The new guy....

Hello all...just wanted to take a quick second to say hello and introduce myself. I'm a 31 year old guy who stumbled onto this website while looking up health stuff. I'm just trying to get back into shape after letting myself go over the last two years or so. I used to practically live in the gym...though I got frustrated by the attitudes I ran into there. I'm a former martial artist and musician who works funky hours so I don't really see myself getting back to the gym soon. I am a new dad as a little over a year ago, my wife and I had a son who was born with club feet and is deaf. Due to all the doctors and traveling to see specialists and whatnot I have really put exercise on the back burner. Of course with the new year comes new resolutions but I'm adamant and determined to get a few pounds off, tone up, and at some point try to run a 5k this year....I've never been much of a runner so I'm sure this will be the tough objective. I don't have a pic up yet but will before the end of the day. I have noticed that as a guy I think I'm extremely outnumbered in this community...however, encouragement and motivation is always a good thing. Take care & God bless...Jamie
