To put it mildly, I was overweight. I'd spent the better portion of my late twenties and early thirties playing video games in my down time. I work in a office, so I spent most of my days in the same basic position. Add in a terrible diet, and my weight had ballooned up to 235 pounds. I got to a point where my wedding ring no longer fit.
I'm sorry about this last one...
Aside from the affect the weight had on my figure, the alarm bells were starting to go off at the doctors office. My physician was concerned enough about my over all health and results of my blood-work to recommend that I begin taking Statins to lower my cholesterol levels.
I was 33 at the time. I was shocked and scared. Thing is, it took me about 6 months past the appointment to get over the shock and off my ass. The thing that finally got me moving was a blog post by an high school class mate.
cool blog. good insights.
