I had achieved everything in my life, everything I\u2019ve wanted\u2014school, med school, residency\u2014I\u2019ve done everything. The only thing I hadn\u2019t achieved was to lose weight. I was at the point where my doctor wanted me to go see a psychiatrist to get pills for anxiety, for losing weight, and I said, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So it was a point where I needed to do something and thankfully, a friend of mine referred me to you. I had tried all the diets out there. I went to some of the gyms around here and paid for the personal trainers, but I never went, because they would only have available [times] at 5:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m. I would not go. I\u2019d just stay at home and say, \u201cOh, it\u2019s too cold. It\u2019s too\u2026\u201d and I would never go.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning, I was like, well, I\u2019ll give it a try, we\u2019ll see. I met with you and said, \u201cSee if you can deliver because no one has delivered yet.\u201d When it comes to time, because of the work I do, my schedule, I work during the day, afternoon, night, middle of the day\u2026and I travel a lot. [I said], \u201cSee what you can do.\u201d It was impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The most active [I had been] before I started with you was in 2008, I walked\u00a0 health marathon. Since then I was like, \u201cOkay, did it. I\u2019m done.\u201d I just started gaining more and more weight. Once I started with you guys, I\u2019ve been exercising at least two to three times a week.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I think I\u2019m dominating something, Erick comes up with something new that makes me get tired again! He has forced me to do cardio. He comes and says, \u201cDid you get on the treadmill?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cWell, l you should get on the treadmill.\u201d So I\u2019ve been doing that up to the point that I\u2019m training to do a 5K run.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, for the first time in my life, I was able to run for five minutes in a row. So it\u2019s been impressive, all the exercise I\u2019ve done. My wife says, \u201cIt\u2019s incredible, they just come,\u201d and it\u2019s worth it. It\u2019s better than doing surgery. [I have lost] 57 pounds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>How has your pant size changed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>I was a 42 when I started and the other day I bought some 34\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>Great, and shirts?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Shirts, I was up to 2XL in t-shirts. Now I\u2019m XL and some even in large.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>You\u2019re in the medical field?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes, I\u2019m an emergency medicine physician so I have to be running, walking and have energy, which I didn\u2019t have before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>Do you feel like you have more energy to do that now?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oh yes. Now I\u2019m just great. It\u2019s great\u2014my doctor backed off on wanting to give me medicines for stuff. I said, \u201cI\u2019m not a quitter. I know I can do this and I don\u2019t need pills.\u201d He\u2019s thinking of taking me off of my blood pressure pills and stuff, so it\u2019s good.<\/p>\n<p>Erick has just been incredible. At some point last year, there was a day where there was a big snow\u201412 inches. I was like, \u201cThere\u2019s no way he\u2019s coming.\u201d Next thing I hear, \u201cBeep, beep!\u201d He\u2019s there. He says he\u2019s going to be here; every time he\u2019s here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>So having that accountability, that consistency and flexibility with your schedule was really the missing component of you achieving your goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes, that flexibility is great. I just come home with my schedule and say, \u201cI\u2019m off this day. This day I work at 7:00 a.m. We can do early or after. This day I work at 3:00 p.m.\u201d He just makes it work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>Did it help that we were coming to your house?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Otherwise, it would not have worked. Coming to my house made a big difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>So what are your goals now? You\u2019ve lost 57 pounds so far. You started at 267? You\u2019re around 211 now. What are your goals?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>I still want to break 200, so my goal is 199 for now. If I can keep going, I\u2019ll keep going and run instead of walk a 5K.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>Run it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hut Allred<br \/>\n<\/strong>Great! You\u2019ve done a great job, and this is a process, it\u2019s a transition, it\u2019s a lifestyle. It sounds like you\u2019ve established those lifestyle habits. We look forward to seeing you through to 199. Good job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Javier Caldera<br \/>\n<\/strong>Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every month we are honored to recognize a personal training client who has made the transition to a much healthier and fit lifestyle.
