Weight Update

Dec 30, 2014, 254.5 pounds, 46% Body Fat.

My initial response was, what happened? I tried so hard and gained one pound over the last week?

But, the proof is in the body fat percentage.

I gained one pound, but lost an incredible 12 pounds of body fat.

Pure Trim products are keeping me full and yet allowing me to lose the body fat that is crushing my heart and other organs.

An overweight, unhealthy acquaintance of mine died in his sleep this week. He left a very young Filipina wife with 2 new babies, no money, no life insurance and plenty of bills. She can't drive and doesn't speak really good English and has never had a job...I have mixed emotions, I am sorry he died and I prayed for his soul, but I am a little upset with him too for leaving her in this situation. It's too late to change any of that now, but I can learn from his mistakes.

I too am overweight and I too have serious health problems. I have sleep apnea, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I had 70% blockage in a major artery and had a stent put in in May 2014. I am a type 2 diabetic and am on an insulin pump.

Financially, I know I am leaving my young Filipina wife much better off. I have life insurance and over the past 10 years have made her (taught her) to become more independent. She drives and has a car, she knows how to put gas in it and parallel park it. She knows how to find a job, sell herself in the interview and be punctual and dependable. These things were not all easy, but I am proud that she learned to be independent. She is a successful, beautiful, caring businesswoman.

You see, I am over 30 years older than her. Statistically, I will die before her, especially with my health issues. She will survive me, but I don't want to leave her.

What can I do? The death of this man, really has put the fear of God into me. 

I can't wait until New Years Day for a New Years Resolution. I can't wait another single day. This could have been me, dead in my sleep, leaving a 34 year old widow. I started yesterday, eating the way I know how to eat and exercising the way I know how to exercise. Even with my limited physical ability, I know I can change.

I am associated with a great company, that makes health nutritional products. Two and 1/2 years ago, I started with them when they were new. With Motivation from the Owner of the Company as well as the Leaders of the Company, I took off like a rocket and the weight came off and my down-line and sales went up. 

But, life happened along the way and I fell into my old eating habits. I gained much of the weight back and was too embarrassed to go to the weekly company sales meetings.


I know I need to be accountable. I have decided to go all in and re-join my company and take my rightful place as one of the leaders. I am sending this blog to my wife and to my company leaders and letting them know to look out because Gary McPherson is BACK.

AZ Governor Jan Brewer is upset that her Supreme Court Challenge wasn't heard. This is about not allowing "Dreamers" (Illegal Aliens) that are in AZ through no fault of their own, to have Drivers Licenses. While I agree with Governor Brewer, I think she should have just wagged that finger at the Liberal Appeals Court like she did President Obama...
