OK, I did it today. I did the ritual that I have done so many time in my life. Today, though, it was different. Same ritual, for a different reason, though, and it felt better too!
If you are like me, and have fought a weight problem for many years (I’ve been fighting [...]
I moved to the Philippines 8 years ago. When I moved here I weighed 430 pounds (yes, 430, that’s not a typo).
Six and a half years ago I had a stroke. I nearly died.
After having the stroke, I maintained a weight of around 340 pounds, plus or minus. So, my normal weight, [...]
Here it is March already, 2008 is already flying by too quickly. This year, though, I have to say, I have gotten into the right habits, health-wise.
In 2007, I put my health aside, and spent a lot of time working on business related projects. I gained some weight in the process – weight that I [...]
Remember the other day, I said that I wanted to start increasing my exercise regiment? Well, I really got a big boost yesterday. Feyma and I took a visiting friend to a place called “ON Farm” about 50 miles or so from where we live. A new friend owns the place, and we decided to [...]

Over recent years, some of it told by this blog, I have had periods where I have done a really good job of controlling my diet. In turn, this means keeping my blood glucose levels in check. For me, I have already accepted that I am overweight – I’m fat. I will probably always be [...]
I just got back from a good walk. It seems my routine now is to get up and work for about 2 hours, getting my work done before my employees come in. I need to finish my part of the job so that they can do theirs! Then, when my work is [...]
I have written in my blog before how much I enjoy walking. Another type of exercise that I do regularly and enjoy is swimming. When I do these activities, I find that I am able to clear my head of mundane day to day things, and think about the things that really are [...]
