Terence Haynes Update

The Terence Haynes story (originally posted in March) has been updated with a new video.  As many of you know, the original video was removed by the site that first ran the story.  I recently updated the original entry with an ESPN video which is even better than the first.

I’ve also embedded the new video here for your convenience.  After watching his story, you’ll realize why it is worth the repost.  Many who are currently overweight need to see stories like this to realize that it IS possible to completely change their lives.  Inspiration for many doesn’t come by watching professional athletes, but rather by watching people with similar backgrounds who have changed their lives for the better.

Even if you saw the original video, the new video is still well worth it.

    This is a very moving story of the triumph of the human spirit. The “real man” inside Terrence would not be denied. I will use his triumph to inspire myself in my own battle of the bulge.
