I'm flying 24 to 30 hours with 3 or 4 layovers to get to some locations for work every month. I usually gain 5 pounds the day I travel. Two days later I'm back to pre-flight weight.

Me and Rocky's brother? Yeah they're done.

Quality over quantity. Buy a four piece box from a high end chocolatier like John Kelly out of LA (they ship). It's a one off shop, you can't get it anywhere else that I know of, so it shows you put some thought into it. Plus it's some of the best chocolate you'll ever have, so maybe get a second box to stash for yourself.

Yes. (I think so).

Might be worth checking out the Inclusive Fitness Coalition. I don't have any personal experience with them, but they might have some contacts there that could help you get started. They have some veteran specific initiatives. http://incfit.org

Good luck Sean. I'm up the road in ATX.

It's an interesting idea. We are only beginning to understand the role of the gut in everything from immune function to behavioral conditions. What's unfortunate is the most likely beneficiary of this sort of research at this point is the supplement industry. As for metabolism, I don't think it entirely comes down to body…

Talking to my youngest daughter on the phone from 10,000 miles away. "Daddy do they have food there on that side of earth or are you really hungry all the time?"

Relaxation is a good counter to stress once it sets in, but for me what has worked best is a preventative mindset. I have a high stress job and have for many years. One thing I learned early on is to look at potential stressors in very black and white terms. Simply put, if it can't kill me or anyone else nearby in the…

I'd gained about 50 pounds after leaving the military. I got early up one morning and checked email. I learned that a friend I served with for many years had been killed. His story was featured by Tom Brokaw on Dateline and a link to the news piece randomly popped up when I closed my email. I wondered what he would think…

"Tell me with whom you go and I'll tell you who you are". Always looking for right-minded friends. Well maybe not necessarily "right" in the head, but like minded will do. Thanks!

Feels like I never left the dark side. :) Thanks!

Yep that's it! Let's go. Good luck to you!

Help others get where they want to be if I can. Be accountable to myself with the help of people who are also working towards a goal. Get below 10% body fat and in the best shape of my life. I've been there before, and then I wasn't, and then I was again, and now I'm not. I'd like to get there and stay there.…
