Retired from the Navy and continued to drink and not workout. Health issues (type 2) came from that and had a scare that put me straight! Decided to stop drinking for the time being and by no means was I an alcoholic, but I know that drinking elevated my sugars and they were so high that it affected the way I felt day to day. Cancelled medicine didn't help, but now I am my medication again, but gonna get healthy and maybe not need it anymore. It runs in the family, but I have decided it will not run me! I need some motivation at times, but I really feel determined!

It feels good to get back into shape and though I am just starting, I feel it is the best thing for me.
