    Man, I haven’t been feeling great lately. Clothes are getting tighter (bought a new pair of jeans at size I always buy and they were too tight), I notice my energy and motivation is really low. To top it all off, I stepped on the scale tonight in a T-shirt and athletic shorts and I am the heaviest I have been. That was my “Enough is Enough”. I want to be a good example to my family. So I consider this Day One, as I started tracking today. Wish me luck.

    I have been donating platelets at the Red Cross for a couple of years. I was not allowed to donate a couple of times because my blood pressure was too high. Went to see the doc. Gave me some meds but he also told me "You won't need the meds if you just lose some weight." I hate taking medications when there are better alternatives.

    I think I've just reached it. I'm tired of being tired, feeling sluggish and feeling terrible about my physical appearance. I've lost weight in the past but life has a way of getting in the way of things sometimes. I'm about 35 pounds heavier than I should be...and about 15 pounds away from my last "enough is enough" point.

    Here's to our success buddy!

    My enough is enough stems from the embarrassment of knowing that I have been successful with transforming my life and letting it all go to waste over a 3-4 year period. During that time I avoided photos and had to buy big clothes again. At 41, I just decided that I’m not ready to be “old” and out of shape. Many people are healthy into their 40s, 50s and beyond. I want that to be my story. Been over two months strong plant-based with occasional cheese, six weeks of running and physical activity, and a few belt loops down too.
