Earlier in the year, I simply got tired of being someone who I wasn’t.  My wardrobe was literally growing, having replaced my  outgrown apparel with XXL clothing.  My health seemed to be deteriorating as well: shortness of breath, chest pains, etc.  I had to make a choice and stand up for myself.   I joined a gym, fell in love with cycling, reduced my caloric intake and took charge of my life.  The picture below captures the peak of my weight literally 1 year ago to the present day me.  I feel super.  I feel healthier.  As a wise man once said, “Your health is your wealth.” I couldn’t agree more.
