Welcome to the New ME !!!

HI - I'm a 48 y/o guy from Upper East Tennessee who has re-discovered my good health. I had gastric bypass surgery on October 30, 2003. At the time of my surgery, I weighed 410 and couldn't walk to and from my car at work without getting winded. Now, barely 15 months out, I weigh 240 and work out 4 or 5 days a week. I feel better than I have since my college days - probably more so, since I'm a LOT more sober this time around! My plan is to participate in a beginner mini-sprint tri in Nashville on Memorial Day. I'm taking a golf trip next week (I'm a SLAVE to the little white ball) and when I get back I plan to crank up my training in order to do this mini-tri. I really enjoy visiting this site; I've already gotten SO MUCH information just reading here the last week or so. Wish me luck in my efforts, and the best to all of you also!! It feels so good to FEEL SO GOOD again !!!
