From the Start...

Have you ever gone through a time in your life where your priorities were so distorted that you let normally important things slowly drift into a state of neglect? Well, if you are anything like me, your answer is a resounding YES! That is where I find my self right now. I have put my job, my music and my newly formed family (all of which are good things) ahead of anything else in my life. As a result, I have been neglecting and ignoring what has been one of the HUGE the side-effect of that.

I stepped onto a scale at a friends house and when it revealed its result, I was shocked! How could I let myself go this far and not do anything to stop it (myself)? I felt a huge load of guilt and shame as I stepped off of the scale and looked at myself in the mirror. I knew at that exact moment, it was time to not only get proactive about my weight, but to become focused and intentional in my efforts to reverse the cycle that I put into place.

So, if you are still reading, this is my journal! This is where I will write to be accountable to myself. I will share in my success and fight through my failures. This will be my history book!
