Day One: Once Upon a Time...

My journey back to "healthy" starts today.


Some people may not know this about me, but I used to be a professional athlete. From my own personal experience, I can tell you that it is quite a huge career change to become a writer. Not at all in the mental challenges, but very much so in the physical requirements. These two pictures of myself tell the story, along with my current weight. I used to play beach volleyball and indoor volleyball at 200-220 pounds.


I do not post this to make a point of weight being tied to health. It isn't, it is just a convenient measuring tool! I make this post because my lifestyle is what has changed and my weight is a by-product of that. I will be sharing with anyone interested a multitude of adjustments that I make or have made on this endeavor. So, stay tuned 🙂

My one and only goal is to share with you my journey back to feeling healthier. On my journey back to playing a sport I still love. Albeit at a much more fun and recreational level...


My first goals:

Improve my office setup.

Be more active (8000 Steps or equivalent a day)

Improve my nutrition

Lower my weight below 270 lbs
