Macro, Micro, and Meta-Mucil
There is actually a “Method” behind the madness…
If you’ve been reading my blog recently you know where I’m coming from:
333-335 lbs at my heaviest,
not healthy in any sense of the term,
and certainly not fit!
But I’ve not really talked very much about where I’m going.
And I’ve not talked very much about how I’m getting there.
Oh, I will… I definitely will. Watch for future posts on specific techniques.
For now, so you have some context in which to place this post you are reading, I have to very briefly give you a broad overview of what is going on as I make this journey to Health & Fitness.

No, Virginia, I wasn’t always a “big guy”
I became a big guy because as the years have passed, I have not used my body as much as I used to do when I was younger.

Some people are blessed with awesome genes like my friend Ragen Chastain who is incredibly fit, an amazing dancer, a marathon runner, a blogger and a spokesperson for the H.A.E.S. movement (Health at Every Size)
She is out on the end of the spectrum where “fit and fat” live happily in the same body.
