The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With One Step


I am not the type of person that goes out and tries to make the world look at himself. I am loud, don't get me wrong, but I have come to the realization that I just want to blend into the background. This blog is just my way of keeping track of what is going on in my world and more specifically how I am coming in reaching my goals in life. At one time in my life I had a million goals, but I found myself settling in life. I settled on a job and from there my passion for goals kind of faded. I became content with my own little world. I put on a lot of weight and spent most of my time sleeping. With my wife and kids we did a few things, but life mainly consisted of sleeping. I figured out that I needed to change my life; physically, spiritually and financially. I realized that I needed goals to reach for and this is why I am where I am today.
In November of 2007 I started on the financial side. I didn't know about blogging so I didn't keep track of everything. We came up with a budget and started working towards paying off debt. The physical side started in February. This picture shows me at 320 pounds. I started dieting, a little, and then found Crossfit in May. That has been a catalyst for all types of change. When I came in for the first time I think I did like 5 pushups 10 situps and some squats and it felt like it nearly killed me.
Anyway I thought I would give a little insight into the Big Fish and if I help anyone that it great, but for right now I am focused soley on myself .
