Day 1

This isn't my first day one. In fact, if your like me, there have been more day one's than I can count. But today, I'm realizing that fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son! Over the past couple of years, I've let my weight get up to 315lbs. I drink hard liquor every night, and I can barely hold on to the good things that I have.

I have a wonderful fiancée that I love very much. She loves me and she loves my daughter. In fact, if it weren't for my daughter, she'd of gotten rid of me long ago. I drink too much, I eat too much, and that's about it. I have a great job.. perfect woman, perfect daughter, yet I can't seem to do what I need to do to keep them. So that is where I start with this blog.... it's a concept that I've had for several years, but it's time to pull out all the stops!

I'm going to make some simple commitments. There's no way that I can look at my life and see the perfection where I want to be. So I'm going to do Just Five Things. Five things each day. Five things each week. Five things each month. Five things each year. And five things in my lifetime. That's it!

They will change as I go. And hopefully, as I check them each off, I will replace them with something more challenging.

My goals.. today? I want to lose 100lbs. I want to be in control of my alcohol consumption. I want my daughter and fiancée to be proud of me. So the hardest part I've had so far, is documenting this for others to hold me to the fire!

Here I go.... with Just Five Things!
