Living a Healthy Lifestyle: Haven't posted in a week..

About Me:

I used to weigh 375 lb. Mid July 2010 my grandfather passed away from complications with diabetes. I saw first hand what I was going towards. It was not pretty. In August of the same year I began this journey to lose weight and become more fit. Many don't know this but at first it was a journey to try and play College Football. (I know a long shot) Over the months of running and gym workouts I found a love for running and cycling. I combined that love and did my first Triathlon in June 2011. With that I pushed to see what the limit was. I have run more races than I can count, 5k's, half marathons, marathons, and Ironman Arizona. Doors have opened in my life that I never thought possible. Moving back to Maryland I trained as an EMT/Firefighter along with becoming a terp at UMD. There I joined the Maryland Triathlon team GO TERPS!! In the Summer of 2014 I will be joining others on a bike ride called the 4K for Cancer from Baltimore to San Francisco to help raise money for the Ulman Cancer Fund For Young Adults. Today I weigh 245 lb and life is good. This is my journey:

Haven't posted in a week..

Been super busy as the last week went by. Food was cheated on but workouts were not skipped. Had a few issues with the bike today but nothing too crazy. Aero bar fitting this Saturday to get ready for the upcoming tri season I can't wait. I thought I would post and update, the weight has not really shifted too much. 2 Pounds have come off overall and i'll add another picture here to the weight loss journey. Weight training is really paying off and push-ups are actually fun :).

Looking at my next marathon to run, hopefully this summer but I have to coordinate with my tri's and other priorities. Ottawa with my friend Mike? Possibly... Fun day tomorrow and hopefully some outdoor riding by this weekend. We'll see..
