As of today, I’m down exactly 65 lbs. from when I started last year.

It’s been a wild ride. I’m taking the week off to reset and relax. Next week I’ll start the next leg of my journey.

I had no idea when I started that it was going to take three years to get to where I hope to be. However, it’s becoming clear to me it is indeed going to take that long.

I am up for the challenge!

It’s been a very rough day. I was hoping to write more about this, but I’m drained. So I guess I’ll just say that today I passed the 60-lbs mark in my journey.

I hope and plan to never return to the guy on the left again. The journey has been hard, but very much worth it.

“A year from now, you will wish you started today.”

I read that quote so many times, and on Jan. 1, 2022, I changed.

Today I crossed the 50-pound mark in my #weightloss journey.

I am unbelievably giddy today. It took me decades to figure it out, but I finally learned what works.

Perhaps most important, I learned how to stop lying to myself.

Instead, I traded my lies for discipline.

Drove four hours today to see #slayer perform on its final tour. It was so worth it, and ended up being the most emotional show I’ve ever seen.

If you’re into this sort of thing, catch it if you can. There won’t be another chance.
