Welcome to MartyLangen.me — a personal space where I’ll be documenting my life, goals, interests, and the experiences that shape who I am. I’m not building this website to attract thousands of visitors or to go viral. In fact, I fully expect (and am perfectly okay with) very few people ever stumbling across these posts.
This space exists for a much more meaningful reason: to hold myself accountable, to reflect on my journey, and to share a little bit of who I am with anyone who happens to drop by.
Who I Am
My name is Marty, and at the heart of my life is my beautiful wife Michelle and our two incredible boys — Zach (9) and Nate (7). They are my motivation, my joy, and the reason I strive to become the best version of myself.
Why This Website Exists
The idea behind MartyLangen.me is simple: I wanted a dedicated corner of the internet where I can document the things that matter most to me. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to lose track of progress, memories, and milestones. Writing things down helps me slow down, reflect, and stay grounded.
This website is my journal — one I’m choosing to make public, not for attention, but for consistency, growth, and honesty with myself.
What I’ll Be Sharing
There are several areas of my life I plan to chronicle here:
1. Health & Lifestyle
I recently began a weight-loss journey with the goal of shedding 30–50 lbs. My approach will combine ketogenic eating with intermittent fasting. This site will help me track my progress, share what’s working (and what’s not), and stay accountable.
2. Family & Friends
Moments with the people I care about are the ones worth remembering. Expect stories, reflections, celebrations, and the everyday chaos that comes with raising two energetic boys.
3. Food & Dining
I love good food — whether I’m grilling in the backyard, trying a new restaurant, or experimenting with keto-friendly recipes. I’ll share the wins, the fails, and everything in between.
4. Special Moments & Holidays
From Christmas mornings to small Saturday adventures, I want a record of the memories that make life meaningful.
5. Futures Trading
I actively trade the futures market and plan to document my learning curve, results, strategies, and the mental game behind it all.
6. Travel & Adventures
Whenever we get the chance to explore something new — a road trip, a vacation, or even just a local discovery — I’ll bring those experiences here.
7. Maybe Even Politics
We’ll see where this goes. If I feel like weighing in on the world, I might. If not, I won’t force it.
The Big Picture
This site isn’t about traffic or popularity. It’s about showing up for myself. It’s about creating a record of my life — the struggles, the victories, the routines, the lessons, and the gratitude for the people who matter most.
If you happen to be here reading along, welcome. And if I’m the only one who ever reads these posts, that’s perfectly fine too.
Here’s to growth, honesty, and the journey ahead.
