Ok,

I do avoid as much white flower and refined processed grains as possible. I eat almost no white bread and what sandwich bread I do use is the pumpernickel and low cal type grains that are usually around 60-70 cal per slice. I admit that every two weeks or so I do have a great big fat juicey hamburger but not any more often than that. I kind of justify that on the calorie shift that Clemson Tiger mentioned above.

No, I have no health problems. I can pass a modified flight phsyical for over 40 any day of the week including labs, CXR, and EKGs.

As far as my goals...

I am in the Infantry and another combat tour is intevitable so being able to do that well at my advanced age is my goal (and more).

We are held to the Army APFT and the EIB standards in my unit as a minimum.

I also want to be able to bench 300, squat 300, and military press 200.

A running goal is a 10K at a 7 minute mile pace.

I swim 1000 meters in 20 minutes without fins ( and not pushing off) but Id lke to do that faster too.

Id need to get my underwaters out to 50 meters.

Good performence on obstacle course or confidence course.

By the way, I weighed myself today and Im 2lb less than last week so hopefully the downward trend has started.
