A little over a year ago I tripped getting out of the boat at the dock and one of my daughters said that maybe we shouldn't have the crippled old guy doing it. My mind was willing but not my body. I seriously evaluated myself. I wasn't that old(55) but I was FAT (269#). Blood pressure was 135/100, cholesterol was really high, and I should have already been on metformin. I was staring down the barrel of diabetes. I've heard my wife telling me a million times that I needed to make better choices in life. I will say it. She was RIGHT.
I started with what I was eating and how much I was eating. Drinking water instead of sugary drinks. More God food and little to no highly processed foods. Trying to also eliminating gluten. Getting more sleep. Basically making healthy choices.
Currently I weight 189#. I lost 80 pounds. Blood pressure is 100/65, A1C is now perfect and cholesterol is low.

I didn't realize the dramatic change until I seen a picture that Autumn Lhotka posted on Facebook and a picture from this last weekend.

I recognize the guy in the first photo but who is the young buck in the second one?
