I started in DEC 09. I found that I would be out of breath going up 3 steps of a stairway. I was fortunate enough to have worked for a company a few years back that had a full gym and a trainer that came in twice a week. However, when I changed jobs I found all the wrong reasons to stop working out.

My body building has been an up and down battle most of my adult life. I have some heart issue which every few years put me back in the hospital. I gain 60 or so lbs and start over usually takes me a year or so to get back in decent shape . I had heart surgery in March and have been gaining allot of strength, yet until this challenge popped up in my email today had not decided to turn the corner to true fitness until today. This challange ends a few weeks after the anniversary of heart surgery March 19,2015.
