This is the scrapbook of my life and journey from morbidly obese and depressed to finding health and happiness. I have lost 120 pounds, run eight marathons, completed two Ironmans, and gone from depressed recluse to motivational speaker. Read more about me and this blog here. Or start from the beginning.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Calling all Internets! Let&amp;#8217;s lose weight and make some money. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve started a new Diet Bet game that will start this Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dietbet.com/games/15767" target="_blank"&gt;You can sign up here!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Just click through and click &amp;#8220;Join this Game.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What it is: &lt;/strong&gt;Diet Bet is a social weight loss community based on a group of folks putting their money in the pot and committing to losing 4% of their body weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dietbet.com/how-it-works" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here for all the details on how it works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Winning: &lt;/strong&gt;Everyone who loses 4% of their body weight splits the pot. Profit!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s really simple and it&amp;#8217;s going to be a lot of fun. Sign up by Friday if you want in!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bendoeslife.tumblr.com/post/50914514855</link><guid>http://bendoeslife.tumblr.com/post/50914514855</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 11:29:47 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>27th birthday. Fun facts!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;This is my sixth birthday on Tumblr. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I always wake up early on birthday mornings. Squeeze the most out of the day. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;French toast and bacon were had. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For my 16th birthday, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. so excited that I drove over to my friend Preston&amp;#8217;s house, woke him up, took him to breakfast and made him play tennis with me before the sun came up. Then we went to school.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For my 17th birthday, I skipped school and played computer games all day. Sorry mom.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sherman is snoring with his head resting on my foot right now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;BIRTHDAYYYY&lt;/li&gt;

Since she flew here from snowy Calgary, the first order of business was beers on a sunny patio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, this means wedding extravaganza has officially begun. Blogging might take a backseat this week.&lt;/p&gt;

He’s been asleep since we brought him home at 7.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, at 8:45, the humans are going to sleep, too. &lt;/p&gt;
