Decision

After leaving the Marine Corps and Cherry Point behind, we settled into our new lives as a civilian family. We spent Christmas with my family in Wisconsin before moving to Florida where my wife’s family is. We settled on Florida, because my wife could get her job back easily enough with her old job, and in 2008 at the time the economy was starting to tank, jobs were still a little plentiful in Florida. We also had a baby and we would need help watching him, not that my family couldn’t, while we worked and I went to school. We did join a gym, but later let that lapse because it became too costly to use, and with me working third shift, and school, plus my wife’s schedule, we didn’t really have time to do it.

As the years went by, our time for physical activity went down also. Our lives just became busy with work, school and generally lack of funds to really try a gym out. There were times in the New Year in years past to vow to start again but like most resolutions, those petered out because of lack of commitment or time. Yet something changed when we moved in with my in-laws to get back onto our feet financially.

Sitting on the couch one Saturday in March, I was playing around on my iPhone with some of the apps and I happen to click on the Health App. Deciding to check it out a little bit, I started to enter my information that I had, and download the apps to my phone. They looked interesting enough, and sure enough after checking it out a little bit, I decided to give them a try, to see if they really worked. So I went to scale and weighed myself in which read 245 pounds which for me was shocking, because though I may not have been hugely muscular, I generally wasn’t bulky but seeing that was a wakeup call.

So after downloading the apps; Lose it!, Nike Training, Nike Running, and Nike+Fuel I set to about to begin the process of actually dieting and losing the weight that I had put on for years. I knew it would be a tough and long journey, but I knew my Marine Corps discipline would be able to help me get back in shape.
