I was deployed to Iraq and wanted to get into better shape. It worked out pretty well while I was there, and then I got home, rediscovered tasty (but unhealthy) food and lost probably 3/4 of the gains I made while I was deployed. after a few years of going to the gym sporadically, without a set routine or a healthy diet, I decided to pick it back up and get into better shape and eat a completely healthy diet to match.

It is a good way to spend time, without spending money. It also makes me feel better about myself when I look into the mirror and see a more fit version of myself, and it is awesome due to the obvious health benefits.
