his back felt like a bowling ball had been dropped on it as he slept. He was a physical wreck. He was fat. Often the excuse for fast food consumption is that it is everywhere, quick, portable and cheap. But that’s nonsense, Carltock said. There’s no excuses for those who want to lead a healthier lifestyle, he said. Now the trim 6-foot-4-inch Carltock loads up on fresh fruits and vegetables at the local farmers market. “I traded off the old junk I used to eat for healthier foods. I also supplement my diet with protein shakes.” Losing weight, however, takes motivation. Lots of it, Carltock said. Like the good student he is, he did his homework — finding the
right diet, and a great place to work out, for cheap, so he enrolled in Santa Ana College’s exercise and fitness classes. “24 Hour Fitness has nothing on the classes offered here at SAC. They’re only $26 for an entire semester, plus the professors are really great,” said Carltock. “If you don’t have a lot of money and you want to work out, SAC is the place to go.” Xiomara Duenas, a student at SAC who took Instructor Darcy Tyler’s class with Carltock, said she has lost 40 pounds. “It’s easier when you have someone to socialize with because you can share your experiences with them,” said Duenas. With a newfound health and confidence, Carltock has the energy to dance the salsa every Friday night. He is also dating again.
