it’s time

I realize it’s slightly past the New Year, but I am now moved towards change.

I’m one of those guys who just slides thru life, goaless for the most part, and now at the age of 43 it’s time to make some changes. Drastic changes.

I’ve never looked in the mirror and seen a fat guy. Or a failure. But the other day, as I watched myself on a video, for the first time i saw myself as disgusting. I hit the scale, and the arrow pointed towards a whopping 395lbs. Yes…you read it right. 395.

And goal-wise? Well, I never dreamed that at age 43, I would be living paycheck-to-paycheck, drifting from unfulfilling job to unfulfilling job, and not anywhere cloe to realizing what my purpose is.

Purpose. Strong word. We all look for it, but do we all find it?

Over the next 90 days and beyond, I will be focusing on changing my life. My game plan? Lose weight, find a way, anyway, to get paid to do what I love (write), and to live the life that God meant for me to love.

I will document this journey right here. Please enjoy it.
