Introduction Text I'm now 63 and retired. I'm in much better shape than when I first joined SparkPeople, due in large part to the free time afforded by retirement. I was unfortunately drawn back in to my job and for a year again grazed from vending machines and pre-packaged meals. Blood pressure, weight and blood chemistry took the brunt of the impact. That situation has been rectified and my cardio regimen has found its way back into my day.

Ultimate goal is to drop 75 pounds. Primarily, this has to be done through healthy living, both through proper eating and regular exercise.

I do an hour of cardio morning, Well, most mornings. Ok, sometimes. A nutritionist told me she's never seen a workout program you couldn't eat your way out of, so I'm eating on the healthy side of the pyramid these days. I'm psyched about making goal and appreciate the encouragement and support.

I'm an army veteran and native of upstate South Carolina. My wife and I live in sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I ride a motorcycle about 11 mounths out of the year and my wife is a bicyclist. I can be reached via e-mail at Ironcutter@aol.com or on Facebook.

The hardest lesson in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn.
