and illegal drug.

That being said I was letting things control me. I had two more teeth pulled today: all due to my addiction of Mountain Dew.  Last year at this time I was tipping the scale at 350 plus pounds. I avoided the scale for most of the 1st three month of 2011.

There was an odd circle happening in my life: I was putting myself on the back for not drinking, smoking or doing drugs. However I was rewarding myself with Mountain Dew. Rather than loading a gun I was loading a shotgun. Either way I was pulling the trigger and it caused me to be addicted and controlled by a Drug.

I knew soad was not good for me, but it always made the pain go away. Never did I think that soda would cause me to have no teeth before 45 years of age. I am embarrassed by my actions and filled with regret.

I have not had a drink of Mountain Dew in over four years. With my regret I still crave it even with the pain it has called me over the years.

Teenage Boy Finds Finger in Arby’s Sandwich

By Sarah B. Weir, Yahoo! blogger

Ryan Hart, a 14-year-old boy from Michigan, had a rude surprise when he bit into his Arby's roast beef sandwich. "I was like, 'that's got to be a finger,'" he told the Jackson Citizen Patriot. "It was just nasty."

Reportedly, a restaurant employee cut off her finger with a meat slicer while preparing the meal. She left her station to deal with the emergency, and other employees, who were unaware of the injury, continued to complete the order.
"Somebody loses a finger and you keep sending food out the window," said the teen's mom, Jamie Vail. "I can't believe that." She added that following the gruesome discovery, her son was "traumatized," couldn't eat or sleep, and had been prescribed medication Fox News reports.
Related: Can Fast Food Make You Depressed?
John Gray, Arby's vice president of corporate communications, provided Yahoo! Shine with a statement saying, "Arby’s wants to reassure customers that we are committed to providing quality food in a safe and healthy environment. We are deeply concerned and apologetic to the guest involved in this unfortunate incident....An isolated and unfortunate accident occurred in a franchisee’s Jackson, Michigan restaurant in which an employee was injured. Upon learning of the incident, the franchisee’s restaurant team shut down food production and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the restaurant. The franchisee fully cooperated with the Health Department during the investigation, and the restaurant was given the approval to remain open."
This is not the first time human remains have been found in a fast food meal but this case might be the most extreme.

• A Dayton Ohio man sued Arby's in 2005 for reportedly serving him a chicken sandwich topped with a piece of human skin.
• In a famous 2005 hoax, a Las Vegas woman found a human finger in Wendy's chili but police later discovered she had cooked her husband's colleague's finger (which he had lost in a work accident) and slipped it into the bowl herself.
• An Albany-area man allegedly found a bloody bandage in the crust of his Pizza Hut pie in 2011.
• Also in 2011, Texan woman found blood on her French fries while eating at a Houston-area Crackle Barrel.

Do you think the health and safety standards are high enough at fast food restaurants? Please let us know in the comments below.

Some Days you just want to quit!!!

-Your tired

-You want to be lazy

-Pizza sounds better then chicken and Peppers

-Quitting is so easy

-Some days we all want to QUIT!! Doesn't matter the level Doesn't matter the desire you want to QUIT.. Everyone does have these desire's. Its what you do with them is important. You can have them drive you to a better self or you can blend into the norm of today's world. I hate being normal. .Even after losing  86 pounds in the last 10 months. Today was a day I wanted to lay on the couch watch stupid movies and see how many different ways I can fry cheese. I just wanted to give up. Here is the problem with me giving up today- Seven years ago in college I lost a lot of weight and I gave up one day which lead to a second day and that snow balled into a few good weekend mixed into some very bad days and O MY GOD, I'm 350 pounds
-If I quit today I may never return- Reggie Roby's death has always scared me to keep living-

Really like this blog check them out- 

Giving 10% effort and looking for 110% results!

I find it funny how many people show up to the gym giving 10% effort. Then mad, because they want 110% results. Why do people come to the gym then complain there excising? At a local 5k, My family(Wife-ME and 3 year old son) helped this RACE. Called C.A.R.E. 5K & 10K Run and Walk for Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Awareness in Wauke, Iowa. I had some many people start cutting maybe 200 yards off the WALK, to save them self. Time and the fact they were hurting. This was before the 2 mile mark in the race!

The best line all day a family of 3, Mother, Father and son. All over weight, the husband said were going to walk straight, the son said thank god. The Mother looked at both and SAID HELL NO WERE NOT CHEATING!!! THAT IS WHY WERE FAT AND SO OUT OF SHAPE.

Rest and be happy or Fight for more?

Today I had my best weight in I 10 years!! 264, which mean's I have 86 pounds of weight lost in the last 10 months!! I'm at a cross roads right now. I could very well look to maintain and be an average overweight person like so many are. Or I can want more. MORE MORE MORE- 250 pounds has been a huge weight in my head for the past 3 years of doing this blog. Many nights only a pipe dream at best. Now no longer a pipe dream but a part of my reality. I know longer just want that 250, I feel my Degree field is also a reality. I have so many more door open today, which means rest isn't a reality.My son showed a kid in school what a spider man push-up was. I want to be the father other father's hate because I'm fit-driven and successful.

Joseph's Bakery the best Stuff on Earth

I have always been a Bread boy living in Iowa. Love bread. Many years ago I went low Carb diet and tired many different options. Nothing really worked long term.

Low carbohydrate options were often so pricey it was better to eat you wrap-taco or sandwich naked with out anything.

Then I found the answer!!!!

Been a battle, But a Battle will only make you stronger!!

More option for a career, fitness, enjoying life better, being a better role model for my wife and son. Leading other people into rebuild mode. Teaching and rebuilding other people that are lost like I was. Making fitness affordable, enjoyable and long lasting success to a population of people that often get left in the fitness race. I see 273 as a battle and I'm going to stand up and be 268 May. With 250 being a realistic goal .

New Year for Devon

Last year at this time. I ate so much junk. I was pushing 350 and the weakest of my life. Now I'm 275 and feel strong and hungry. Hungry not for food but for 250. A even better improved Devon. I most do it. My life depends on this.

Never Cheat with fitness. Your Cheating yourself-

I was at the gym last week and these two lady beat me. I know they cheated, cut the run short I did 100 lungs they did 35, etc. They wanted to brag about beating me by a few seconds. I just smiled and walk away. I'm here to improve my heath I spent way to much time cheating on my fitness. Its not worth even dealing with these people.

Max Life Fitness The real Deal! Nothing can Compare

We all know there are a million ways to lose weight. Diet-fad- running- YMCA- Boot camps- Fitness studios- Personal trainer, etc. I live in Des Moines, the Capital of Iowa, but compared to the rest of America a little piece of the heartland. We have fitness options on almost every corner. Some are good many don't last more than a year. However Max Life Fitness, is the real deal when it comes to fitness.

A little history on me, I have made some bad choice the last few years. During a simple pink eye outbreak which sideline me down for almost 2 weeks. I missed a family vacation, missed work and most important wasn't much of a husband or father. Sitting at the doctor's office I weighed in at 350 pounds, June 2011. I was soo mad at myself for the choices I had made. I wouldn't live to see my son finish high school at this rate. I made some positive changes in my life. Better food, started moving and lost 40 pounds. January of this year I started Max Life Fitness. Lost 35 pounds gained muscle and lost major inches to my body in the 1st 40 days. In 6 month last year I dropped 40 pounds and during 80 days of Max Life Fitness lost 35 pounds. Measurements from just the 1st 40 days of Joining Max Life Fitness.

350 to 275 and all I see is fat

Right now all I see is fat. 75 pounds and I think I look fatter today then 6 months ago. When I was 350 I had a mind set that 50 pounds and I would be all find. Its the same mental thinking I had at 220 and 260 and then 350. Now after 75 pounds lost I see I need a good 40 more pounds to get in the range and fully rebuild myself into the best me I CAN BE!

My next Chapter Crushing Succes

My Path the last 8 months have been rocky to say the best. bad- Sick, rejection from jobs, money issues, praying every day that my car work this week, my teeth issues ( kids say now to Mountain dew). The good- wife-son- new full-time job. But the biggest high has been the 70 pounds eliminated from my body. 70 POUNDS. I have went from pushing 350 to 280. I'm still overweight and have more to go but I look forward to not only CRUSHING more weight lost but with the newer improved Devon tackling the world with victorious success. I turned Money Issues and a 3:30am job (bad) into a extra kick to losing weight. I turned my fear of Max Life Fitness into a new love and added weight lost, and a desire to get back into my degree field and help other people CRUSH there bad into good-

McDonald’s confirms that it’s no longer using ‘pink slime’ chemical in hamburgers

By Eric Pfeiffer | The Sideshow – 22 hrs ago

Ammonium hydroxide, image from KSDK TV

McDonald's announced last week that, as of last August, is has stopped using ammonium hydroxide in the production of its hamburgers. MSNBC reports that the chemical, used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even homemade explosives, was also used to prepare McDonalds' hamburger meat.

And while the announcement is making headlines, you may (or may not) want to know about some other unusual chemicals being used in the production of some of our most-popular foods:

The International Business Times lists some other questionable chemicals showing up in our foods:

Propylene glycol: This chemical is very similar to ethylene glycol, a dangerous anti-freeze. This less-toxic cousin prevents products from becoming too solid. Some ice creams have this ingredient; otherwise you'd be eating ice.

Carmine: Commonly found in red food coloring, this chemical comes from crushed cochineal, small red beetles that burrow into cacti. Husks of the beetle are ground up and forms the basis for red coloring found in foods ranging from cranberry juice to M&Ms.

Shellac: Yes, this chemical used to finish wood products also gives some candies their sheen. It comes from the female Lac beetle.

L-cycsteine: This common dough enhancer comes from hair, feathers, hooves and bristles.

Lanolin (gum base): Next time you chew on gum, remember this. The goopiness of gum comes from lanolin, oils from sheep's wool that is also used for vitamin D3 supplements.

Silicon dioxide: Nothing weird about eating sand, right? This anti-caking agent is found in many foods including shredded cheese and fast food chili.

So, what moved McDonald's to make the change in their hamburger production? In a statement posted on its website, McDonald's senior director of quality systems Todd Bacon wrote:

"At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world."

The U.S. Agriculture Department classifies the chemical as "generally recognized as safe." McDonald's says they stopped using the chemical months ago and deny the move came after a public campaign against ammonium hydroxide by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

You can watch video of Jamie Oliver showing the process of using ammonium hydroxide on meat here:

The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which allows McDonald's to use otherwise "inedible meat."

On his show, Oliver said of the meat treatment: "Basically we're taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest form for dogs and making it 'fit' for humans."

Even more disturbing, St. Louis-based dietician Sarah Prochaska told NBC affiliate KSDK that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the "component in a production procedure" by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food.

"It's a process, from what I understand, called 'mechanically separated meat' or 'meat product,'" Prochaska said. "The only way to avoid it would be to choose fresher products, cook your meat at home, cook more meals at home."

Kid eats only chicken nuggets!

Day in Health

by Lisa Collier Cool

Recent Posts

When the kids are wailing, the boss wasn’t happy with your presentation, and the kitchen is anything but pristine, what mom hasn’t thrown up her hands and given in to demands for chicken nuggets? Like, three times a week?

Maybe Mom should tell the kids: Be careful what you wish for.

Read about celebrities who dealt with eating disorders.

This week 17-year-old British factory worker Stacey Irvine was rushed to the hospital when she collapsed, struggling to breathe. During the exam, doctors were stunned to learn that Ms. Irvine had never in her life eaten fruit or vegetables; instead she had eaten almost nothing but fast-food chicken nuggets since she was two years old.

Her mother, Evonne Irvine, told reporters she had gone to great lengths to try to feed her daughter more nutritious food, at one point even trying to starve the girl, but it hadn’t worked. Stacey responded that, once she started eating nuggets, she “loved them so much they were all I would eat.”

Learn to grow your own fruits and vegetables.

What’s so bad about nuggets?

They would be bad enough if they were merely chunks of chicken that had been breaded and deep-fried in oil. One documentary describes McDonald's nuggets as chickens “stripped down to the bone, and then 'ground up’ into a chicken mash, then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald’s near you.”

Aside from chicken and oil, those “stabilizers and preservatives” are said to include dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone also used in cosmetics. Another additive is tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a form of butane. According to one report, chicken is only about 50 percent of a McNugget; the remainder is a mixture of corn-derived ingredients, sugars and synthetic substances.

If a four-piece serving of Chicken McNuggets carried a nutrition label, at first glance it wouldn’t seem too scary: 190 calories, 12 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fat. But consider that more than half of those calories (56 percent) are from fat—and protein accounts for a mere four percent. Add a whopping 360 mg sodium, and its image as “the more nutritious fast-food snack” fades.

Read about 15 surprisingly healthy fast food picks.

What’s the worst that can happen?

Aside from collapsing and gasping for air, as Stacey Irvine did? Doctors also discovered that the veins in Ms. Irvine’s tongue were swollen and she was diagnosed with anemia. Further, such a high salt intake can increase a person’s blood pressure (which ultimately can put them at risk for a stroke or heart attack).

McNuggets are low in nutrients everyone needs, such as calcium, fiber, vitamins, antioxidants and healthy fats, so a steady diet of nuggets means missing out on the health benefits of those ingredients.

Find out which vitamins you really need.

So what’s a parent to do?

If your kids are hooked on nuggets, experts offer these suggestions for steering them towards healthier eating:

• Serve a variety of healthy foods at home to prevent “picky eater” habits from forming. Taking them grocery shopping, teaching them to find and choose foods, and involving them in meal planning tells them you want to prepare meals they will enjoy.
• Set realistic goals. If the child bristles at eating a side portion of veggies, make a game to get him to take one bite of the new-tasting food.
• Make your own chicken snacks at home, using healthy dipping sauces like marinara sauce, yogurt or mustard. If you must bread the nuggets, dip them in an egg, roll them in cornflake crumbs and bake, don’t fry.
• If you’re eating out, cut out half of the trans and saturated fat by ordering a grilled chicken sandwich instead of nuggets. Order for your child from the adult menu, or share your sandwich with her, so the nuggets issue doesn’t come up.
• Be consistent and firm, but encourage and praise the child every time she tries a new, healthier food. And be a good role model—don’t expect children to eat healthy when one or both parents snack on salty chips or fatty, processed foods.
• Keep healthy foods in the meal, even when you give in and allow your child to order nuggets. Serve it with a side salad, fruit, or a slice of whole-grain bread.

Biggest Loser - Number are not real life!

When I weigh myself its often before and after a work-out. However its not after setting in a sauna-Room for 4 hours and not eating all day. Any one could get 20 pound weight lost when they take those steps. How real is working Out 8 hours a day and then Sweat off the water, before a weigh in? This activity is not allowed in Wrestling because it unsafe. Iowa where wrestling is god finds this practice unsafe, Yet TV's Biggest Loser pass it off as normal weight lost practice. Yet were setting up a generation of people to fail because they don't know 1 or 3 pounds is a huge postive. They want the Biggest Loser numbers. I have had people that have degrees and have book smarts tell me 20 pounds in 6 month isn't good They do that on the Biggest Loser.

Reggie Roby February 22, 2005 dies at 43

In the days after Roby's death, former Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula praised Reggie Roby: "He was an outstanding punter for us and his booming kicks often helped us win the field position battle."
