A recluse to your own detriment...

"You're a recluse to your own detriment..."

 

As much as I want to deny it, to push it out of my mind, I have a feeling that he is right. And trust me, I hate to admit that my older brother is right, but here I am, saying it. You are right. That's the last time I will say that out loud, you can believe that.

Okay, so here is my blog. I want to try something different. You all are my loved ones, the ones that have kept me laughing and strong throughout many years. In some cases, you are the ones who give me looks of concern when you've seen me in the past few years...

Yup, I've seen them, they were noted, and then cataloged under "Max, you're starting to scare them".

Hey...I've been too much to give up living, but insanity is repeating something that doesn't work over and over again so this time, as I battle my inner vices, I'm calling on you all to help me. Cheer me on, to celebrate with me, and to give me the extra push that I need for when I want to quit. The last time I was determined, I lost 30 pounds in a month. Yup, I was shocked too, then I gained weight and gave up.

Sucks, don't it? Now, don't expect to see me crying up in this thing, I still don't do that, but some things might get real. Some things might make you laugh and if you TRULY know me, you'll know that it might get a bit TMI up in here. Can you handle it?

Please do not share this with your friends. I'm still weird about privacy and stuff but I am willing to open my life up for you all. So...

Are you ready to take this ride with me? It won't be easy. I might get a little cranky for when my body is tired and I know that I need to go on my walk or to do my boxing, etc. At least you all missed out on the sugar cleansing. I am proud to say that now, I only have 2 teaspoons of sugar in my cup of coffee and that's it. Now I can do something like eat a teaspoon of something sweet and then walk away. But that took a while and if it wasn't for Scott and his endless supply of sugarless gum, I wouldn't have made it.

Okay, this is my first blog post so I will end it with...

I am more than a number on a scale...But that number on the scale will help me live a long and healthy life, so I will use it to help me meet my goal.

What's my goal, you ask? I'm going to do that tomorrow. I am still not sure of all of them, but when I show them to you, feel free to offer some suggestions on how to meet them as well as suggestions on others that I might be missing.

You all are filled with vital information, it's time that I call upon that. Oh...One goal that I DO have in mind is to publish a blog once a day. If I start to lag, feel free to jab me, annoy me, text me, or even send up smoke signals until I do.

This is going to be hard and by "this" I am referring to writing this blog. But...Maybe it is that missing link that I need to keep me going.

Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!

Max
