Richard Zylks named April Fittest Employee of the Month

I am honored and somewhat surprised to be named April?s fittest employee.† In December of 2012 I had my 60^th†birthday and did little in the way of physical activity outside of some yard work.† At the beginning of the year I decided to make a genuine effort to lose some weight by eating healthier and getting more exercise.† It wasn?t really a New Year?s resolution,† it just seemed like a good time to start. ††I try to limit my daily calorie intake to around 1200 to 1500 calories and I work out for 1 hour every afternoon after work on a treadmill (combination of jogging and brisk walking).† Since January 2^nd†(had to wait until New Year?s Day football games were over), I have lost a total of 37 pounds and dropped two pants? sizes.† If I can do this at the age of 60, anyone should be able to make a few simple changes in their lifestyle to be healthier.† Thanks for the recognition, it is greatly appreciated.
