The Mission

Starting Monday October 26, 2009. I will embark on a journey that i have taken many times before, but this time i hope to go the full distance and then some. For those who know me, I'm a big guy and even in high school when i wasn't that big i was still considered "big". Starting Monday, i plan on going down the road of diet and exercise, and getting stronger both mentally and physically. This is not going to be easy and i know that, like i said "i have been down this road before", but i feel with the help of family and friends. i truly believe i can make this happen, and i know that either way I'm going to take something good out of this.

Right now my weight is 360. My goal right now is to get to 280lbs, and i think that is a fair goal. As far as i can remember in 12Th grade i was 230lbs, and I'm a little taller and older now so adding 50lbs to that is reasonable. If and when i reach that goal, who knows i may want to go further and most likely will. This is not going to be a short term thing, this will be a life changing journey for me, one that I'm glad to bring in much needed support and advice from my friends and family. I will be updating my blog very often with day-to-day journal entries and photo blog updates. I'm going to fully open up my life to all of you and trust in you. Through this process we will be able to track my progress and see change as it happens. I will be leaving to live in Annapolis, Maryland for the month of November, i will be on my own and with full access to a gym and slightly warmer weather i will be able to get a healthy start.

I want to thank all of you before i get started. And for those in the past that have helped(you know who you are) thank you. Lets begin.
