Today marks another milestone. I am under 300 pounds! This is the first time since my last big weight loss around 2012. Good bye forever 300s, I hope to never see you again!
A lot of progress since September, but not even half way to my goal. I am attempting to get to the weight I was when I was in the best shape of my life in my early 20s in my first tour in the Army. Quite ambitious, but going for it!
Around 2012 I attempted to get back into the military to finish out my last five years and get a retirement. I was 285 lbs. at the time and met military standards. 285 will be my next target milestone.
Side-note: I was stupid and got out with 15 years in, should have just stayed and retired, but I wanted to focus on my career at Intel Corporation instead, and I seemed to be on a good path until me and 11,999 others parted ways one day. Wrong place, wrong time, but I’ll save that story for another day.
