I was a two sport athlete in high school but opted out of sports in college. Instead I focused on academics, choir, and my new hobby of medieval reenactment. By the end of college, I was at my heaviest: 275 lbs. After getting a job in a lab I lost a bit of weight from being on my feet all day. I lost more weight leading up to my wedding but put it back on soon afterward. After a few years of exercising and not exercising, I got a weight bench and started looking at different workout routines. That's when I discovered Nerd Fitness, I focused in on my goals, got into paleo and here I am.
