I had gained a lot of weight and am a former wrestler and karate participant. I had let myself go with the pressures of a 7-5 or 10-8:30 job with an hour drive each way. I wasn't eating right and wasn't taking care of myself. Someone had taken a picture of me and I didn't like what I saw. I went from 185 lbs to 155-158 lbs in about 3 months. I've been holding there ever since.
My challenges are a body that hurts from both wrestling and karate, but the feeling of a good workout outweighs the pain.

Visible reward. Feel better about myself.
