You Get As Many Chances As You Want...

I've been overweight my whole life. Now, at the age of 30, I plan to start a new life.

I grew up in a household that never ate a healthy meal and probably had never heard of the word 'exercise'. It's a shame too, because I am a decent athlete. I played high school football and all kinds of sports. I currently play ice hockey three times a week and my career is as an Assistant Golf Professional at a private golf course. I am tired of looking in the mirror and seeing “me”. Because it's NOT me. Underneath all the excess weight is the real me and I am going to find him. I don't want to be overweight anymore and I plan on doing something about it!

I hope that this blog, which will follow my progress, will inspire you in some way. Maybe you want to change your life too and you just need a friend to go through it with. Or maybe you are doing the right things but recently just need a little bit of extra motivation. 

Oh, and the title of this entry, "You Get As Many Chances As You Want..."  is one of the most important lessons I have learned in life.  If you fail at something, you can stand up, dust yourself off and try again.  So don't give up!

I plan to have numerous updates with pictures, videos, food logs and just my silly thoughts along the way. So, come join me and let's reach our expectations! (Yeah, I know that's a bit corny! :P )
