MNABOY'S RAILS TO HEALTH

60 year old terminally married father of three adult children and blessed grandfather of two girls 4and 6 and one boy. As a child with asthma my parents did everything they could to get me to gain and maintain weight. In college I developed a small set of lovehandles that ROTC boot camp wore off. Army and Graduate School allowed me to return to my home town in reasonable shape. I gained weight but maintained a very active life,hiking,skiing, canoeing, jogging, camping etc and then in 2000 life ...

Army and Graduate School allowed me to return to my home town in reasonable shape. I gained weight but maintained a very active life,hiking,skiing, canoeing, jogging, camping etc and then in 2000 life became a challenge that I am just now trying to deal with. 375 pounds, two replaced knees and back surgery and I am now ready to get on track. My fondest hobby is railroading.

My Goals:
It is my goal to reach 255 lbs by March 2010 and to exercise six days a week.

My Program:
I am working on this and all suggestions would be appreciated. Restricting my diet to 2000 calories a day and exercising as much as I can as I rehab my back.

Other Information:
I always thought I would retire and my wife and I would hike and camp, sans Scouts, just the two of us, and I would write an article about the railroads in my home county. Physically we will have to work to be able to hike flat ground!

I have been singing "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" all day since you posted that in the huddle this morning! It's a good song to repeat, though...

I hear you Rusty. My problem is that I love WHAT I do, it's who I have to do it for and the atmosphere they foster that gets me down most days. Just once before I die or retire, whichever comes first, I would like to work for someone who appreciates my talents and work ethics for what they are! In the meantime, I am so glad to have my SparkFriends, who are always here to tell me that I AM worth the effort to go on, and to be a better person, both physically and ethically!

the elip is great for me to get my cardio in, when I'm at the gym i start out on it for min of 15 min to get warmed then go to the weight machines then if i have time i do the stepper for few more min for more cardio.
i have to play with the weight machines still to fig out the seating and what the best weight for me but I'm getting there.
