I was in decent, but not great, shape in '99 when I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. Pills weren't able to keep my blood sugar under control, so in '02 I started insulin therapy. It worked for controlling the sugar levels, but even with decent diet and excercise my weight shot up from 180 lbs to almost 220. With more diet and excercise adjustments I was able to get some of the weight off, but continued to hover at +/- 5 lbs of 200. I had been working as a part-time police officer and finally went full time in '06. The police academy and its PT regimen finally helped me break through the plateau and I got down to 180 lbs. I kept going to the gym and doing some running, but started backsliding a bit during the months after the academy. I started P90X 8/27/07 to get back on track and set my goals to get down to 175 lbs and shrink my bodyfat to 12-15%. With my first round complete, my weight actually went up 5 pounds with the additional muscle while my bodyfat percentage went down to 17%, very near my goal. I'm now into my second round of P90X looking to continue to get leaner and reach my 175 pound goal and shrink my bodyfat to 12%. Continued commitment to the excercise regimen and rededication to clean nutrition will be the keys to meeting my goals.
