So I am posting this here to help me hold myself accountable. I am 38 and out of shape. I got out of the Marines 15 years ago and swore off exercise. Been working behind a desk for most of that time so that hasn't helped either, although I do still lead a fairly active lifestyle between fishing / hiking / diving. At 6'4 and 235 lbs I am working harder at everything than I should carrying all that extra weight.
So it is time to put a plan in place. About 2 years ago I got down to 215 by watching what I eat and logging it through the "my fitness pal" app on my phone to watch my caloric intake. I am starting that up again as I am a notorious over eater. I am also starting to go to a local gym called Fuel that specializes in HIIT. My plan is to go there once a week (I may increase this to twice a week), run one day a week on my own, and hopefully swim one day per week. This is in addition to getting out fly fishing as often as I can and my usually weekly diving.
My short term goals are to get down below 210 by my vacation in June and hopefully get below 200 shortly thereafter. Wish me luck!
