On My Journey

Hey there, I'm Josh!
When I was a NCAA D1 athlete, it was never about, "getting in shape." I was already in a healthy routine and my talent came natural. Almost 5 years later, I realized recently I had let myself go. I am a 6'6 male. When I started a few weeks ago I weighed a scary 315 lbs. After a doctors visit I was told I am on the borderline of type 2 diabetes and at risk of a heart attack at the age of 24. Not cool. I am also getting married in one year. This gives me ONE YEAR to get into the best shape of my life. I want to give the love of my life, who is super supportive, a long healthy life with me. It's time to pick myself up and feel my age. I can do this.
This seems like a cool place with a ton of good information so I am glad to be here.
