SWIPE ➡️➡️➡️➡️ On May 12, 2025, Emily posted some pictures from a wedding we attended. In the past, I would have never let her post those - it was disgusting and shameful! I now know it was subconsciously intentional (is that a thing?!) on my part because I needed to be held accountable, even if it was “forced”. Those pictures were the moment I hit a version of rock bottom that a lot of people probably never saw on the outside - I’ve always been good at masking it - but I felt it every single day. I was over 280 pounds, carrying over 30% body fat, exhausted mentally and physically, and honestly just not living anywhere close to the standard I knew I was capable of. The hardest part wasn’t the weight itself - it was knowing I was settling. Settling for average habits, average discipline, average effort - things I vehemently preached against to teams I had been tasked with leading - and becoming somebody I didn’t fully recognize anymore. Then on May 26th, I made a decision. Not to tweak a few things. Not to “try harder.”
Not to wait until Monday. I decided to change EVERYTHING - all at once. Sugar? Gone.
Starbucks runs? Gone.
Fast food for breakfast? Gone.
Breads, pastas, junk food? Gone. No gradual transition. No cheat-weekend mindset. I was done negotiating with myself. And the results came fast. The weight started falling off over the course of just a couple months, but more importantly, I started regaining something I hadn’t felt in a long time: Control. Clarity. Momentum. Then in July of 2025, things shifted into another gear entirely. That’s when the gym stopped being “something I was doing” and became part of who I am. Over the last ten months, I may have missed 7-8 total days in the gym. That’s it. The callouses on my hands tell the story. The physical transformation tells the story. But honestly, the mental transformation has been even bigger. This journey became about a lot more than me. I have two girls watching me every day: Avery and Mila. Avery has been my best buddy through thick and thin for the last seven years. She’s seen the highs, the lows, the stress, the rebuilding, and now she’s seeing what consistency and discipline look like in real time (she actually made this kick ass video!). That means something to me! And Mila… well, Mila is almost four years old, which means life is basically a combination of laughter, chaos, exhaustion, negotiations with a tiny terrorist, and somehow finding crayons in places crayons should never exist. Let me tell ya, having a toddler at this stage of life hits differently! You realize your energy matters. Your patience matters. Your health matters. I want to be fully present for every phase of their lives - not watching from the sidelines tired, unhealthy, and mentally drained. I wanted to set a standard for them. Not perfection.
Not vanity. 
A standard. A standard that says when life gets hard, we don’t fold. We adapt. We fight. We grow. And the crazy part is… this entire transformation happened during one of the most uncertain periods of my life. I unexpectedly found myself out of work. Ultimately, I made one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made: moving across the country, temporarily away from my family until they join me, for what has literally turned out to be the opportunity of a lifetime. The old version of me would have absolutely used that as an excuse. Stress? Excuse.
Unemployment? Excuse.
Travel? Excuse.
Being away from family? Excuse. But this time was different. I never got derailed once. Not once. And I know people have seen me go through health kicks before. I get that. But life is different this time because for the first time ever, I truly have everything dialed in: Proper nutrition.
Proper supplementation.
Proper sleep.
A disciplined fitness schedule.
Consistency.
Routine.
Focus. No more guessing. No more extremes. No more starting and stopping. (Continued below)

I’ve never seen a team get absolutely destroyed and embarrassed by a team and still talk so much 💩 quite like the feminine orange do.

First time during all of this chaos in college football that a feeling of “hopelessness” has ever raced through my mind. I am beyond baffled how anybody could justify allowing him to play. The NCAA should immediately suspend him indefinitely, and appeal at the highest court.
QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted his injunction against the NCAA.

Wouldn’t it be something if @AaronDonald97 decided he had one more year in the tank and teams up with @Flash_Garrett ?!?!

“We have the best of the worst” is certainly a bold strategy. Hey @GregSankey, I’ve got a newsflash for ya, buddy: The B1G’s worst team from less than 3 years ago just WON THE NATTY, you 🤡 !!!
Greg Sankey on the strength of the SEC: "If you look at the entirety of our league, we are by far the most competitive, strongest league -- by far." "The depth of this league stands alone."

The Soft Ex Champions (SEC) did not have a monopoly on paying players. They do have a monopoly on being little, crying b*tches about the new landscape in college football.

NEW: Georgia's Kirby Smart on the SEC breaking away if national rules can't be agreed upon: "I've said this for a long time to our president, I've been a huge advocate that if we can't find rules that everybody plays by, then we should play on our own. I'm not afraid of that. I'm not afraid to break away and say that our conference is strong enough to go out and play." (h/t @PeteNakos, @Brett_McMurphy) on3.com/news/georgia-kirby-s…

Just RELENTLESS consistency. And I could not have done this without Emily. She gave me unwavering and unconditional love and support - the kind I honestly had never really experienced in a relationship before. Through every challenge, every stressful moment, every transition, every doubt, she stayed steady. Believed in me when I needed it most. Supported the vision before it fully existed. That kind of support changes a person. The physical results have been incredible: From over 280 pounds to 205.
From over 30% body fat to 10.9%. I literally have abs - visible abs - for the first time in my life! But the numbers honestly aren’t even the biggest win anymore. The biggest win is the PEACE. The anxiety that used to constantly sit in the background of my mind is gone. The depressive thoughts that used to creep in are gone. In their place is confidence, focus, energy, happiness, and an overwhelming sense of pride - not because of how I look, but because I know I fucking EARNED this! This journey taught me something simple but powerful: If you truly commit to yourself - FULLY COMMIT - and stop making excuses, your entire life can change. Not just your body. 
Your mind.
Your confidence.
Your career.
Your relationships.
Your future. Everything. #FitOver50 #GirlDad #MAKEITHAPPEN

There’s a whole bunch of people, probably half the country, who for years would swear there was extraterrestrial life out there who will now say it’s complete 🐂 💩 because Trump confirms it. They’ll say it’s all a false flag, a distraction, blah, blah, blah. Just watch. Trust me. It’s coming
BREAKING: A speech has reportedly been prepared for President Trump confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life, according to sources close to the president.
Community note
The claim originates from Leading Report, a fake news site founded by the post's author that promotes misinformation. The White House denied reports of such a speech. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_R… pbs.org/newshour/natio… mediabiasfactcheck.com/leading-report…
