The Journey...

I started this blog in 2010 under the title "The Fat to Fit Chronicles" to document the training for and completion of my very first half-marathon. My decision to train was the first step on my journey from fat to fit. In my former life I was 319 lbs, depressed, and living a "less than" life.

Over the course of training I discovered a passion for fitness and helping others. So this blog has morphed into something more than just my musings and venting. My hope is that when you leave this blog you have learned something or picked up something valuable to aide you along your own journey.

So mount up, Posse, and let's go from Fat to Fit!!

Angels Within


"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." --Michelangelo


When you look in the mirror do you see the angel? Do you see the beauty that is in you? The power? The hotness? (ha ha) If you can't see it, what's clouding the reflection?

Every time I hit the pavement I hear the chisel. Every time I choose a small portion over a huge plate, I feel the chisel. Chipping away, one small piece at a time. What I'm finding is that the chiseling involves more than my outward appearance.

If you can't see your inner angel when you look in the mirror, then you need to consult with your maker. Do you know your worth? Do you see your beauty? If you can't, ask God to reveal it to you. Ask Him to help you understand your worth. You are worth the investment in yourself. You are worth the time it takes to chisel away at whatever is hiding that beautiful angel.

For anyone who happens upon this blog, I pray that God reveals Himself to you and who YOU are in Him. For anyone who has struggled with weight, I pray that you learn to love and value yourself no matter what size you are right now. Your beauty is not bound by your dress size nor is it faded by your portion size. I pray success for you in every area of your life. In Jesus name. . .Amen.
