I’ve been told too often, that my healthy habits and lifestyle change recommendations are… ‘extreme’.
Yes, I get that quite often from friends, people I meet at corporate health talks, and the occasional gym-goer I spend time talking to. Sometimes, I’m quite convinced that even my family members think so too (but they’d just rather not say anything).

Many opportunities came along, and some of them really really promising - but as for how things worked out towards the end, I am very content with what I have right now - and I thank God for closing the wrong doors, and opening up the right ones for me. Here are some of my highlights for 2009;

Just a short note to welcome readers from The Yoga Instructor - Ninie Ahmad’s blog!
Ninie just today mentioned me on both her blogs http://theyogainstructordiaries.blogspot.com and http://theyogainstructorfooddiaries.blogspot.com in her story “The Importance of Realizing Your Problem, Admitting It, Wanting To Get Better and Seeking Help“.
In her posts, Ninie, who is also the Official Ambassador/Brand Ambassador for the Adidas Yoga line ‘Stella McCartney’ talks about how she has over the past few weeks taken charge of her eating habits, physical activity, and is now enjoying the benefits of having a Professional Personal Trainer.
As Ninie also mentioned in her blog, we first met in early 2007 and we became instant friends immediately after. [click to continue...]
