I did not provide any update for a few weeks now as I was fighting a plateau. Plateaus in fitness are not stationary but sometimes appear as reversals. They are not good for the mind. I would wonder if all is for naught. Is it all going to return with a vengeance? Thanks be to…
I have made little but positive progress in the last week. I have had one slip. The task is to get up, dust off and keep at it.
Instead of following fad diets and eating a lot of fat/protein, I have chosen to eat healthy and control my portions to what is optimum for my weight and with a little less that I might lose all this excess weight. The results are slow but in the right direction overall. Three days ago, I…
I had committed to providing weekly updates on my health and fitness. However, I have been unable to. The first problem I began to have was that the website was behaving strange and getting real slow. Turns out the GoDaddy service I was using was beginning to get slow. Either I had to shell out…
August ended on a high note! Edi began studying Greek as a pre-requisite to seminary admission. God provided all the needed money for tuition and material for the whole year – $1615!

The month of August has been positively memorable. Perhaps in the year 2020 when there has only been bad news around the world, for the DSouza household the month brought some good news. Edi got approved for admission at Bethlehem College and Seminary. We are waiting to hear from the Seminary about the scholarship.
One must learn throughout one’s life. To be a student formally is what people do to get a job or to land a better job. I am going to be a student formally to do my current job better. No greater pay, no greater position. Hopefully I will be more productive at the job I…
I’ve been able to exercise self-control. My portions have been good. And on the whole there has been a good deal of loss. I really do not have much of an update but that I am doing great. I am moving towards my desired habits. And the results are good. Hopefully next week I will…
A lifetime of bad habits just don’t die. I am struggling to fight hard. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But overall this week has had a downward trend. I would prefer to not get on the scale every morning and find out the progress. I wish I could just check my weight once a…
I am overwhelmed by God’s kindness this week. Through unexpected ways and beyond my expectation, God has worked. Last week I was not sure if I will be accepted for admission to the M.Div. program. This week I learned that I am approved for admission on the condition that I complete the pre-requisite Greek classes.…
