My Dad had his second heart attack in March of 2012. I do not want to develop diabetes, have a heart attack, or be fat. I am tired of having low back problems, primarily caused by being overweight. My highest weight was 248 lbs in 2010. After ups and downs, I am starting this phase of my journey at 240 lbs on June 1 of 2018. I began a Cross-fit class on July 30, 2018 and I began prepping my meals for the week. I have always admired the people that serve in the military so I included some of the Army and Marine fitness test standards in my goals. These are my goals:
