Brand New You
Being 6’5” and 280 pounds would be great if I were a football player, but I’m not. And although I’ve lost over 35 pounds, I’m still not satisfied. That’s why I’m kicking my weight loss routine into high gear as I shed the remaining unwanted pounds.
Following Drew Manning’s transformation to help people go from being fat to fit is truly inspiring....

I’m deactivating Netflix soon since I won’t have a lot of time to utilize it over the next few months.

Atonement
Sundown begins the Day of Atonement or the day of repentance, in which we are to atone for our sins. This is considered to be the holiest and most solemn day of the year on which you fast and do no work until sundown tomorrow. That’s a small price to pay for all the things I’ve done.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall...
