Day 515. 209.5 pounds lost. And so it begins. I enter the last week of quite possibly the most miserable job I’ve ever had. Five more days and I am choosing to walk away. It took much thought to come to this decision, and I’m not taking it lightly. There is obviously a bit of […]

Day 510. 209 pounds lost. I have all kinds of goals that I work on simultaneously as I also maneuver this weight loss goal. One of them was a financial goal. I figured out what I needed to get where I wanted to go, and because of this, I took on a new position back […]

Day 497. 207.5 pounds lost. There is a guy in my life that plays a significant role in my journey that I need to take time to share with all of you.  I struggle with the fact that maybe I never talked about him before for selfish reasons. Did I want him all to myself? […]

Day 496. 207 pounds lost. I’m kind of a sucker for big comfy couches. I bought a lovely big sofa for myself when I moved to Minnesota. I didn’t necessarily need a new one, but it was a way to usher in the new home purchase. Why not right? I found myself quickly attached to […]

Day 475. 206 pounds lost. I found the month of March and most of April to be quiet. I had withdrawn from many of my normal social media activities; bored with Facebook and Instagram I retreated to the comfort of my home and spent quite a bit of time reading and doing things around the […]

Day 447. 204 pounds lost. There’s this movie called I Can Only Imagine. When I first saw the preview back in November I knew it was going to be an agonizing 4-month wait. It had everything; hope, joy, faith, sorrow and a father who was miserable and took it out on his child. I had one […]

Day 433. 203 pounds lost. The last week was overwhelming for me but exciting at the same time. During my interview with CrossFit HQ, I was asked a straightforward question, “How is your life now, versus when you started.” Although every answer was swimming around in my head, I couldn’t spit anything out. I sat […]

Day 412. 198.5 lbs lost. I think there is a good chance I might hit that initial 200 lb goal this week. I’m going to be about 40-50 days behind schedule, but I’m okay with that. Hell, when I started I only knew I would hit it, I didn’t know the day. LOL. I’m also […]

A dear friend of mine posted this comment on my Facebook in response to the last blog post. Let me first say that I find this friend more valuable than I can express. In this journey and especially when I write, I need this kind of stuff. Sounded like a breeze to incorporate all that […]

Day 400. 194.5 pounds lost. I work on these goal books every year and have for the past five years. It took several years of working on these things before I realized how critical they were but also how to apply them correctly. You don’t merely write down goals and throw them out into the […]
