This is the story on how I came to create this site
The story of my life. I had always been fit, lean and able. In my younger years I either walked or ran where every I wanted to go. For example, if I wanted to go to a dance, I would run the 5 to 6 miles there without getting all hot and sweaty. After I got married I combined my favourites pastime, hunting, with the need to feed and house my family and I took one day each weekend to hunt and by this method I always had a surplus of meat on the table.
Even with all this exercise I started to put on a little bit of weight, my new wife enjoyed showing me that she could cook, she did it very well.
After four years on marriage I changed my job and moved to the big city where I became a Policeman. At the training school I noticed that my weight started to go up fairly quickly. I was not able to use up all my energy in this new environment like I had been before. To counter this I joined the early morning runners before the classes started for the day. I don’t enjoy running just for sake of running. I am pleased to say of the 85 on that course I was the only one to be lighter when I finished than when I started, everyone else had put on a pound or two. Must have been the fish and chips shop up the road that did a roaring trade with the trainees.
While I found Police work very interesting the shift work involved made it very hard to keep up an exercise programme, so I concentrated on my work and my growing family. The weight slowly returned and I kept it from increasing too much by watching what I was eating. When you do a lot of shift work you always seem to be eating the wrong foods and always at odd hours of the day
For most of my life I enjoyed great health without having to worry about it. I was never sick, if I was injured in any way I healed very quickly, with my family I had a good lifestyle.
Then, about ten years ago, my story changed. I felt very tired all the time and out of sorts. Without noticing it I had started working longer hours and had a lifestyle that was very stressful. I thought that I maybe needed a pick-me-up and went to the doctor. I was diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes.
This has resulted in me becoming more interested in good health, what causes it and how to maintain it. I have read a lot on the subject, tried various products, and, now slowly am starting to learn what it is all about. I am now once more enjoying good health but I am now aware that this is a gift that I must look after.
This is why I decided to create this site, I hope that it is helpful to someone.
Up till now I had always thought that I would never be able to build a web site, or, if I did it would be a one dimensional affair which would be uninteresting to anyone apart from myself and maybe my wife.
This all changed the day I stumbled across the story of Site-build-it.
I clicked on the link and just followed where it took me, I found it interesting. After switching off for the day I thought about the story I had been reading on the Internet and returned the next day to the same link.
On the second day I returned to the stpory and learnt heaps more which I then digested in the evening. Returning on the third day, I re-read all the material, took a deep breath and hoping that it was not a scam, I ordered the package.
At NO time have I been pressured to do anything, or, to buy anything. Instead I have been offered help and guidance at every step along the way.
The next thing I checked on was
After this I wondered who did I know that has already done this that I can speak to about it. Then I found that I had access to the stories of lots of people who had been successful in doing this at
After all this my recommendation to you is if you are even only mildly interested in a project like this, give it a go, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

Here are a few stories that may interest you, there are heaps more if you want to see them.
This could be life changing for you!
For most of my life I have used and profited by using "A Mentor" no matter what I was doing. Some one who had been there and done that who was prepared to guide me so that I was able to avoid most of the pitfalls. One of these mentors is Jim Rohn and I recomend him to you.
For over a year, Jim Rohn and Chris Widener have collaborated on a new project that is designed to help you have more, do more and become more!
Did you know that most people are sabotaging their chances for achievement?
The reason is because they don't have a plan. You know the saying, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".
Everyone should read Jim's story and profit from it.

This is the story of my life and hope that by telling it I am able to help someone.
