About Me:: Hi. I’m Brian, the old man. They call me the old man not because I’m that old, but because I usually spend all my time with a younger crowd. I am 50, divorced, and have two wonderful children, a son and a daughter. I live on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I have BBA degree from Georgia State University. I am a columnist for a local newspaper.

I have been through many hard times. I have limited mobility due to a combination of things. I have congestive heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and arthritis in my knees and one hip. My health has been improving. In 2007, I was bed ridden. In February 2009, I almost died however when they began to pray over my my condition began to improve. Today, I am able to get out of the house without my wheelchair and walk short distances and I have lost 130 pounds. I will continue to update my progress. I hope my blogs inspire you. It is my hope to shine my light upon the world. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain. I think I read that in a fortune cookie once. I hope you enjoy my articles and share them with your friends. God Bless You.

What are your goals?: I have made a lifestyle change. I hope to shine my light on the world and inspire others to live a happier and healthier lifestyle.

What is your current exercise routine?: In the morning I go out on my balcony and do my physical therapy exercises alternating between upper and lower body each day. In the evenings, I like to walk. I begin by stretching my legs and then walk to the end of the street. This is an achievement for me because I was in a wheelchair not that long ago.

What diets have you tried?: I am currently on Weight Watchers and it is working for me. I have used it in the past but did not commit myself to a lifestyle change. I have used Nutri-Systems, SlimFast, MediFast, Atkins, South Beach, my Tuna Fish diet, and several others.

What things do you want to do before you die?: I recently accepted a position as a columnist for a local newspaper. I hope to write a novel and become a motivational speaker.

We All Come Tumbling Down

Sometimes we make mistakes. We all fall short from time to time. It can be a hard road to travel and we will hit those bumps along the way. Some are pebbles and others are massive speed bumps. We try to climb that mountain but lose our grip. But if we…

Are You Winning the Game of Life?

If good health is one of you goals to a long and happy life, maybe not! It has been two months since New Year’s; are you keeping your resolution? Studies show people surveyed only keep their resolutions anywhere from 6-46% of the time depending on the study. My favorite quote from Yankee legend, Yogi Bera, “It ain’t over till it’s over” has inspired me to reach my weight loss goals helping me to lose over 150…
