If your reading this chances are you already know me, but if by chance you do not allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Michael Miles, I am 23 years old and i live in the great state of Idaho. I am married (sorry ladies). For the better part of my life i have loved all things video games. Unfortunately the gamers lifestyle is a calorie filled nightmare with a possibility of solitude at best.
Upon meeting my wife in 2007 my gaming habit was at its peak. I had five of my friends living with me and a non-stop LAN going at all times of the day. The five of us also all worked at Gamestop at the time so as you could imagine it was a cocktail of awesome in that basement. I also was working at a local pizza joint and my best friend was working at McDonald's (so you know we had the hookup). After countless sleepless nights and calorie filled days we were on top of the world literally, In our group alone we had the #1 team in Fear xb360 (one of our members were featured in xbox magazine) we also had an unbeatable team in Rainbow 6: Vegas.
And the list goes on and on and on.
What wasn't so great was i started to develop an irregular heartbeat, which i found out later was caused by my absurd sugar and caffeine intake, and that was only one of many ailments to come. I quickly realized that i was grotesquely overweight. I weighed in at the north of 355 pounds. It was a wonder what Casi (my then girlfriend at the time) saw in me.
Note: the picture above was me at my largest weight 355+ pounds just two months before I decided to change my life.
If you haven't noticed by now, my punctuation and sentence structuring skills are horrid. But i feel that what i am writing is important enough to suffer through. And as you've probably guessed I barely passed my English courses in high school.
To skip ahead a year and some months here is me now:
At a resting weight of 252 pounds, dropped 5 pant sizes and two shirt sizes.Now your probably wondering what sorcery, what cheat code i entered to lose over 100 pounds. Well friends it wasn't any sort of magic or cosmic event that led me down this path. Nothing short of willpower and a little know how.
This blog will be about my journey from large to medium. It will contain Recipes, workout advice, food pron, and well whatever i feel like including.
