"You cannot outrun the fork"
Hello, my name is Harry.
Please, feel free to friend me, follow me, or email me. I will reply to any and everyone. I'm just like you, here to improve my health and fitness. I'm not perfect but I try real hard to make daily improvements in myself. I'm the kind of person who sees the glass as half full.
I'm 66 years old, survived a major heart attack, rattle snake bite, and countless other accidents.

Hello, my name is Harry.
Please, feel free to friend me, follow me, or email me. I will reply to any and everyone. I'm just like you, here to improve my health and fitness. I'm not perfect but I try real hard to make daily improvements in myself. I'm the kind of person who sees the glass as half full.
I'm 66 years old, survived a major heart attack, rattle snake bite, and countless other accidents.
I use a Polar Vantage M Heart Rate Monitor, Polar H10 chest strap, and the Android "Polar Flow" App to keep track of my heart rate during my workouts. I count my food calories using SPARKPeople.
I have discovered that my journey is not about weight loss.
My journey is about fat loss.
I am LOSING FAT with a modified Paleo diet, meaning NO ADDED SUGAR.
NO ADDED SUGAR means no NO ADDED SUGAR. No juices, no sodas, no sweeteners, and avoiding all foods in the center isles at the food stores. It means avoiding all processed foods. It means eating healthy fats, nuts, fruits, and veggies.
I exercise to build strength. As I grow stronger, I am adding muscle that adds weight.
Adding muscle is a good thing that helps to burn fat. As I become more fit, fat is replaced with muscle.
Therefore the real enemy is fat, NOT WEIGHT.
I love to draw cartoons, hang glide, hike, bike, motorcycle, and bird watch.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading my short bio.
Welcome to SPARKPeople and the never ending journey.
