The First 70 Pounds is Gone!

I have to admit as a 52 year old guy, I was afraid it was too late for me to make this much progress - even with all the hard work.

Part of what kept me from embarking on my health journey for so long was not feeling bad. I never did have energy issues ... wasn’t on meds ... and hadn’t experienced any major health concerns or scares. I just wanted more and believed God had more for me to do and that I needed to put myself in a position - physically - that I could be used on a whole new level.

WOW ... it’s amazing when you clean out your cardiovascular system and shed the weight of an entire child how much MORE energy you feel. I’m not measuring by the scale in the end so I don’t know exactly, but I’m probably only halfway to goal and it will likely take another year or longer (since I’m not restricting anything I imagine I’ll just stop shedding fat when my body reaches its ideal). That’s fine with me ... This is a life thing. And with my blood pressure, cholesterol, pulse, and every other key measurement at levels I had in my twenties, Lord willing that’s a good long time.

The best part is - it’s been easier than anything I’ve ever done (and believe me, I’ve done a LOT of diets focused on my weight rather than my real health). I haven’t counted a calorie, tracked protein, carbs or sugar or anything! It's simple ... I’m just putting real, plant based fuel in my body - as much as I want. (oh ... and making myself sleep more than the old 4 hrs/night that I used to)

So many things God has for me to do still and so much time I want to spend with Jody, the kids, grand kids and greats ... I’m thankful He’s empowering my physical transformation so I can!
