My wife went to every cancer treatment my mother in law had, so she never had to be alone. Now with Baby Alvin she canโ€™t go to every single one and my mother in law is about to have another round of treatment. So my wife made a sign up thing for family and friends to volunteer. 2 hours. Every single spot is taken ๐Ÿ’™ Cancer sucks.

What flying used to mean: avoiding it at all cost, asking awkwardly for a seatbelt extender, that pit of dread settling in my stomach, spilling into the seat next to me, always flying alone, thinking about canceling the whole trip What flying means now: little man meeting the pilots, no extender needed, excited for the destination, fitting into one seat, flying as a family Never give up.

I hit rock bottom, waking up hungover & 400lbs+ getting an error on my scale. In 2022 I flew for the 1st time since covid Had to ask for a seat belt extender High blood pressure single, alone & lonely Pre diabetes Couldn't get my weight Sleep apnea Binge eating daily Resting heart rate 117 Day drinking every weekend Low fertility Battling credit card debt ($60k+) Today, Iโ€™m driving my wife & six month old to his first Easter egg hunt, Easter church tomorrow at my mother in laws, the church my wife grew up in, in rural GA. Next week my parents are visiting and Im taking a few days off to spend with all of them. Iโ€™m not done yet. Iโ€™ve got a long way to go. But No more error No more extender No more high blood pressure No more pre diabetes No more single, alone & lonely No more credit card debt No more low fertility No more drinking or binge eating Life is good, God is great ๐Ÿ™

Baby Alvin doesnโ€™t know it but that pillow is made from my late grandfathers shirt, Grandpa Alvin, the most meaningful gift my wife got me for Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ (ok it might have been for Baby Alvin and not me ๐Ÿ˜‚ we have one at home thatโ€™s made out of my wifeโ€™s late grandfathers as well, so Baby Alvin will have both his grandpas looking over him in his nursery as he grows up ๐Ÿ™)

I have a full time job. (Accounting!) I am a dad! (Baby Alvin is almost 7 months old!) I donโ€™t spend time arguing online. I listen more than I talk. I donโ€™t need bait to pay my bills. I believe in hard work. I donโ€™t believe online politics & culture war is useful. I am optimistic about the future. I have student loans. I didn't go to a fancy school. I celebrate progress, not perfection. I didn't inherit anything. I am building this life from the ground up. You can do it. I can do it. We can do it.

Happy weigh in Wednesday yโ€™all ๐Ÿค  Weight: 256.6lbs down -143lbs weight loss (Per the doctors yesterday as reported in the doctors visit summary๐Ÿ‘‡) Blood pressure: 130/82 Height: 69 inches ๐Ÿ‘€Nice๐Ÿ‘€ Unfortunately since Baby Alvin was born, work travel & holidays - Iโ€™ve gained 14lbs ๐Ÿ˜… not the end of the world, but Iโ€™ve also missed a few workouts (ok maybe more than a few). Time to bring back the weigh in Wednesdayโ€™s for a while, not during travel weeks but at least 1 a month to make sure Iโ€™m on track, normally theyโ€™ll be at home weigh ins, not the doctors visit report. But for the first one a doctorโ€™s visit summary is better, Iโ€™ll post that whenever I have it. Happy new year yโ€™all ๐Ÿ™
