It has been a battle becoming healthly.  I was one of those "big" guys who was in shape playing sports with my weight.  Unfortunately it all caught up to me as my health is not good.  I now have type 2 diabetes.  I want to be healthly not only for me but for all my four kids as they get older and for my amazing wife who is my life partner.  The weekend was tough but I was able to stay focued as I shared this with my whole family.  My children are excited and keep me on the right path when I wanted to cheat a little bit.  I have 6 pounds to go for the end of the month and I am looking forward to being a champion!
