Introduction

@channel PREBLAST — DARK TOWER — Tuesday June 29 @ 5:15 am – DAY TWO
The Journey Continues. The Blueprints week of fun tour. On April 3 I weighed 252.6lbs  and had finally had enough. I decided that I needed help with my weight loss journey and that day was day one. On that day I wrote down a goal to be under 220 lbs by July 1. This morning I stepped on the scale and it read 219.4.
So tomorrow we celebrate like its my birthday with a bountiful feast… of exercises at the Dark Tower. We will run some (mostly on pavement) but we will also be working as many muscle groups as we can. No Coupons just grit and a desire to get better! HC in the thread and we will see you by the light of the tower.

Circle of Trust

This is my weight loss testimonial. My Doctor has been telling me for 5 years that I need to lose weight. Finally last November he said if I don’t do something I would need to go on several medicines. I asked for a couple months…

I spent the winter working my ass off. My first 6 pack, my first luck seven, EC’s 3 days a week, rucking dozens of miles.  I was a workout machine. But I was not losing weight. No matter how hard I worked out I couldn’t out King my Queen.

Finally I realized I needed to ask for help. So I went to a doctor, she put me on some medicine and things really started taking off. You see my weight loss story is not one of perseverance, guys who show up in the gloom have that covered. It is about knowing when to ask for help.

Asking for help can be one of the toughest things a man as to do, but it could be one of the most important. Whether its help with weight loss, depression, parenting, your M, adulting whatever. Sometimes you just canter figure it out on your own. You don’t have to ask an expert. Just ask a friend, a workout buddy. They may not know how help but they can help you find what you need.

 

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
