Where to begin? It all started 41 years ago in a hospital in Poughkeepsie, New York. That might be a little too far back. I'm a husband to a lovely of wife and a father to a precious little eight year girl. We also own a bagle, a beagle/bassett hound, called Shiloh who is about four. I'm a lieutenant with the New York City Fire Department going on 11 years now. A big chunk of my time currently is spent on my online classes through Liberty University. I am completing my Psychology degree with the plan of moving on to Nyack Theological Seminary after. These are my plans, but I am fully aware of Who makes the final plans. Which brings us to the most important thing... I am also a Jesus Freak! Yes, a God fearing servant to a God who does not get tired of my mess ups! My wife and I started on the journey to healthy living around 3 months ago. It is surely a process which is not easy. I grew up in a typical Puerto Rican home with huge dinners of rice, beans and a variety of fried meats. Although I was always conscious of my eating habits and choices, I never worried about it. It all came to a crashing halt last year when I was diagnosed with severe hypertension. When I say severe, I mean 260/110, possible stroke severe. This journey begins with a fork in the road. I can live a life controlled by medication and side effects which will eventually kill me anyway or I can choose to change my lifestyle and live the life that was planned for us to live. Is there really an option?
