The Journey Begins......

So it begins. My name is Kevin and I am a 35-year old married father of a beautiful 7-yr old little girl. I have been Diabetic since the age of 6, and about 7 1/2 years ago I quit smoking for the 3rd and final time and in the process put on a tonne of weight. I will not make any excuses here as it is my fault that the weight went on and I have done very little to get it off.

That changes now. I have already started on a weight loss program that I can actually do, which is very rare for Diabetics as we cannot do a traditional diet plan. Luckily about 6-months ago I started on an Insulin Pump which offers me freedom like I have never had before.

I have already lost just over 8 pounds and as it stands right now I weigh 240 1/2 pounds.

I am going to take you along on my journey with me to if nothing else, make you laugh a little and maybe you can all offer me some encouragement along the way, because I know I am going to need it.

My work out plan commences soon and that will be my next post.

The Canadian Minebuster ain't got nothing on me, because this is going to be a roller-coaster of a journey.
