Sat/Sun 8/6 - 8/7 - Taking Hayden Home

Drove Hayden back to Nat's in Great Falls after his summer internship and living with us for part of that time (July 4th weekend until Aug 5th). It was such a gift having him with us for a couple of weeks and the weekends before that when he was living at UNCC. Really going to miss him. Taryn LOVED having him here and she's going to miss him a lot too "where's my Haden?" is a phrase I'm sure we'll hear for a while.

Got a chance to see Gregg and Elena on Satureday too. We visited at the house for a bit, then we had lunch at Reston Kabob. Good time together and great gyro's! Sad it was so little time, but Gregg and Elena had to work in the afternoon. We left early Sunday morning to get back home to Charlotte. Much of the drive was spent talking about how/when we can move closer to family. My heart is full for seeing the kids, but so empty with the distance now. It's hard and I'm finally understaning how my Mom has probably felt for so many years.

A little about my journey...

Hi, my name is Kip. On July 24th, 2011 I made a decision to change my life. At the time I weighed 250 pounds, was sedentary, my blood pressure was 170/110 and I was already on a max dose of BP medication to control it. I was well on my way to turning 40 and having a heart attack. This blog is about what I’m currently doing to improve my health and my journey to get my life and health back under control to get to where I am 9 months after starting (Apr 2012) - which is 170 lean pounds, no blood pressure meds and a new outlook on life.

I decided to start this blog for 2 reasons. First, it's a record where I can look back to see what’s working and what isn’t so I can make improvements. Second, a lot of people have asked me what I've done to transform my body, so hopefully it can help someone else glean some helpful information they can incorporate into their lives to make positive impactful changes. So, here it is. Since I'm just starting this blog 9 months in, I'll post a few blogs to recap in more detail where I was and how I got here. Going forward I'll be posting workouts and training/diet/nutrition information I think others can benefit from. I didn’t re-invent the wheel, so I’ll be referencing materials I use along the way. Below there's a picture taken shortly after a body fat test in May 2013.
