The First Mr. Chip

The First Mr. Chip I’ve been through what should’ve taken me out and I’m still here. Now it’s time to take my life back, because God didn’t call me to stay stuck.

Just landed and had another first, at least a first in a while. Not only did I NOT need a belt extender on the way back, but I was able to finally comply with “please stow your tray tables” from the PA 😳🤩🤣☠️

Well my flight was delayed for about three hours, but we finally boarded. Getting on the plane, I always ask for a belt extender and did it again today.

To my utter SHOCK when I went to add it, I noticed that it was close and it would likely buckle without the extender. NOT ONLY did it buckle, but I had extra space on the belt!! 😱😱😱

Video post coming soon …

For years I’ve fought with type 2 diabetes. Even with meds not seeing readings under 250, including fasting. Going up to over 350 when I ate even a sensible meal. Then last week happened, one week ago today I started Mounjaro.

Total shock, for the first time in memory, I went under 100 today. To say my mind is blown is a massive understatement and I feel spectacular 💯

The guy you're looking at has a story. The guy you are looking at didn’t just wake up here.

There was a time I felt strong, disciplined, locked in. And then life hit and it hit hard. There were moments that changed everything, moments that took more out of me than I ever expected. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Somewhere along the way, I stopped fighting the way I used to. I got stuck.

But here’s the truth, I shouldn’t even be here. God carried me through things that should have taken me out. Through setbacks, through hospital stays, through moments that could have ended a whole lot differently. When I look back, there’s no other explanation but grace. I’m still standing, but I know I haven’t been living at the level I’m capable of.

And I’m done with that, because God didn’t call me to stay stuck.

This Saturday, I’m making a decision to take my life back. This Saturday I’ll be starting Mounjaro as part of that process, but more than anything, this is about discipline, consistency and refusing to stay where I’ve been. No more excuses. No more settling.

I’m launching a new page called “Built Different” because that’s exactly what this is about. Living different. Thinking different. Choosing different. And I’ll be documenting the journey. The wins, the struggles and everything in between, good or bad.
If you’ve ever felt stuck… this might be for you too.
Saturday, it begins.
