Introduction Text In 2006, I weighed 230 pounds, smoked, and never exercised. I joined Spark, lost almost 50 pounds, and became a runner. In 2009, I finished the NYC Marathon at about 185 pounds. In 2010, I tried to train for NY again but ended up with severe tibial stress reactions that sidelined me for several months, during which I took up cycling and swimming and became a triathlete. In March of this year I was hovering around 193 pounds - offseason weight gain - when I lost my job and started a stint on my couch. Suddenly, I was over 200 lbs again, even though I had all the time in the world to train! Hhhmmmph. Guess it's time to get back in control, right? I have a few short races and fun rides planned to close out the year, and I intend to complete my first Half Iron (Timberman 70.3) in August of 2013. I love to exercise - though I lack consistency - but I love to eat even more! My first goals include getting more consistent activity including weight training (which I neglect) and controlling my diet by favoring protein and healthy fats over carbohydrates.
