Hi. I'm a 53 year old guy living in rural northern New Hampshire near the White Mountains. We moved here about 6 years ago, kids in tow, from a suburban community in southern NH, to an old (non-working) dairy farm and never looked back. I grew up near New York City (Westchester county). I work from home, building web applications using the Ruby on Rails programming language.

Lose the last few pounds and gain muscle mass. My goal for 2011 is to actually see my abs in the mirror :)

I track my nutrition daily on Sparkpeople. For fitness, I'm doing a P90X and Insanity hybrid program. I also enjoy skiing in the winter; hiking and garden work other seasons.

At 50 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and after surgery, radiation, and hormone treatments it now seems to be gone (or at least very dormant). The trauma opened my eyes to my health and realized I was quite overweight, although that'd never been my self image. I realized I'd gained an average of one pound a year since college. In 2010, thanks to Sparkpeople and P90X, I lost an average of one pound a week through September, and getting fit.

I took my wife and 4 teenage kids to hike the Grand Canyon in June 2010, for my 25th wedding anniversary. A photo of us placed in a recent P90X photo contest on Facebook!
