My Dad had his second heart attack in 18 months in March of 2012. This is my wake-up call. 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 over weight. I also want to look better for my 20 year reunion in 2016. My highest was 248 lbs in 2010. After ups and downs, I am starting this phase of my journey at 235 lbs in March of 2014. I have always admired the people that serve in the military so I included some of the Army fitness test standards in my goals. These are my goals.
