I was always in great shape loved working out since I was a teenager.when I was about 26 years old I found myself in a cardiac unit with a resting heart rate of 230 beats per minute.I was having a thyroid storm.for a year I was on blood preasure meds suppressants orded no activity I had too cary blood presure and pulse monitor every where .after a year the doctors decided the could not control it and ablated my thyroid with a radioactive isotope.that destroyed my metabolism this all took me from a built 185 pound man too a 265 pound man with no muscle and could not jog too my mail box without having to stop and rest.finally I had enough started small working out lifting weights and decided I wS going to do mma 1 year later I was running miles eating a horribly strict diet but weighed 190 pounds
then my little girl was born I started a new job that ate up all my time so I stopped working out a year later I was at 255 pounds again this time not as bad I still had alot of muscle so I went back in to working out full speed.well I am in it for life now I will not stop again and realized how much I truly love working out
