Those really help to keep me going, there’s nothing like public approval, support, and cheer. Thank you!

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been saying it for years “I’ll start tomorrow.” Well tomorrow has come and gone many times, about 2920 times! Tomorrow is today. Today, I got on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes and worked off 172 calories. Baby steps. I’m attempting to commit to a  declaration shared to the world. Shared to anyone who reads this blog. Shared to anyone who cares. Shared to anyone who supports me. A declaration to get back into shape. To trade gluttony for vanity, sloth for lust.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In September 2008 Tay was hit by a life threatening syndrome called GBS, Gullian-Barre Syndrome. Not fatal to younger folks but very possibly fatal to seniors. In October 2008, I went back to Baguio for a month to stay be with Nay and Tay during this painful ordeal. As time went on I began feeling [...]]]></description>
