Mark....looking trim ! Nice work. How did you shed the pounds?
Thanks! Working out 10 times a week (6 days ). Eating 6 times a day in smaller portions. Cutting out all sugar as possible and processed foods (as much as possible ). No fast food.
In March, I couldn't run 400 yards without gasping for air. This morning I ran 12 miles in 2 hours as part of my LSD. I won my age group in a 5k recently in just over 22 minutes.
My bodyfat before was over 30%. Now it is 10%. It has been an incredible journey to say the least.
Since I am rambling, why not go on
It all started when I got my cholosterol results back. It was 241. I had no idea what cholosterol even was (old person's thing I thought ). Nurse called and said I needed to go on Lipitor right away. Doctor didn't even consult me about natural options. That was my wake up call.
I went to a different doctor last month and my cholosterol results were 180 and my resting heart rate was 38.
I love this board. Truly inspiring. I still have a lot of self-doubt (hard to get rid of ) but it is slowly being replaced by confidence.
