FormerlyMe.com presents “Victory Days”
WHAT IS FORMERLYME?
FormerlyMe is an online movement to motivate and inspire people to become the best version of themselves by showing them my journey and experience in trying a new workout and lifestyle regime every 30 days. Every post, update, and video is ‘formerly me’ as I endeavor to become the best version of myself and become FormerlyMe. Each month CP Magazine will showcase a part of my journey to becoming the best version of myself. I hope that in turn this inspires and motivates you to start your own journey as well. For this month’s story we will focus on the “Victory Days” of my journey. Jim West

ene Labrada had given me the word “Victory Day” to replace the words “Cheat Day” as this was a positive connection to keep in my mind as I was earning this day to eat whatever I wanted (within reason). Some days I would eat my favirite burgers at Shake Shack, and other days I would eat All You Can Eat Buffets. Yet another thing I would do is try new experiences that fit under the umbrella of wellness. Some of these experiences included floating, ultrasonic fat loss treatments, and even pole dancing fitness. Each of these experiences helped me gain a perspective of the various levels of fitness that I was either not ready for or showed me there is much more to fitness than a gym. First up was Blissful Waters Float Center and sensory deprivation therapy. On my first float my entire body immediately felt complete relaxation due mainly to the water being heated to right at body temperature. There is so much salt in the water than you just cannot sink at all. Floating relieves stress, anxiety, depression, back/neck pain, chronic pain from arthritis, jet lag, muscle/joint pain, and more. Many people utilize floating for pain management. I ended up trying three one hour floats and had a wonderful experience every time and will be going more often in the future. 38
