Welcome
Most of my life has been spent working. It wasnt until my late twenties that I found my calling as a trucker.
Trucking was the perfect job for a guy that doesnt like having to punch a clock; the money's good and the scenery's always changing! One of the only downsides to trucking for me is the fact that I love to eat and became complacent about exercising. Gradually started to pack on the pounds. The weight kept increasing and found myself starting to have to take medication. First blood pressure meds, then statins for cholesterol, then pills for pre diabetes. A few months ago (years now) I decided enough was enough. I was weighing in at a not so svelte 354 lbs. and felt terrible. Not only that but society really does stereotype us obese and overweight people. Started to find more and more that I just didn't "fit in" anymore (in every sense of the word). Decided it was time to make a change and went and talked to the Personnel Manager at the trucking company where I work. Told him "need to take some personal time off and try to get my health back." Amazingly enough he agreed and I took an "extended" health vacation for six weeks to San Pedro Belize, Central America. Belize is amazing. I went snorkeling, met lots of great people, and had the time of my life. Also spent a lot of time walking around San Pedro and even found a nice little gym to work out at! However, although I did lose some weight It was not nearly enough, and I knew that the clock was ticking, soon I would be leaving Paradise to return to my Job. Then one night I was talking to a friend of mine who is native to Belize and had grown up on a large ranch in Punta Gorda. There is ancient wisdom that still is passed on among the descendants of the Maya and also the african immigrants that inhabit this beautiful little country, It was while she was telling me about her childhood on the ranch that she gave me some pearls of wisdom which I could use for weight-loss while i was in Belize.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day. Burnie
