Sitting @ 351 for a total loss of 20 lbs from my peak weight and I have been doing a+ work since I got back from vacation and will be shedding some massive weight over the next month

Last night was a big night for me. A little over 20 years ago I made a decision that at the time I didn't regret but as the years went on I really regretted quitting high school basketball @ the age of 16 after my Soph year in high school. I should have kept playing but I chose to take a different path that nearly destroyed me. It took me nearly 15 years to try and get back off the bad path I was heading down.

So about a month back someone suggested I should join this 3 on 3 men's league and I contemplated for a couple of weeks and finally I said fuck it and I joined. I missed last weeks game due to being in Florida but I showed up last night for the first organized basketball game I have played in 20 years. I was a little concerned about how my body would hold up so when I arrived at the court I did nothing but stretch for 20 minutes. Everyone else just showed up and shot baskets and jumped into the game.

I stepped onto the court and I bricked my first shot then blew a layup. From there I coasted, I scored about 14 points grabbed a ton of rebounds and had a few assists and blocks and my team one by about 10 points. Last night after that game I had an emotional adrenaline high more of that when I sat at the final 2 tables in 2 limit events at the wsop. It felt better than the feeling I got when I first started destroying limit cash games. I feel like I filled a void that I threw away 20 years ago and was surprised at how well I played and I am looking forward to losing more weight, crushing more hoops and putting all of the right shit into my body to make that happen.

Ironically when I was stretching last night before the game I said to myself I wouldnt be surprised if a few of these guys get hurt tonight. One guy I was covering who was the most athletic guy on the court tore his achilles. I think the same happened to another guy who had to be carried off the court. So after the game I stretched for another 30 minutes and today my body feels pretty good.

The weather here will be between 60-70 with clear skies over the next 10 days and be very sunny so I am going to kick off this weather blitz with a mild 2 mile hike today and will probable be hiking as much as I possibly can.

Time to roll!
