It's always been me (A Declaration)

Looking back in the day when I was a college athlete, in the best shape of my life, I feel frustrated at the things that have went wrong since. Going from a solid 200lbs to a not so solid 256- and now 246, I blamed many things and people. I never verbally attacked anyone, because when all was said and done I knew it was always me. My friends - for all the beer they "made" me drink. My wife for ordering all the "bad food." But in the end I choose to parkate in it all. It was me. Just like I chose to let myself go, I have chosen to get better. I have great support from friends, wife, and you fantastic people on here. In a world full of excuses to not become the man I want to be, I have looked around at my great life, fantastic life, and noticed it was my attitude and my outlook that stopped me from being the best me possible. I have always appreciated life and the people around me, but now, it is even better. No blaming, because it is just me. My choices, my eating habits, my journey. I love the support you all bring. This is a great support system.

I am going to get back to where I want to be. You all will too. Let's do this.
