Worked out off and on teens through late twenties. I would come very close to my goals but fall short and out of the habit for one reason or another. I've gained weight along with my wife through each pregnancy and each kid. I was at the Doctor at least once a month for five months straight. My sugar was high, blood pressure always been high, and good cholesterol low. Was feeling lathargic everyday this is not the me I want to be. I rembered feeling so strong and alive when I used to work out. I want that again., I'm tired of feeling dead, it's time!

It's me time, you don't get much of that with a family. The gym clears my thoughts and my worries for the brief time I'm there.
