2.60 miles. 59 minutes. And I finished. 💪🏾🔥

When my body started telling me it was ready to quit, I put on “Enter Sandman” and kept moving. Sometimes you don’t need to be the fastest person out there—you just need something that reminds you why you started.

For anybody getting back on their health journey: don’t compare today’s version of you to who you used to be. Start where you are. Walk if you have to. Slow down if you need to. Just don’t stop believing that you can become stronger than you were yesterday.

Every mile counts. Every workout counts. Every decision to keep going counts.

We’re not trying to be perfect. We’re trying to get our lives back. 🏃🏾‍♂️🔥

Same man. Different mindset. Different discipline. Different direction. 🔥

The photo on the left is me before I decided I was done watching my life pass me by.

The photo on the right is me TODAY at 404 pounds.

No surgery.
No magic.
No overnight transformation.

Just walking when I didn’t feel like walking.
Lifting when I could’ve made excuses.
Paying attention to what I eat.
Choosing water instead of empty calories.
And getting up every damn day determined to become somebody I haven’t seen in a long time.

I’m still over 400 pounds.

And I’m posting this because somebody needs to understand something:

You do NOT have to wait until you reach your goal weight to be proud of yourself.

I can see the difference.
I can FEEL the difference.
And for the first time in a long time, I’m starting to recognize myself again.

This isn’t my AFTER picture.

This is my “I’M NOT DONE YET” picture. 💪🏾🔥

Save this post.

Because one day I’m coming back to it and 404 pounds is going to feel like a lifetime ago.

WILL IS GETTING HIS LIFE BACK.

2.61 miles. 59 minutes. And I kept moving. 💪🏾

This journey isn’t about being the fastest person out there. It’s about becoming stronger than the person I was yesterday.

A 22:35 pace might not impress everybody—but you know what does? Getting up, putting the work in, and refusing to quit. Every mile is another step toward better health, more endurance, and getting my life back.

If you’re starting your own health journey, don’t worry about somebody else’s pace. Start where you are. Keep moving. Keep showing up. Your progress is YOUR progress. 🏃🏾‍♂️🔥

SEPTEMBER RECAP 💪🏾🔥

September wasn’t about being perfect. It was about getting my life back — one step, one mile and one workout at a time.

The numbers tell the story:

🏋🏾 30 out of 30 days with a workout logged
🔥 76 workout entries
👟 212,984 total steps
🏃🏾 93.2 walking/running miles
⏱️ 1,912 exercise minutes — almost 32 HOURS
🔥 29,179 active calories burned

But some of the numbers I’m most proud of aren’t the biggest ones.

❤️ Average resting heart rate: 71.5 → 69.3 BPM from August to September
🚶🏾 Average walking heart rate: 114.1 → 106.4 BPM
📈 Heart-rate variability: 27.3 → 28.6 ms

That tells me this journey is becoming about more than the scale. I’m building endurance. I’m moving more efficiently. I’m becoming more consistent. And most importantly, I’m proving to myself that I can keep showing up.

There were days I was tired. Days I didn’t feel like doing it. Days when motivation wasn’t there.

But I was there.

30 days.
212,984 steps.
93 miles.
And another month closer to the man I’m working to become.

September, thank you.

October… we’re not slowing down. 🔥

1.03 miles. 112 feet of elevation. 30 minutes of choosing progress. 🔥

Not every workout has to be long to matter.

Today was about getting out there, moving my body, and keeping the momentum going. That’s the part people don’t always see — the small days are what build the big results.

If you’re getting back into your health journey, don’t wait for the “perfect” workout. Don’t wait until you have more time. Use the time you have and do what you can.

One mile still counts.
Thirty minutes still counts.
Showing up still counts.

You don’t have to prove anything to anybody else.

Just keep proving to yourself that you’re not giving up. 💪🏾🔥

Two workouts. One stronger version of me. 🔥

1.30 miles outside.
16 minutes of strength work.
307 calories burned lifting.

Some days the workout is long. Some days it’s short. What matters is that I showed up twice and kept the promise I made to myself.

If you’re getting back into your health journey, don’t think you have to change everything overnight. Start with what you can do today. Walk a little. Lift a little. Move a little more than yesterday.

That’s how the comeback starts.

Consistency doesn’t always look impressive in the moment — but over time, it changes everything.

I’m not chasing perfect.

I’m getting my life back one workout at a time. 💪🏾🔥

These HOKAs have officially crossed their last finish line. 😂👟

I’ve had these shoes for over 4 years, and looking at them now, they’ve definitely earned retirement. They’ve been through walks, workouts, good days, hard days, and plenty of miles.

Sometimes progress isn’t just measured by the number on the scale or the distance on your watch. Sometimes it’s looking at an old pair of shoes and realizing just how much ground you’ve covered.

Thank you for your service, HOKAs. 🫡😂 Time for the next pair and the next chapter.

New shoes. Same mission. 👟🔥

Every mile, every workout, every choice is another step toward the version of myself I’ve been fighting to become. These Adidas aren’t just going in the closet—they’re going to WORK. 💪🏾

I’m learning that a health journey isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up again tomorrow, even when yesterday was hard.

The goal is simple: keep moving forward. One step. One mile. One day at a time. 🏃🏾‍♂️💯

2.01 miles. 256 feet of elevation. 52 minutes of putting in the work. 🔥

Not every workout is about speed. Sometimes the win is simply getting out there, moving your body, and refusing to quit on yourself.

Today I covered another 2 miles, burned 478 calories, and most importantly — I showed up.

If you’re getting back into your health journey, don’t let somebody else’s pace make you feel like your progress doesn’t count. Walk it. Jog it. Take breaks. Start small.

Just keep moving forward.

Every mile is building endurance.
Every workout is building discipline.
Every time you choose yourself, you’re getting closer to the life you want.

Slow progress is still progress — and I’m not stopping. 💪🏾🔥

15 minutes. 302 calories. Another workout in the books. 🚴🏾‍♂️🔥

Some days, the biggest victory is simply getting started.

I didn’t need an hour. I didn’t need a perfect workout. I just needed to get on the bike, move my body, and keep another promise to myself.

If you’re getting back into your health journey, remember this: you don’t have to do everything today. You just have to do something.

15 minutes can become 30.
One workout can become a routine.
One better choice can start changing your life.

Stop waiting until you feel ready. Start where you are, do what you can, and keep building from there.

I’m not trying to change my life overnight.

I’m changing it one workout at a time. 💪🏾🔥

2.41 miles. 54 minutes. Another promise kept to myself. 🔥🏃🏾‍♂️

Some workouts feel easy. Some days you have to fight for every step.

Today wasn’t about being fast. It was about showing up, putting in the work, and finishing what I started.

If you’re getting back into your health journey, remember this: progress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes progress is simply choosing to move when the old version of you would’ve stayed still.

Every walk. Every run. Every workout. Every better decision.

It all adds up.

I’m not chasing perfection — I’m building consistency. And consistency is changing my life. 💪🏾🔥
