I am uncomfortable with my weight. Mid life has increased my waist size to where I am not comfortable to discuss. I was always a trim athletic person (never skinny) but always in shape until my forties. I am well aware that exercise has been lacking in my recent routine. I was extremely athletic in my youth. I am disappointed in my lack of control and the toll it has taken on my body. I have a history of heart problems in my family and I know I want to take control of my physical being. I have a wife who adores me and for over 30 years has known my potential. She wants me to be at that potential. For all intense and purposes I want and need to loose 25 lbs. I also want to build my muscle back up to where it was. My wife adores me and me her. Today I start the journey that will help us to work together and achieve my personal goal. I hope this is helpful to other many year married and in love couples.
