I'm a single dad who is in the military. There was a period of time where I got very lazy and gained alot of weight. I deployed with the military and struggled the last deployment because I didnt take care of my self. I started lifting, but lately, I am realizing that isn't enough.

I got my son into Tae Kwon Do. Sitting around waiting for the class to be over got boring so I joined back up. It is hard with the wieght lifting too. I am getting better and I have been toning my body as well. This has inspired me to do more events like 5K's which i would never have done a year ago. I was motivated to start fixing myself while in Iraq, but that wasn't long lived. Now, I'm doing it for my son, my daughter, Tae Kwon Do and the Boy Scouts Of America.

It has been a great life style and a great hobby.
