Transitioning

I will be sixty in a few months and I will be transitioning to a new lifestyle - retirement. It's a big step that has me thinking. I remember when my dad turned 60. He didn't sixty. I didn't think he was old, although I knew he wasn't young. He died about four years later … Continue reading Transitioning →

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… →

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 →

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 →

A step in the right direction

At my heaviest I was almost 240lbs (109Kg, or 17 stone), that’s not something anyone wants to brag about. I am 5’4” (1.6m) and I am morbidly obese. I wasn’t always so. Up until I was 16 or 17 years old, I was 135 to 140lbs with a 30” waist. I never started putting on … Continue reading A step in the right direction →

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 →

We’re settling in

Well, it's been a little over two weeks since we moved in. We're starting to settle in. I got the boxes all unpacked by the end of the first weekend. I just placed everything where I thought it should go. I am sure I will rearrange some of the items once I figure out what … Continue reading We’re settling in →

I’ve been absent for too long…

Sorry, I have been absent from this site for too long. Things have been hectic. We sold and bought a new condo all within a two-week span. It's both exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I am heading out to a friend's place to help with computer stuff (I used to be in … Continue reading I’ve been absent for too long… →

Well, now it begins…

Monday was different. We're selling our place. It goes up for sale next week and the first open house is a week Saturday. I will have to keep the place clean everyday there after because of possible showings. Not an easy thing when one has two people and a cat living in a one bed-room … Continue reading Well, now it begins… →

At a crossroads and new beginnings

I have never been good with finances. It’s time I changed that. Even up until today, I have had the urge to buy something online. I don’t know how, or why it happened, but I questioned if I needed said product – I didn’t. So, I didn’t purchase it. It’s strange, today’s society at least … Continue reading At a crossroads and new beginnings →
