The bad news is that my group of friends who have had heart attacks in their mid/late 40s has grown from an exclusive club to a smallish conference. Also, if I’m being honest, I know I’m on the mailing list for said conference. Statistically, it’s a matter of time.

With this in mind, I’ve been trying out a cross-training / kettlebells gym that’s rock-throwing distance from my house. It’s much more expensive than Gold’s Gym, but then again I’ve been a member at Gold’s Gym for years and I’m still a fat guy. Not sure if this is the answer, but I definitely need to change things up.

My weight on January 1, 2016. Very little of it is muscle.
