In spring I decided to finally got my act together and to finish what started a few years ago.

The journey has been bitter sweet going from fit to fat and back.

Less then 20lbs from my goal!

What's important is I have my health and fitness back.

This week I'll tip 2000 miles in the bike for the year, I have over 4000 in the last few years. I'm running 5ks again and going to do some races here very soon.

At times it's been two steps back before I moved forward but I kept at it.

    Great work....for a moment I thought it was two different people who just happened to wear the same glasses.
    In the second pic you've got the shirt'n'tie, hipster beard, cool jeans and belt, hair gel, etc.
    You look good dude. Keep it up.

    An old doctor told me few years back that fitness is with your feet and weight loss is with your mouth.

    That was sort of the catalyst that got me going.
