Obligatory "Before" Pictures

Before we move on to part three of the Chronicles, I thought I might share a few pictures of big me. Always helps to have some context. Now, by some standards, I'm not "huge." But rest assured, I was unhealthy.

This was me on July 4th of last year: Notice the puffy face and big gut...

Here's another summer one of me getting sprayed with the hose. The water was cold. Big gut is kind of the theme for these "before" photos.

And here we are again with the big head. At Starbucks eating cookies of all things! Hey... I loves me the cookies.

So yeah...I was probably average according to good ole boy Southern standards. However, I was on high blood pressure medicine. I got sick a couple times a year. I also got winded doing...well...just about anything.

I will post more pictures as I work through my story so you can see the progress. By the by, I am literally one pound away from my goal weight as of this writing!
