Ya Gotta Be 21+
I’ve gained a few pounds, but lost a few inches. But what’s more important than inches and scales and protein bars and whey powders is having the right mind set to say: no matter what else happens, it’s all supposed to happen.

20 Dollar Bills
And now, with a new gig starting Monday, my partner’s hand in mine, a new lease on 2020, I can go a little more confident into Week 21. Part of a physical weight loss journey is minding your mental health just as well.

Lucky Number 13
52 weeks to put on 50lbs. 13 weeks to take off 40 of them. I don’t miss Doritos. Much.
