Everything changed, when…

I started Dantrium capsules on May 13, 2017, and my walking has never been the same; my trot vastly improved. The difference was like night and day. Before the pills, I never knew what it was like to experience relaxed leg muscles – the spasticity was gone. For the first time in my fifty-year life … Continue reading Everything changed, when… →

My rock bottom

I reached my bottom after Christmas with my weight. I am ashamed to admit that I hit my heaviest weight. I couldn’t see my feet while standing up, my belly was fifty (50) inches in diameter, and I couldn’t walk far without getting winded to the point where it took me almost thirty minutes to … Continue reading My rock bottom →

Progress

I am well on my way. I started right after Christmas. I didn’t plan to begin a weight loss journey; it just happened. I am on a lot of medications. One for my Cerebral Palsy and two for Discoid Lupus; one helps me walk better, and the other two keep my skin from breaking out … Continue reading Progress →

I am turning back the clock

I have been doing this health kick since Christmas break. I never planned it; it took a life of its own. I had gained a lot of weight a few months before. I hate to admit this, but I let myself get out of control. As I gain weight, I cannot move well, and thus … Continue reading I am turning back the clock →

A new page.

I was at my heaviest again after Christmas 240lbs. I am only 5’4”. Actually, I am under that 5’3.5” now that I am older. I was feeling every pound of the weight. My hips and knees ached daily. I was out of breath just moving a little bit. I have osteoarthritis and asthma, so those … Continue reading A new page. →

It’s time to start taking care of me…

I gained all the weight back these past few months. I was back at my heaviest. I am a short guy, so this is not a good situation for my health. I have lost most of what I regained, but I have decided that I am going to take care of myself and finally lose … Continue reading It’s time to start taking care of me… →

A rude awaking

Yesterday, I had an awakening on my health. I am not young (nor do I consider myself old). I am a 58 years old man. I am obese and physically out of physical shape. I have Cerebral Palsy which after many years of impact walking has resulted with osteoarthritis in my hips, lower-back and my … Continue reading A rude awaking →

This lock-down

This lock-down is taking its toll on me and I need to express myself. I have been working from home since April 1st, 2020. Before then, I was off work due to a terrible cold and with the Covid-19 virus event happening, I was told to stay home. I am at high-risk with pre-existing conditions. … Continue reading This lock-down →

Busy, busy

I am on the bus and I am writing... what else is new. LOL. I started a new drug on the weekend and my face, nose and mouth are almost cleared of sores. I had gained 4lbs, but I have since lost them. I am back at 210lbs. I am at the last notch of … Continue reading Busy, busy →

I am working on it

I have lost fourteen pounds since Christmas. It isn't as awesome as it seems. I lost eight pounds in the first two weeks, and then I plateaued for over a month. My brother was in town a little over a week ago and he commented on my weight gain (my heaviest weight ever; shamelessly to … Continue reading I am working on it →
