Of all things…

Why does the world need a new blog? So many thousands of people stand up and say “Listen to me, I have something to say.” Why do I think I’m unique?

Because I am unique and I think I can help people in my situation. This is going to be a blog about weight loss, primarily. But there are so many other factors in my life that set me apart from others on the same journey. I am six feet tall. I live in Interior Alaska. I have suffered great loss and found great strength. In the past two years I have lost 70 lbs.

This blog still needs a lot of work. I intend to spend the next few days putting together the design and aesthetics of Long Bones. I am going to start tomorrow doing weekly weigh-ins and posting about my weight-loss tips and strategies. I’ll post recipes that I love that are also healthy and stories of living in the far north. The most exciting thing is starting tomorrow I’m joining a “Biggest Loser” style competition at my gym, so I’m going to be writing about that as well.
