Change is inevitable...

Hello world!

I'm back but, this time I'm here to talk about more personal stuff outside my motorcycle advocacy... Here, I will talk about more random and personal stuff that happens in my life...

Hopefully, I get to have some if not a few followers who will share my views about life, health, relationships, work and other things that people go through their daily lives...

So lets begin... Let me introduce my self first... My name is Jobert Christian G. Bolanos... 34 years old... A father to three children currently aged 10, 4 and 1... I currently own and manage another blog about motorcycling in the Philippines (www.bikerpinoy.blogspot.com)... Currently unemployed and searching for a new source of income... As the blog grows, I hope to be able to talk more about who I am and the things I do or I am involved in... So, just sit back and relax and enjoy the show... I'll try my best to not make it too boring...

Anyway, a recent event has put my life on hold again... As much as I would like to talk about it, I would like to keep somethings under the sheets as some things are better unsaid... The event has placed me on a precarious position and led to my unemployment status... Coupled with this, my health has suddenly taken a turn for the worst... I started to experience things that I have never felt before... Started out with palpitations, chest pains and the flu that doesn't seem to want to go away... What rubs salt into the wound is the fact that by loosing my only source of income, I was left with no choice but, to take my dilemma to my parents... Of course, in the wink of an eye, they helped nurse me back to my usual operational status...

After a series of tests, check-ups, consultations and what not, I got my heart cleared... Whew! Thank god for that... A few more tests followed and shortly thereafter, my doctor cleared my blood sugar (so no diabetes!), cleared my pancreas, gall bladder, kidneys, lungs and stomach... However, I was found to have a viral strain that caused my intermittent fever... And they diagnosed me with fatty liver... So, after a couple of prescriptions, I slowly nursed myself back to health...

The doctor advised me to stay away from stress and to watch my diet... He also advised me to get into an exercise regime to help me loose weight... Currently, I have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 32.9 which means, I am obese... Yes, I am a fluffy...

Which now brings me to the main topic... After being lectured about my lifestyle and the changes I need to make, it has brought me to where I am now... After learning of the sad stories of those who have turned a blind eye on them selves and their health, I decided to take the step to improve my life and the lives of those around me...

For some time now, I have been seeing glimpses of a show in the Hallmark channel about obese people in a reality show about losing weight and improving their lives... I went on an internet research frenzy to find out more about the show called Biggest Loser... After learning the stuff that they have put themselves into, I said to my self, "my God! I need to get into this!"... So I got into their website and signed up for the second season audition... At first I was hesitant and a little skeptical about going through with it because I have so many problems and I thought, "how am I going to make time for this with the things that is happening around me?"... After a few heart-wrenching conversations with the important people in my life, I decided to go through with it and see where it leads... I have been praying for some sort of sign that will help me change my life and this may be it...

As much as I would like to continue with this post, I will hold off for a while and will talk about it on my second post which will come in a couple of days... So stay tuned guys!
