Day Seventy-Five - Help Me, Help Others!

The more I think about this journey the more excited I get.  The more I have people ask me about it or tell me they are reading my blog, the more it encourages me to move forward.  I can't express how awesome it is to get a text or Facebook comment from someone saying that they've been inspired by this blog.  Now I'll be honest.  This doesn't happen every day.  But the times it has, allows me to understand that this isn't just for me.  There are people who need to read this for encouragement (and those people probably aren't even the people you and I have in mind).  I just want this to be an encouragement to as many people as possible.  It is helping me so much to write each day and know that I'm being held accountable to my goal.  

So here is where I'm at.  I know that I'm a minnow in a great big ocean of blogs.  I'm sure there are other people doing exactly what I'm doing (and probably a better job of it).  I don't want that to stop me from encouraging as many people as possible.  There are a few steps I'm going to start taking to expand my reach, and I would love it if everyone would help me.  If you can like my posts on Facebook and share them to your friends that would be awesome.  It you can retweet my tweets and pin my posts.  I don't care if it is just telling the check out clerk at Kroger (if you don't have a Kroger you are missing out!) about the fat guy who is losing weight and blogging about it.  Please just help me get the word out about this blog.  I know there are people with goals our there that need accountability and encouragement.  What better way to do so than through sharing my journey to losing my butter half.

Calorie intake was good today.  Left over homemade pizza for dinner tonight (I'm amazed that I'm full from two and a half pieces) and a great workout on the bike.
