Did you make it through #Lent ?

For the first time in years I made it through Lent without cheating on what I gave to God on Ash Wednesday.  I’m one of those people that has given up soda, sweet tea, chocolate, fast food, fried food.  I’ve also been one of those people that said I’m not giving up anything, instead I’m adding prayer, reading the Bible, or exercise for the season of Lent.  And usually by week 2 I’ve stopped…

Busy…but are we really?

My excuse for I don’t know how many years now has always been, “I’m too busy!”  That was my biggest excuse when it came to eating right, working out, and taking care of myself spiritually.  I look now and see yes I was busy, but I was mostly busy making excuses.  In all reality I really had plenty of time, I just wasted it checking my phone, watching television, or something else mostly…

Turn Around…

Last October I had to get a physical for the Board of Ordained Ministry as part of the ordination interviews.  At first I was more upset with the cost as where I went my insurance did not fully cover it.  Two days later I received the results and I was shocked.  I weighed more than I ever have and to be honest I avoided scales.  I knew that my lifestyle of fast foods, fried foods, two-liters of…

A few months ago I met with a friend from church Adam for lunch.  He told me that he got a flyer about F3 launching at Oak Grove Elementary.  I have seen several friends post about F3 over the past few months, and I looked at the website, but was unsure about just showing up on my own.  But having Adam and being able to go to a new start I thought what the heck, let me try it. At the time I had…

A lot has changed since last Easter

Easter changes   Today I decided to take a selfie and see how it matched up with last year’s Easter selfie.  On the left is the selfie from today and on the right is from last Easter.  And I can see a lot of changes in myself externally.  I no longer have a beard.  I have let my hair grow out.  And the biggest difference is that the picture on the left I weighed about 290 and now I weigh 239!…

Changes…

I originally posted this picture in December with my change in weight.  The difference in the two pictures was about 15 pounds or so.  I’m really not sure what the most I weighed, but I was very unhealthy.  In November I made a decision to start making changes.  Thanks to a friend who pushed me by daily challenging me on FitBit along with others encouraging me, I started to change my daily life.…

A year or so later

It has been over a year since I last blogged…I’m back “wearing the 4-5 like Jordan”…. There has been many reasons why I haven’t blogged.  I have been going through a lot over the past two or so years and have not had it in me to blog like I used to a few years ago. In 2016, I plan to get back to blogging and sharing…

2015: DO > TALK

As we get ready for 2014 to end and 2015 to begin I want to share this video from a friend of mine LeVar Johnson.   I grew up playing baseball in Evans, GA and went to school with LeVar.  LeVar attended and played football at Duke University.

The last few years I’ve been talking, talking, talking….about losing weight, having a better budget, getting back to blogging and writing more, yet it was…
