I'm your typical 40 something that has evolved from the 150 pound high level soccer (insert your sport here) player in his teens and early 20s, to the father of 4 desk jockey that enjoys good food, good wine, and is no where near as active as he should be. Recently I hit 215 pounds and decided enough was enough!

I tried gyms several times but I just couldn't find/didn't make the time to get there. I was a little uncomfortable around all of the 20 something "beautiful people" and the fanatical workout types. I also didn't do well without someone driving me and couldn't afford the personal trainers the gyms had.

Right now I play recereational soccer once a week and that's about it. I coach youth soccer, but that doesn't really add to my physical exertion, unless you count the extra effort required to get 9 year olds to hear you from across the field. And I'll occassionally referee a soccer match or three on a weekend. My mental energy level and overall satisfaction with life have tanked in the last 6 months. My love life has gone from a healthy level to a drizzle and I'm no where near as motivated at work. I've gotten short with the kids and have to check my anger far too often. I'm convinced my issues are because of my weight and lack of exercise.

I decided I needed to do something a few months ago when, to top everything else off, I suffered a self diagnosed grade 2 calf strain. I realized that I wasn't recovering from minor injuries like I used to, can't run as long as I used to, and was getting frustrated with my level of play.
