About

This site is intended to be an accountability tool of sorts. This is probably the most embarrassing thing I have ever done, making this public, but I am 5'11'and 296.2 pounds. My greatest fear is that I will never see my grandchildren or even see my children grow up... I will die of a heart attack the way I am currently living, there is no doubt about it.  Now is the time to make the choice to roll over and die (literally) or do something about it.  This is my 'something.'

The inspiration for my blog comes from 344pounds.com.  I have to give props to Tyler for giving me the courage to move forward. 

As I have said I am the lucky father of 2 wonderful girls and the husband to the "bestest" wife in the world.  They bring me more joy (and occasional frustration) than any man should deserve, let a lone me!

This is why I need to get healthy.  If I don't they will suffer without me and I can't have that.  I have done enough in my life to cause pain to my family and my lack of self discipline will not be one of them.

Life can be a very um... interesting thing. There are so many days where I think the gremlins have infested my day to day life and so totally destroyed all chances of happiness that I fall into despair and blasé acceptance of my unhealthy life. It is time to change this. Join me in celebrating this new lease on life!
