Lace Up: Leave and Wander

At 525 pounds, tying his shoes could feel like a workout.Michael Clegg did not begin with a perfect plan or a dramatic promise. He began with one small step.In Lace Up: Leave and Wander, Michael shares an honest and humorous journey through major weight loss, walking, caregiving, faith, being Deaf, and the invisible burdens people carry.What began as short neighborhood walks grew into long hikes, open-road adventures, quirky towns, camping trips, and more than 240 pounds lost. Along the way, Michael learned that lasting change is not built through shame, perfection, or one heroic day.It is built by returning.One walk.One meal.One boundary.One honest choice at a time.Rooted in lived experience and shaped by his love of Torah, this book is for anyone who feels tired, discouraged, unseen, or overwhelmed by the road ahead.You do not need to know the whole road.You only need enough courage for the next step.Lace up. Let go of what you can. Keep moving. And leave a little room to wander.
