The Journey

Welcome to the blog!! Jacob and I even though we are separated by about 900 miles(yes I looked it up) wanted to be able to keep each other accountable on this journey so we decided to start this blog. I think this is a good way for us and you to be able to see our progress and to be able to help out. We will be updating this blog weekly and give updates on our journey.

Well I guess it is time for my journey. Well I entered college weighing about 240 and was in pretty good shape. Well then I quit WKU's Track and Field team and pretty much stopped working out all together. Over the next 3-4 years I would put on over 50 pounds. Recently someone told me that if you lose your health you lose your ministry. This kind of sunk in and 3 weeks ago I started trying to get back in shape. So far I have lost about 8 pounds, which is pretty good. Also later this week i will be starting Insanity.

Check back with us.

A New Beginning!

OK so I wanted to go ahead and get a leg up on Brent about posting on here!  It seems that he is better about remembering to do this then I am.  I hope that we can encourage each other and maybe someone else!

I have lost 21 lbs over the last 9 weeks and I am now in my 6th week of training for a 5k.  This is not been an easy journey for me but I am now getting to a place where it is becoming a regular routine.  Now that we have this new blog where we can keep each other accountable it will be easier! Also I have dropped some inches off my waist along with the weight!  Here is to you and me Brent!
