I am very stoked and proud of mysel...The Sedentary lifestyle took a toll on my body unti 2 months ago...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life...

A few months ago my LDL was 85, HDL 80 and doc says see you in 6 months. I also went from 235 lbs to 190lbs and 3 months ago got tired of racquetball and bought a road bike, road 24 miles with an A- group and getting better every week.
