I can still out fire-fight most of those kids dammit.

I'm a 59 year old retired fire chief. (Volunteer, got a full time job too). I had an unexpected heart attack the morning after a big fire in February 2014. I was eating clean, 185 pounds, running 5K a couple times a week, but my genes simply did not care. I had a STEMI and ended up with one stent and a new birthday. I coded out a couple times through the week, my first time in a hospital. I've been dead, and do not recommend it.

I only had a couple lifestyle targets to change to avoid the next one, I live clean. I increased exercise to every day and decreased stress by decreasing to one job; I retired from Fire Chief to Driver at the end of my two year term in December.

I've been power lifting for ten months now. I figured if I have to log gym time, I might as well build a toy for the wife. Anyway, I've been feeding the muscle gain, but apparently overfeeding it a bit so I'm back on macro monitoring and wearing the Polar Loop till I hit 39" on the waist (45) and 175 pounds. (195)

You came through a very tough time with renewed strength and hope. I too almost kicked the bucket 3 years ago when a blood clot was found in my heart and leg. After 2 days in ICU I came home and threw my smokes in the trash and started walking. Good Luck to you!!!
