I got permission to post a photo of Tami and Gino before Guillain-Barre. The picture on the left is of them in 2000. The picture on the right is them 12 weeks later, after a Body-for-Life challenge. They actually have managed to stay in great shape over the long haul, due to a complete change of eating and activity habits.
Tami is staying fit running after her son. Gino is staying focused on regaining what he’s lost during the illness’s run.
Tami and Gino have counseled other people wanting to bring wellness into their lives. You can find a lot of good information on their website at Start Today Fitness.
I’m so proud of my sister and her husband! Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

Holy smokes! What magic happened to them in only 12 weeks! Remarkable!Well they are still proving to be magical. (was Gino taking any kind of stimulant to build up?)Quick recovery Gino!
Hi Lori! I wanted you to know that I blogged about Weebles Wobblog at < HREF="http://foreverparents.blogspot.com/2007/06/few-more-adoption-blogs-i-like.html" REL="nofollow">Forever Parents<>.
They really changed a lot that is amazing.
No stimulants, but I can tell you that the last week prepping for the judging and photos is a bear! All they ate all week was protein — no carbs or fat. No veggies or plant food. T&G got real crabby and, well, ummmm, let’s just say the digestive tract wasn’t too happy.So yes, we’re hopeful that his body will respond as well as it did back then.
Thanks, Joanne! I’m coming for a visit.
