A few months ago I had the photo below taken whilst testing some range of motion in my back.

The headline: There’s not a lot of motion…

The subtext: …but there is a lot of me. How did I let myself get here?

This picture, along with a collapse of my ability to run, were the kick in the backside I needed. This lead me to take getting healthy much more seriously.

Lifting weights is great fun, and I really wish I’d done it sooner. But I wasn’t going to get healthy if all I was doing was lifting weights.

So I’m posting this as a ‘before’ picture. This will continue to serve as motivation to start looking at all the levers I can pull to get healthy.

We’ll see what the ‘after’ pictures look like.
