HEALTHY ADULT . . .

March 4, 2007

I'm not.

I have to be very honest. 280 pounds isn't normal except if you're Shaquille O'Neal. Even with a 6 Foot frame, I don't think my weight is normal. I don't look obese though, that's a point open for argument.

Not too long ago, I used to be a basketball player. Now, all I can be is either a team manager or a head coach.

How time flies . . . But really, being healthy is alot to ask for if you become an adult. Of course you have to take into consideration a lot of things before going to the gym. This is not an excuse, I know. But believe me, its tough.

When I was still in school, I asked my late father, "Dad, why don't you work out?" He gently replied, "That's why I'm cleaning the car and doing some household chores during the weekend. This is my exercise. I just couldn't find the time to walk in the park."

I didn't understand then, but I do now. The tough workplace environment forces us to neglect one basic aspect of life: HEALTH. I tell you guys, it ain't worth it. At my age, my blood pressure already reached 170/100. And with this in mind, I realized that I had to watch my diet and protect my health. What I would do to regain my healthy built.

Well, I'm working on it. It's going to be a challenge but I know I can do it. My motivation: of course, my family.

A healthy adult, I hope I can become . . .
