Introduction and why?

My name Is Dave Ulibarri I am a 39 year old father, husband, firefighter, personal trainer and Beachbody Coach. 6 months ago I was in the best shape of my life. I constantly had people approaching me on the details of what I did to achieve that level of fitness. All I had to say was the cliche general answers like diet, exercise etc. What I hated was that I had no specific information due to the fact I didn't keep a daily chronicle of the journey. So I decided to change all that to better my knowledge on nutrition, exercise, highs, lows, disappointments, and achievements. Over the holiday season I put on 25 pounds for this learning experiment. I chose 25 pounds because the majority of  "New Years Resolutions" are in the 15-25 pound range. This doesn't mean that the information won't be beneficial to those who need to lose more. I have no idea how long this will take. How this will work is I will post daily my workout and duration, what I ate that day etc. I want to show weight loss can be achieved without living in the gym and eating like Calista Flockhart. You will see I rarely exercise for over an hour a day. I try to eat well, but lunch on the fly happens and I hit the McDonalds too. Anyhoo join me on this journey I hope we all can learn something!
