I found this site while looking for ideas to help me recover from the past couple of years. I am looking forward to learning and offering what I can.
 
Where have you been? Are you in the army or something?
 
Two years ago I was kicked out of the Army after seven years of service because of a heart problem caused by improper medical care from an Army doctor. I was told my heart would never be the same. Because of that I was turned down for every law enforcement job I applied. So, I took a job in Iraq first as a truck driver then I got into Security. I was over there for almost two years when the reduction in force came down. Working 12+ hours a day over there left me little time and no energy to do anything physical. Keep in mind my heart was part of the problem. I gained some weight and lost all the muscle I had. I returned home a little over a month ago and made the decision to get active and get in law enforcement. I do not care what others tell me I cannot do. I have been running and biking and feeling great. I have not lost a lot of weight but all my clothes are very baggy on me and the belts I could not wear before are now too big. I know muscle weighs more than fat so I gauge my success by my shrinking waste line. I am not any wear near where I want to be, but every step is a step forward and I am already doing more than I was told I could do. My goal is to get down to around 190 an run a 16 minute two miles. Running is an issue for me because of my knees and I think I am working against myself as I run. So I need a little help getting that down. I look forward to the days I bike. I consider every hill I take around here a small victory towards my end goal. I love biking so much that when I cannot sleep at night I head out for a ride.
 
Thank you for the welcome.
