One year ago I committed to a new journey in my life. I had let my health and body be a secondary thought in my life.
It took trying to carry my son up to bed and to feel like I was going to have a heart attack to realize this was not how I should live.
I started at 5'7", 275lbs, XXXL shirt, and a 44 pant.
Today I am 199lbs, L shirt, and 36 pant.
This change had not only allowed me to feel better, but also allowed me to return to competitive swimming which I never thought I could have ever done when I started this change.
Thank you to everyone that encouraged and supported me this past year especially my wife and kids. In no way is my journey over, but it is a good start.
