First, I want to thank all those who have been supportive of me. Thanks for your encouraging comments and “Like” on Facebook. Those really help to keep me going, there’s nothing like public approval, support, and cheer. Thank you! Ok, so since I’ve been tracking my calories and weight loss on MyFitnessPal I’ve lost 7 [...]

Tired of Being Fat

Meldeine Sipes — Thu, 13 May 2010 22:02:46 +0000

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.

Last term one of my classes was Digital Photography. It was more stressful than I though, as most of you know I enjoying taking pictures and I thought the class would be super fun. I learned a lot of things I wanted to learn on my own but never really made the time to, so [...]

Tay’s Amazing Recovery from GBS

Meldeine Sipes — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:07:49 +0000

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 [...]

Well I finally got around to posting the photos from our recent trips. In February, on Valentine’s Day we went to the Wilhelma Zoo in downtown Stuttgart. We didn’t really plan on doing much for V-day so on a whim we went to the zoo. It was cold almost snowy day but we went anyway. [...]

I definitely have to try this… probably tonight. If and [...]

We got up fairly early to catch the SBahn which dropped [...]
