Day 12 | Since coming back to Canada 7 months ago, i am equally proud and embarrassed to say that I have gone from 240 lbs to 180 lbs thanks to the shockingly enjoyable keto diet and the amazing support and cooking of my wonderful wife. Though feeling more attractive and healthy than I have in years, I have hit a wall in my weight loss and want to be more fit. So, time to join a gym. I hate the gym. I have not actively gone to a gym since I was a teenager, when I was swimming competitively. Time to change that. A month of a personal trainer to get me started.

Day 7 | Tonight’s part of my journey is one I am very excited about. Combining 3 things I love into an activity that brings me joy. Tonight I am with the love of my life and some people I love to play some music together, an activity I did not even realize I missed. These are the types of things I need more of in my life. They bring me true joy. Even if I am VERY much out of practice. Thank you Angel, David and Taylor for making my day. March 9, 2023 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
Day 5 | Today’s little activity could be very easy or very hard. Only time will tell. It’s definitely one that I have not been looking forward to but I know it’s absolutely necessary. I’m not going to post the specifics because this one is very personal but I’ll keep the progress in my personal notes. For lack of another picture to include, here is a picture of a wintery beach at sunset on a beautiful but cold day. March 7, 2023 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
Day 4 | I thought this would be an easy one but apparently not. The goal: to find old pictures that represent a times when I was really happy or proud of myself. The problem seems to be that I did not keep many pictures from the past. Regardless, here are a few moments from the past including; some from musicals I was in. A bit of photography from when I thought I was an artist. Pictures from the Philippines (aka the happiest place on earth). My lovely wife. Some random friends and travel. Enjoy. I know I did at the time. March 6, 2023 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
Day 3 | A bit of setback today. I knew not every day would be easy. Regardless… The hardest parts of this journey are pushing myself out of my comfort zone and ticking to a plan. Posting daily on social media is a great example of one thing, representing both challenges. However, this is extra hard when I feel set back and unsuccessful for the day. So… to shake things up and refocus, I’m doing something simple to accomplish and move forward. A nice long walk on a cool winter night. March 6, 2023 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
Day 2 | Rough start. Celebrated the start of my journey a bit too much. Never the less, I move forward. Today I took my wonderful wife on a date to the movies. Between covid, moving across the globe and with life getting in the way, we have not had a simple, fun, old school date night in far too long. Feels good to get back to basics.

– [ ] Day 1 | Today marks the first day of a journey to self-discovery and happiness. Not that I’m not happy with many aspects of my life but I know there is more. I’m doing this for many reasons but mostly, it’s for myself. I have to find who I am. I plan to post as frequently as possible. Not for clout or attention but to hold myself accountable to making actual change every day, try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. So here we go. With a new haircut and beard style, I begin. Thanks @mihermano_southampton March 3, 2023 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
Another one in the series of places I’ve worked that changed my life. #Bell is where I cut my teeth in the call centre world. September 9, 2022 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
I did not think I missed travelling for work but it has its perks! Even when the waitress brings you warm bread after you told her you are keto restricted. September 5, 2022 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
A dirty martini is Keto friendly. This is the most interesting and enjoyable thing I learned this week. August 13, 2022 | No Comments | Instagram Read More
