Normally I do not air my personal side on here; but it is time for a change in my life. You will notice I posted two new pictures on my Facebook page. The first is Philippians 4:13 that reflects the spiritual side of my change. Through my faith in God and a lot of prayer I will make changes in my life. The second depicts a Start to this journey. I start today a couple ounces under 350 pounds and trending towards diabetes and cholesterol issues. Ever since my back injury in January 2005 I have leaned on it as a crutch for why I am fat and out of shape. No more! Yes I live with pain every moment of every day and I will have to tailor my change to not injuring myself; but my size and dwindling muscles contribute to that pain. I can not let this defeat me for it is an excuse not a reason. I also am probably in some state of depression associated with and contributing to this spiraling demise. I use the injury as a a way to bask in self pity. Well damn it I am finished with this phase of my life. I want to be more a part of my childrens lives and improve my live with my bride of 21+ years. My lovely Wife said something a little while back about how I have been strong enough to kick my 20 year cigarette habit (9 years on 1/2/15) and and my Coke (the soda) habit (almost 2 years ago) so why cant I make a change here? She is right! So with Gods grace, a lot of prayer, will power, my Ninja blender, Thrive by Le-Vel, my family and friends it is time to change my life. I am putting my business out here on FB because I am a very competitive and proud man and now that I have laid it all out for the world to see this in itself will be a huge motivation for me to stick with it. I will check back in periodically and let all know how I am doing.
