November 2025 Update

We have decided to start doing monthly update instead of weekly updates. There are some good reasons why and I include it in the monthly update video below.

Week 2 Update for Our Quest

We started doing Weekly Updates on our Youtube Channel last week so even though we have been doing our quest for more than 2 months, we are going to do Weekly Updates for weight loss and other things.

Family Fun Day at the Beach

In this weekly video, we took a short trip with family. First off, we stopped at property my wife’s sister bought and will eventually build on.

Day 62 Update!

I should have made this update yesterday but it was a busy day because of a family reunion plus Heber's birthday! We'll talk about that more later, but let's talk now about my weight loss.

Day 56 Update

On Sunday, I got my 7 day moving average for my weight. It was 352.4lbs. This is down 26lbs from April and 16lbs from the end of July. This helps encourage me to lose more and focus more on health. It’s a job for sure.

Day 51: Weighing In On The Journey

It’s not just about travel here or seeing new places. It’s really about us getting healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s about eating the right foods and losing weight.

Update for Day 43

Day 43 Update! Another boring day here in the Philippines. It was very much a stay at home and catch up day. That means laundry day! There were two things we had to buy when we came to stay at the family’s apartment.

Day 42 Update!

Day 42 Update! With the suggestion to find carbonated water, I did a second supermarket walkthrough today and didn’t find any. That’s ok. Yesterday we bought a new refrigerator after the previous one here died.

Semi Daily Updates Coming

I've long intended to make daily updates but it's been hard to determine when to start. We left the US on 8/10 and actually got here on 8/12. It took us about a month to get into a place and settle and make routines.
