Former Couch Potato

As a young man I was very active and stayed fit with virtually no effort, then at 46 I was diagnosed with cancer and lost a kidney.  Over the next few years I gained about 20 pounds and spent too much time driving or sitting at my desk.  I finally decided to go back to the woods for motivation!  Since then I've lost the 20 extra pounds, hiked over a thousand miles, gone back to hunting and have learned to appreciate every day!
