The Results of Dedication: Diet and Workout Secrets From the Busy Professional HON. EMIL GIORDANO (RET.), NORRIS MCLAUGHLIN P.A
People have asked me, "How did you do it? How did you transform yourself in such a short period of time?" For those of you who don't know me, I am at the gym training every day at 5 AM and have done so religiously for the last 20 years, barring any injuries. I began this 5 AM regimen after the birth of our first child when I realized that no one interrupted you at that time. My transformation actually started before the pandemic in October of 2019, when my weight crept up to 282 pounds. When I began losing weight, I got down to 260 pounds by November 8, 2019. When the pandemic hit and my sons were sent home, we all lived together again. By September of 2020, my weight went up to 302 pounds. Needless to say, despite the fact that I worked out every day, I was discouraged by this change. I mostly attributed it to the fact that I was eating the snacks that were in the house for my sons. After graduating from Law School, I was a competitive bodybuilder and, in fact, competed in several contests into my mid-thirties. I would regularly run 5k or 10k a few times a year. For several years, I taught aerobics at the Bethlehem Racquetball Club, which allowed me to maintain a good weight. I was in good shape from age twenty-five to thirty-six, but when our first child was born, I began gaining weight again. I carried this weight for quite some time and finally decided at age sixty that I would work on getting into the same shape I was in when I was thirty.
