Hayley’s Assistance Dog Update.

Hi there. Let me start with a huge THANK YOU to all those who contributed to the GoFundMe page to help us afford a pup for Hayley. We were already looking but when we knew we would have the dollars we put a more serious effort in and have found and ordered a pup. The […]

How Is Hayley Going?

A 2022 Summary and Request For Help, Please? Started really well, actually. Hayley started High School. That’s right, Our baby started Year 7. She was loving it too, until she wasn’t. Background story time… We have suspected for a long time that Hayley was on the spectrum (Autism Spectrum Disorder – ASD) but received no […]

Goodbye Paint Shop.

13th March 2021 I finished work at the paint shop. 30th July 1990 I started my first full time job. I worked for Haymes Paint in their Ballarat shop. That would be 31 years ago this year. Haymes opened a new shop in Frankston and I got to move out of home at the age […]

My 5 Year Story

Well here is My 5 Year Story and my 7 week update. (for anyone who has time for a read) May 2016: I hit the heaviest (99kg/218 pounds) and widest (waist 113cm/44.5 inches) I have ever been in my life. Partially, deliberately. I had written a short film called Not Yet about a guy who […]

Not A New Year Resolution, Just New(ish).

Personally I don’t believe in the whole New Year Resolution thing. I think it is a powerful way of setting yourself up for disappointment. Changing the calendar on the wall doesn’t really change anything else. So many memes at the moment about 2021 not being better than 2020, well der! If you actually want things […]

June, 4 Month, JB and Me Update.

Sorry it’s late. Will talk about that in the next Blog. One of my inspirations to get started on this journey was seeing a photo my son took a photo of me using his VR headset back in December 2019. It took until late Feb 2020 to start but I DID start. At the end […]

The Summary of Hayley’s Journey After Cancer.

Well here we are in June 2020. 4 years ago in June 2016 my beautiful little girl Hayley (also know as Warrior Princess, Catgirl, Batgirl and 1 very amazing gentleman I know named Coombesy calls her his Hero) was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. A fairly rare type of soft tissue cancer that presented itself as a […]

May Update or 3 Month Update.

Someone asked recently “How Is Hayley Going?” So that will be the next Blog. The Summary of Hayley’s Journey After Cancer. Until then it’s back to me, me, me… lol. There is to be an amendment to the blog The JB and Me Challenge. With the use of a calculator and looking at Body Fat […]

April Update or 2 Month Update.

Still moving in the right direction. Most of the time. I missed my Move Ring target of 2,500 kilojoules (598 calories) 6 times, all in the last half of the month. Twice I didn’t even hit last month’s 2,000 kilojoules (478 calories) target. I missed the Exercise Ring target 4 times. If it was easy […]

Not All Anniversaries Are Too Be Celebrated But Some Still Need A Drink.

Well I haven’t blogged for a while. I guess I got tired of the whinging and whining. So I apologise for doing that. I have about 4 or 5 started blogs. Some a couple of lines, some a couple of paragraphs. But the motivation left the building. This one is a bit about the last […]
