Chef has an all-or-nothing type personality.  To recap he received a health scare about 4 weeks ago and has been doing extensive fasting and exercise ever since.  Went cold turkey off the booze. 

He is like the person I know when I met him!  His personality has remarkably improved to say the least;  he's lost about 35 lb so far, is not snoring and actually is great to be around.

He says he feels so much better right now but the 3-mile forced marches every other day are killer!  Lol

I am trying to support him by exercising with him and fasting with him,  although not as extreme.

He is bound and determined to go kayaking and I have never done this sport before so this should be interesting.  Actually neither has he.

I hope I can keep up as Chef has a competitive streak!
