I began my journey when I was overweight and with high blood pressure. I knew from family history that I was an ideal candidate for Type II diabetes if I didn't do anything. I weighed 215 pounds and was carrying around 33% body fat. It was also around this time that I was treated for prostate cancer. Cancer and heart disease also run in my family. So I knew I had to do something!

I started a regular workout routine, which helped with the blood pressure, but not my weight. Once I started tracking all of my food and drinks, I started to see how bad my diet was. I decided to get that under control and I started losing the weight. After 10 months of restricting my calorie intake, I got down to 155 pounds but I was still too "fat." I then spent the next year focusing on weight training while continuing to monitor and track my calories, focusing on protein. I am finally where I want to be at 160 pounds and 11% body fat.
