Hey Brittany- GREAT job! Keep it up =) It seems a long road, but once you get used to how your body reacts to this new routine it becomes easier!

Again, Keep it up! Everything in health is that much better.

I don't know what state you live in but I can tell you that down here in the south it is pretty embarrassing seeing how overweight and obese the majority of our FF's & EMT's are. I work out 4-5 days a week and try to do cardio at least that many days a week. I also try to cook pretty healthy meals here in hopes it will rub off on crew. I have to work out to do be able to do my job I don't see how people that are truely out of shape can function and be productive team members in our line of work. I think many of us need to focus more on our health so we can enjoy long careers and retirement.

I totally agree with the pole dancing. I also like using the weight bench at the station. To add alittle extra to the everyday tasks around the station I put my air pack on. I also will utilize some of the tools as weights.

I currently meet with a high intensity trainer 3 times a week (surprisingly not as expensive as I thought it would be) and I try to drag my booty to the gym 2-3 times a week for cardio. So far I have dropped 4" off my waist and 30lbs. We are also trying to get a district wide "biggest loser" competition going, in response to the increase in LODD due to health.
