This site started out as my motorcycle blog. Things have changed a bit..I still post randomly about motorcycle related stuff but mostly this has turned into a journal for me to document my weight loss.
I've been overweight for a really long time and in June 2010 I decided enough was enough and made several sweeping changes. I now workout 5 days a week with a pretty intense weightlifting routine as well as cardio. I've also cut out all soda, fast food, and generally everything that was unhealthy for me. It's been a struggle. But to date I've lost 21lbs and I have more energy and now really enjoy getting out and doing active things.
My day job is a Linux Systems Administrator with a Large North American Linux Distributor. I've been there for almost 5 years and really enjoy what I do. I live in North Carolina but grew up in Mississippi. I moved to NC after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Most of my family is still in MS and while I miss them I absolutely *love* living in NC.
