In the beginning...

Have you ever listened to late night infomercials about the magical fitness pills they have? Me too, and I was not buying in. Of the many possible vices I may have, Vanity is NOT one of them. I have never worried about my weight just as long as it did not affect my daily life or employment. With all of my education in medicine and science, I decided to put the info to practice. What shall follow is a chronological rant of my quest to become healthier. Healthier, NOT thinner or stronger or anything else. I will draw from sources that are science / evidence based. I will give opinion on various fitness related topics. But how should I measure such health? I guess I will have to give you numbers. In fact I have already begun so let me give you some vital statistics.

As of June 17th
Six foot one inch. 150 KG, smoked my last cigarette. Pant size (tight) 46" Waist 58"
