Embracing Ultra Bobby Perez This podcast is about my health and lifestyle change. Over 3 years ago I was extremely overweight. I ate absolutely everything and anything. Constantly made excuses for being tired, lazy, unmotivated, and so on. One day I stepped on a scale and was blown away, I gave myself until the end of the month to get myself together and become accountable. In no way shape or form am I trying to tell anyone how to live their life, I’m just trying to tell you a bit about mine. This is about my mindset and how I changed it to help me to where I am today.
