It's hard for me to remember what life was like at 207 lbs because my life is so different now. I had horrible pain in my knees, I was tired all the time, I was cranky and irritable because I was so undernourished. I would go all day on coffee and cream and carbs for lunch and dinner and LOTS of refined sugars. I felt horrible and I would sleep in as long as I could, I smoked, drank too much and complained that I never got any "breaks" in life. The breaking point came when I couldn't fit into the chair at work.

It was winter of 2006 and I was on vacation. I got a call from a co-worker about my boss. He had an accident in Florida and broke his arm. That wasn't the big deal. The big deal was his heart.

He was healthy, swam everyday and has a passion for his profession. You baske in the residual glow when you are around him. He loves what he does and that is contagious. How could this man have a heart condition? He had more heart than anyone I've ever met! He was doing all the right things. Exercising, healthy eating habits, a wide social network of friends, and an enthusiasm to come to work.

That made me take a hard look at my life. I smoked, didn't exercise, and had atrocious eating habits. It was time to take control of this ship. I dug my heels in where I stood and started climbing.
