ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
VULNERABLE POST: 
In 2016 I was at my heaviest weight of 232. Although I was into cycling at the time and rode hundreds of miles per week, I couldn’t drop the weight. After selling the bike I simply decided to start making many small and manageable lifestyle changes. As a result, I lost about 40 lbs. What worked for me the best was a keto lifestyle. 

I also started a weight training program but wasn’t thrilled with the results. Although I saw improvement, I would plateau on gains and losses. However, after having an honest conversation with myself, I came to the conclusion that I did a half assed job. I would skip days, cut training short etc. 
Through covid I started consuming more alcohol than I have since my divorce 13 years ago and also increased my use of tobacco. The tobacco habit has been an on and off battle for 30 years. 
Past blood work revealed a fatty liver, high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Although I was 40 lbs lighter I really want to see how fit I can get, how good I can feel and how getting healthy can have a positive impact on my blood work. 

As a result, I am going all in on what I’m calling the #huntinghealthchallenge. 

Improving my numbers isn’t the only reason for this challenge. I want to push my body and mind far beyond where I am now.

MY RULES
NO ALCOHOL 
NO TOBACCO 
MUST EXERCISE A MINIMUM OF ONE HOUR EVERY DAY!!

I want to inspire others and create an accountability community. Honestly, I want to look great in a bathing suit 👍🏼😂. As a 47 year old dad with 3 kids (youngest is 8 months) I need to be & do better.

If you would like to step up to the challenge and join me on a 12 week body transformation journey, please DM me ASAP. I am starting the program on 1.3.22. 

I will share my schedule, training/meal program and more in future posts.
