Weight

I got on three scales at the gym today and they all showed me at around 178 lbs. Wow! I used to be 5'8" 158 lbs. before I joined the military. They trained us to eat a lot and eat fast. I put on a lot of size on the military, mainly because I was out in the field all day carrying 40-70 lb. packs on my back, lifting heavy things, carrying other soldiers on my back, and just being active all day. I ate like crazy but worked it all off. Now I work in an office, and realized the same eating habits are making me fat. I was slim most of my life mainly because I ate slow. Now I eat so fast without physical activity all day. I realized the only thing that changed was my eating habits. Well the scales shocked me, I've been buffing up but I noticed some of it is on the waist. So my plan is to work out more often, or eat less. Or maybe a little bit of both...

That picture of me holding the sword was taken a couple of weeks before my 34th birthday at 154 lbs. I'm 35 now.
