Intro: · Veterans Getting Fit AF

Intro:

Well I guess better late than never as I just reread the group instructions lol.

My intro to fitness started in high-school, wrestling. In 2001 I joined as Air Defense. My life of gaining weight has begun. In 2016 I retired like many of you I assume broken, both mentally and physically. A domestic op Kananaskis G8 summit and 2008 to 2009, nine month tour in Afghanistan as a UAV operator.

Fast forward to 2018 I'm 380ish lbs and in the ER with heartattack symptoms, sever panic attack was all the DR could figure it out to be.

Knowing now whatvi believe to be true is my body was screaming for me to wake up and stop killing myself, you know the slow suicide via food and poor life choices!

From February 2018 I choose me, myself and I than my kids and now Ex. I decided that day February 13th 2018 I would never be this way again. Fast forward to today im 160 lbs lighter, I started BJJ this past Wednesday and im sore as F! Haha.

I've been to Dimensions twice, plant medicine is key to my growth, that includes weed, psilocybin and ayahuasca. I used the education fund and took yin yoga and yoga nidra which both have aided in my overall health.

Why I joined, is because like minded folks are hard to find, ones willing to face the man/woman in the mirror and have that discussion. And I have a fit for life mentality and that mindset doesn't bold well with many.

Anyways I thinks thats enough for mow
