Let me start by telling you a little about me. My name is David M Waldron, and I am a Casting Director in Manhattan. I recently turned 30 and about 2 months ago purchased my first home. I could not be happier. I have a great career, an amazing family, and a group of friends that seem more like family.
Recently I was up waiting for my call times for the NBC Series that I am currently working on and I was skimming the channels for something to watch. I came upon the CW's updated 90210. I must admit that in the 90s I was a fan of the original, so I thought what the heck. Let me check it out. After about 5 minutes in, what I realized was that I was watching a series full of fit and hot actors playing high school students, some of who were closer to my age then the characters they were portraying. This hit me hard. Here were these actors, who were fit and in shape and looked hot. Why couldn't I look like that? No really, why couldn't I? So then I thought with the right team behind me I could. So I have hired a great nutritionist to help with creating a healthier diet. I have hired a personal trainer that is going to create an exercise routine fit for the stars. I set a deadline, well, because I like a challenge and I don't like to lose. What better motivation could that be. There is also one other part to this challenge. You see the actor on the series who is close to my age, Trevor Donovan, also posed for a picture a couple of years ago. The last part of the challenge is that on the 365th day, I will be recreating this photo. Below is what I will be recreating.
No I do not own this photo and have no right to it, so please do not repost it.
Go ahead, make fun or judge me. But this is a man that is so comfortable with his body and has pride in it. That's what I want. I want to feel hot in my body. I also know that he was a model when this photo was taken. All that does is motivate me even more.
So why am I doing this challenge? Some of you may think that this is just a stunt; a way to get attention and maybe your right. What I know is that the my uncle died in his forties from a massive heart attack and my father has suffered one as well. I realize that I have some markers (thanks diane for teaching me about them) that aren't on my side and genetics doesn't help either. If I want to be around for another thirty years, I need to get healthy. Thats means changing my diet (which for years included an over abundance of ice cream, candy and well, you get the picture) and set in motion an exercise routine that has my muscles and body working towards the healthier and fitter me! So join me for this journey as I experience what it means to truly be the better version of me.
I like this challenge. Best of luck!
