This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag. He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing.
Love you Ben. 🙏🏼

🚨 Weigh in 4 🚨
Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress:
Before ##FrankWalks : 383 pounds
Weigh in 1: 373 pounds
Weigh in 2: 352 pounds
Weigh in 3: 343 pounds
Here are the results from weigh in 4:
◦340 pounds: Frank has lost 43 pounds since we started walking (128 straight days)
◦Average step count: 10K minimum by end of walk (used to be by end of day)
◦Diet: Incremental improvements continue, no set plan just Frank vs Frank. Examples: less soda, smaller food orders, less junk food / snacking, more BodyArmor water - this is the biggest challenge
◦Physical changes: Frank’s mobility, flexibility, endurance, and energy continue to improve daily.
◦Sugar levels remain in the green zone. Last year at this time his A1C was at 9.2 it is now down to 7.5
◦Frank can now fit into 3XL jerseys for the first time in 20+ years. Stairs are also becoming less of a burden for him. For example, he said entering the ring at RNR 23 was easy unlike the past
Thank you to Tank’s Army and beyond for the relentless support. Frank is trying to show the world that anyone can change their health and habits with consistency and incremental improvements rather than extreme unsustainable action.
Frank is down 43 pounds since we started walking and the formula has been simple: we walk everyday and don’t stop until Frank hits 10k steps + incremental improvements on Frank’s diet. The secret sauce is NO DAYS OFF.
And as Frank always says, “If I can do it, you can do it.”
I think my favorite part of weigh in day is how quickly Frank moves on from the good news. He is like Kobe Bryant, in a constant state of “Job’s not finished”.
Off to Chicago this evening.
Anudder weigh in in the books.
I deleted all social media starting Jan 1. However, after the despicable performance by @Delta today, I was left no choice but to make a return. I connect in Seattle, exit row, 20C, ISLE. Get to the flight and am met with my NEW seat, 19E, MIDDLE. Someone PLEASE explain!!!!
