A year ago I couldn't bend over and tie my shoes without my breath being cut off, it was kind of like a race try to get shoes tied before I passed out from lack of oxygen. I had a nice spare tire and no muscle tone, I really looked old and out of shape so I decided I couldn't do much about the old part but I could be in the best shape possible for my age and that is what I have been working towards for the last year. I't has only been the last month that I have gotten serious about the diet part of my program and although having some major gains just from weightlifting I am hoping to go to new a level by incorporating healthy eating. I have never been on a diet in my life so this has been an interesting journey so far and is proving to be the most challenging part.
