The Delta

Posted in Uncategorized on October 28, 2010 by Mark Boughton Photography

Hello!  I recently did some work for the The Delta Fitness in Green Hills for their new website. Randy Holland, owner, and the Group are great!

Two years ago I did work for them in exchange for a “boot,” a 6 week or 10 week intense cardio and weight training program. I photographed 4 people who were about to enter a 10 week boot. One of the guys had my body type. When he came back to my studio for the “after photos” I was blown away! He had completely changed. He looked like a different person.

This and the fact that I was turning 41 was my catalyst. As some of you know I lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. After that 6 weeks was over I could not stop going. I ended up loosing 40 pounds altogether.  After years of eating from every fast food chain on the planet to eating more healthy was not only a big decision, but it was a life changing decision.

Being fit is not easy. I gained some of that 4o pounds back and now as a result I am doing a boot again. This one is 10 weeks and I am two weeks away from being done. The weight has not come of as easy this time with some minor knee problems and then foot issues, but I have managed to bring my weight down to 217, not were I want to be but none the less much better than the 260 I was about 2 years ago.

What I have realized is that I love to eat good food and of course photograph it as well, but what I must do and what we all should do is take the time to exercise. Here is a link to their website: http://thedelta.com/ Check out the images of the Trainers.

Cheers to one and all.
