Introduction

I am a physical therapist in the military. I have been married 27 years this year and have 3 children ages 8 to 23.
I am 5'9" and 148#.

Goals and motivation

I have been weight training since Sep 06. Since I never lasted more than 4-6 wks before without injuring myself, my initial goal was to last 3 months (now at 3 years). Now it's body reshaping and mind over body mastery. I ran my half marathon in Aug in celebration of my 50th birthday (2hrs). Since Sep 09, I have gone vegan and dropped almost 20 additional pounds, primarily body fat. My next goal is to maintain my weight over the next year.

WTG, you should be very proud of yourself, and by the way, I saw your age (Race you to Fifty)

Made it 2 weeks without gaining anything. Started running last week. I expect the pounds to really start coming off now. So long as the muscle stays.

I always struggle at the decade marks but finally got below 170, Now at 168 with 8 pounds to go. I think I look more like I did when I was 150 pounds (leaner, more muscle). March 12 was my 6-month anniversary of lifting weights. However, I will be spending 2 weeks in the states (ill dad-in-law) and not have access to a gym. I'm hoping that it will give me a little R&R but I will be able to do enough to at least maintain.
