After hitting 310 a few weeks ago, realizing that 40 was in 18 months and my 20 year high school reunion 3 weeks away I decided to make some changes. Luckily I help coach my kids wrestling team 4 nights a week for 1.5 hours a night. This is an awesome workout if you do it with the kids instead of watching/yelling  . We do a ton of cardio, strength training and wrestling during the practices so it's been a huge help. My schedule is hectic and time to workout other than that has been a stretch. I've also started walking on our treadmill every day for 30 minutes at 3.6 MPH as well. I've lost 18 lbs so far and I plan to continue. The biggest change was banning all cookies/sweets from being purchased so that I don't do my regular nightly binge of a 1lb bag of choclate chip cookies...
Next step is ordering some supplements and some creatine so I can start utilizing the weight room at the Firestation here on site at the airport during lunch and moving to 6 small day meals intead of 2 large ones.
End goal? 40 years old, under 10% body fat and 19" biceps!!!

Here's an old pic of me at around 290 back in 2001  |
Sounds like you're on the right track so far Mike! Just curious, what other supplements do you plan on purchasing? Definitely stay away from those sweets! Not just candy, but sugared sodas and drinks too!
If you get under 10% body fat with 19" biceps I'll take you to dinner! You can quote me on that and save it!
