Ahoy hoy, how are we all> I hope you are well and cosy. This blog post is about 2023 Q2 in review.

My eczema

My eczema was amazing, until a couple of weeks ago when my whole extended family and I went to a wedding where I had sugar, non-gluten and non-vegan food. I and my mum have been having monthly full-body massages which has helped with my eczema.

My #rockulele videos

I recently updated my microphone setup with a new mic, new stand and new cable, that I had bought for myself for my birthday. This month, I’m dedicating my videos to Green Day, where all the songs, and I’m going to attempt the Hindi song, will be by Green Day.

Me working

Unfortunately, I’m still not working. I was recently approached by a new friend, whom I met on an SEO course for some work but nothing has evolved from it.

My six-pack revolution/weight update

Last month, I finished the second wave of the Six Pack Revolution. Unfortunately, due to the tablets that I’m on, no six-pack. My weight, however, has gone down dramatically. I now weigh in at 64kg, the lowest post-COVID. I still haven’t been on my daily walks with my mum. I’m using the battle ropes every 2 weeks, use the treadmill the same amount and try and do my daily kettlebells 6 days a week. I’m back to wearing skinny jeans. My t-shirt size is now small, which it’s never been and my waist is 32 inches. With my diet, I’ve gone back to my normal snacks, but I still haven’t used normal salt in my food. I’ve been using black salt in my meals and I’m normal decaf cups of tea with jaggery in it. 

Last month, me, my mum, my sister and uncle went to Rugby retail centre. When I went into a shop called FatFace where the guy who served was a fellow brain tumour warrior. 

My health

I had a phone call from the hospital when they didn’t tell me anything about the last MRI. They just told me that sent out a blood test for the next MRI which is booked for later this month. I’m distraught that my tumours have reoccurred

I lost some friends 

Sadly, I lost a couple of friends. Tawanda Chamunourwa, Laura Nuttal, Steven Bracewell and Wayne Wallz. I met Tawanda and Laura at a brain tumour young adults meet-up and Steven, I never met face to face. Steven was a member of Shine and he ran a Charity called Gamers Beat Cancer. 

When I was feeling depressed a couple of years ago about missing driving, Steven contacted me and gave me a second-hand PS4 and a copy of Grand Turismo. When I found out that he died, I literally bawled my eyes out. I still tear up whenever I think of him. 

I met Wayne a week before lockdown, when I went to my first, and only, comedy meetup. 

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Next time, I’m going to talk about my 2023 – Q3 in review.

Howdy,, how are you? I hope you’re well and cosy. This blog post is about my experience with the Six Pack Revolution. A 75 diet and exercise program, to try and get you a six-pack.. The one thing that I’ve desired since losing my fluid blockage weight.

For six months, I’ve been doing my best to get a six-pack. Because of my fatigue, I sometimes do half of the exercise in the morning and half in the afternoon. And because of my dizzy spells, I do some alternates of the exercises that are given. The first wave consists of exercises that use battle ropes. The sculpt wave consists of exercises that use a kettlebell. That includes exercise and diet. I completed the signature wave back in March and I’m about to finish the sculpt wave. Here’s what happened to me.

My eczema flared back up

Unfortunately due to my allergies and my strict diet, my eczema flared up. I was told to put some buckwheat into my porridge. So I started off by adding a gram to my porridge. Which caused a reaction in my body.

I stop taking my iron tablet

At the start of the year, I was taking Iron tablets. But earlier this year, I had a phone call from my GP, telling me I no longer need to take the iron tablet.

I’m taking fewer naps

This time last year, I was taking 3 to 4 naps a day. One, after breakfast, another after lunch, another after my snack and sometimes after my dinner. Now, I’m taking fewer naps a day. I do sometimes take an extra nap but the majority of the time, I’m taking 2.

I’m a lot lighter than before

Before starting, I weighed in at 74kg, which was my weight before my diagnosis.  At the end of the first wave, I weighed in at 67kg which is over 7kg. Which is quite impressive. Because we are not allowed to weigh ourselves, I have no idea how much I weigh now.

After I finished the first wave, Scott, the founder of the Six Pack Revolution, said that to keep the body that you have gained, you have to go back to your normal diet, twice a week, and keep up with the exercise. 

My plan after my current wave is to keep up with the diet 6 days a week and keep up with my daily exercise and when it comes to exercising 3 times a week, I’m going to alternate between battle ropes, kettlebells and my treadmill. Because one of my goals from New Year’s Eve was to complete a virtual 5k.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Why hello there, how are you? I hope you’re well and warm. This blog post is about my 2023 Q1 in review.

My eczema 

Thankfully, my eczema is finally clearing up as long as I don’t eat anything from my allergies list. Mind you, saying that, I’ve recently had meals that contained soy and weren’t gluten-free and so far, no reaction

My #rockulele

I’m coming towards the end of my decades series. After that’s finished, I’m going back to playing and singing random songs, my Spotify playlist for future songs is over 90 songs long.

I’m still relearning the piano/keyboard every weekend using my Simply Piano app. But regretfully, I’m not confident in playing and singing something for my Instagram account.

My freecodecamp/me working

Unfortunately, I’m still not working. However, I’m working through this list of tutorials that Joe had sent me after I was stuck on building the calculator. In fact, when it comes to progressing with the course, I’m taking the lead.

My weight

My weight is currently 67kg which is the lightest since the lockdown/covid had started. However, I haven’t been on my daily walks or continued my couch 2 5K training program. I’ve started following the Six Pack Revolution diet and exercise program. I’ve recently finished the Signature wave and will start the sculpt wave today.

My health

I had my annual MRI back in February and I haven’t heard back from the hospital. It’s been over 2 years since I’ve been to the WISDEM centre to review my tablets. It’s been over 7 years since I’ve had a decent night’s sleep because of the steroids that I’m taking.

My taste buds

Before my diagnosis, I used to eat a lot of chilli. Since my radiotherapy, I wouldn’t go near the stuff. But recently, I’ve asked my mum to start putting chilli back into my food. I originally asked my mum to put extra pepper into my meals and now, I’m having seedless chilli in my meals.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Next time, I’m going to talk about my experience with the Six Pack Revolution.

Why hello there, how are we all? I hope you’re well. This blog post is about 2022 in review.

Now because of Covid, only a little has happened in the last year.

My eczema 

My eczema has gone and comes back several times last year. It’s currently back with a vengeance.

My #rockulele

Late last year, I started using my uncle’s soundboard and microphone. I was inspired by a good friend, a fellow brain tumour warrior, Rudy Fischmann, who wanted to collaborate with me. I now use the soundboard every week. 

Also last year, I started my decades series of songs. I started with the 60s rock songs and alternating between rock and soul/RnB songs slowly built myself up to the 

Also last year, I received a keyboard for Christmas. Every weekend, I’ve been using the Simply Piano app and every other day, I’ve been using the Simply Sing app.

My freecodecamp course/my work

I’ve been stuck on one of the tasks “build a calculator” for a while. So I asked my friend Joe for help and he sent me a list of 40 javascript tutorials. Even before my diagnosis, I’ve struggled with javascript. As a front-end developer, I always preferred jQuery, But that was over 7 years ago. Now that times have changed and people are only hiring React developers.

Bhangra Blaze/Earls of Uke

Bhangra came back on in the middle of last year but in a new area. It was in Wyken Community centre but now it’s in Diamond Dance Studios. I’ve also started re-attending my Earls of Uke get-togethers only once a month. 

My daily exercise

In the middle of last year, I noticed that my weight was going up. So that’s when I decided to use my fixed hula hoop every day, and alternate between my ab swing and lifting dumbbells. That came to a stop at the start of this year when I started the Six Pack Revolution program, a 70 day diet and exercise regime. 

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Hi everyone, how are you? I hope you are well and warm. Today’s blog post is about 2022 Q4 in review. Not much has happened in the last 3 months, but some things have happened.

My eczema 

My eczema has finally settled, thankfully. It’s been a rough couple of years with my most recent eczema stint, but delightedly. My skin has smoothed out. I’ve still got heat spots on my back but the rest of the body is cleared out.

My #rockulele/ukulele playing

Most recently, I participated in the Earls of Uke Christmas get-together. Normally, the group would open the room up and fill it with audience members, but because of Covid, that did not happen. Hence no video recordings from myself.

With my weekly #rockulele videos, I’ve upped my production values with them. Last year, one of my uncles, gave me a semi-professional soundboard and microphone. I was recently approached by a friend, Rudy Fischmann to take part in his rock opera about cancer. And I wanted to give him the best quality. So I was determined to use it for his recording. I worked out how to use it and I’ve started using it for my weekly recordings. Here’s the link to view our song.

For Christmas this year, I was given a keyboard. Before my illness, as a child, my grandfather taught me to play the piano. While in university, for my dissertation, I did a musical piece based on the 5 stages of grief. That was the last time that I played the keyboard/piano. The plan is to sign up for something like Simply Piano, re-learn the keyboard, and slowly introduce it into my weekly recordings.

My exercises 

A couple of months ago, I added extra weights to my dumbbells. I found that lifting my old weights was not difficult enough. This month, I start doing the first part of the six-pack revolution. Which, I’m hoping gets me to my body goals. After trying by myself for the last few years, I have not achieved a six pack.

My weight

My weight is currently 69kg. I’ve stopped re-drinking cucumber juice and decided to be a bit more active, so that’s why I’ve chosen to go back on the treadmill and restarted my couch to 5K course. But started it at a much slower pace. Before the lockdown, me and my mum used to go on daily walks. Now, because of the lockdown and the current weather, that hasn’t happened for a while. Before my illness, I used to weigh 70kg, with a 36-38 waist, wearing large t-shirts.

Now, I’m at a 30 inch waist, wearing medium t-shirts

My working,

Unfortunately, I’m still not working. With help from Joe, I’ve started taking charge of me learning javascript into hyperdrive.

My blog

I have decided to cut my blogging back a little bit. Because my health has been stable for a while and not much has changed over the last few years, I have chosen to blog once every 2 months. I know that the charities that I’m supporting through my blog would be disappointed but considering that my blog hasn’t raised any money, so far, I’m sure that they won’t mind.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Why hello there, how are we all? I hope you are well. This month’s blog post is about what exercises I do. As a person who sufferers from fatigue, especially in the morning, exercising can be arduous. But I’m still doing something every day.

Fixed hula hoop

I bought this fixed hula hoop a couple of years ago but hardly used it. When my weight climbed up, that’s when I decided to use it. I try and use it every day but when I go shopping or have Bhangra in the evening, I don’t.

Ab swing

I bought an ab swing before my illness. As a child and teenager with a large stomach, I wanted to eliminate it. But due to a lack of motivation, I hardly used it. Until of course, I had the fluid blockage in my brain and all of those steroids made me put on weight. I used the ab swing, once every 3 days.

Dumbbells 

I bought dumbbells in 2009 during university when I was doing the P90X exercise program, before my illness. I do a set of shoulder shrugs, both ways, a set of curved biceps curls,  a set of short chest raises,  a set of short shoulder raises,  a set of hammer curls,  a set of wide chest raises,  a set of wide shoulder raise, a set of squat steps and then I do set stomach swings on each arm. I do this once every 3 days.

Treadmill/10,000 steps a day

As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, I like to do 10,000 steps a day. I know that’s hard doing 10.000 steps a day, but if you do the tips that I’ve put in my old blog posts, you will achieve it. Because of my weight gain and my eczema clearing up. I’m back on the treadmill. I started off doing slow walks at first and now I’m doing a slower version of the couch to 5K course again. My goal is to get back to going on the treadmill regularly and get a 20-minute 5K.

Bhangra 

I’ve spoken about the benefits of Bhangra in a blog post a couple of years ago. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, I managed to burn off over 3,000 calories in a day, which is the most that I’ve ever done.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Why hello there? How are we all? I hope you are well. This month’s blog post is about how I’m slowly building my independence. Now I’m not fully independent, nor will I ever be. But I’m more independent than since my dialogues. Here’s how I’m doing it.

Take one small step at a time

When I started to make my own breakfast, my mum was in the kitchen with me — watching me see if I made any mistake, like leaving the hob on and making sure I’m adding the right amount of milk. Now, my mum is not in the kitchen.

Give it a go

When I started to shave again, I used a normal razor. When my mum used to shave me, she always used an electric razor. When I did it myself, initially, I was scared, but innately, I knew what I was doing and in the end, I was ecstatic.

Have fun doing it

When I make my own breakfast or tea, I have fun doing it. It’s enjoyable doing things by myself. 

I’ve always said, if it’s not fun, why do it?

Have someone watch over you

As I’ve said previously, when I was making my own breakfast, my mum was in the kitchen Watching over me, looking after me. Slowly she was spending less time in the kitchen, and now she’s in the living room, having her own breakfast.

I know that I will never truly be independent, due to my eyesight, fatigue and dizzy spells, but these are positive steps in the right direction. And I’m always going to depend on my mum on everything that I do.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Ahoy hoy, how are you? I hope that you are well. Today’s blog post is about my review of 2022 – Q3. Not much has happened in the last 3 months but some things have occurred.

My eczema 

Unfortunately, my eczema hasn’t healed as quickly as it should. I’ve stopped using the cream my dad got from India because the second time he ordered the cream, it wasn’t the same. Because of this, I’m back to taking daily amounts of clarified butter with coriander powder in my morning milk.

My #rockulele

My Instagram has over 200 followers. Because of the most recent lionesses’ euro cup victory, I partially rewrote some lyrics from the famous song, 3 lions, called 3 lionesses. This video has over 100 views, the most that one of my videos has ever got. Here’s the video link.

My daily habits

Every morning, I restarted using my fixed hula hoop. I use the hula hoop every day. I’m getting quite good at it now. When I first started using the fixed hula hoop, I was only getting 10 cycles on both clocks and anti-clockwise. Now I’m getting over 100 cycles each way. 

After being gluten-free for so many years, I’ve started making my own breakfast of gluten-free porridge, gluten-free cereal, pomegranate seeds, blueberries, almond butter and vegan coconut yoghurt. After my porridge, I get up and make my own cup of tea. Because of me being allergic to refined sugar, I’ve been using my own mixture of vegan actimel, coconut milk and some maple syrup, that I drink for my breakfast. 

I’ve cut down on my brain games, I’ve stopped playing neuronation and only play GEIST on odd days. The only reason that I’ve stopped playing those games is that they don’t track how long I’ve been playing them.

I’ve become a lot more independent, I’m making my own breakfast, snack and evening granola. I started shaving myself as well.

My birthday

Back in the end of August, I celebrated my 34th birthday. I only asked for something to make me laugh for a present and I got two hats, a bunny rabbit and a frog hat. You can see the bunny hat above and you can see my frog hat below.

My health

I had an MRI in the last three months and had a phone call a week later from Ian Edwards, a neuro nurse who works at UHCW. I was given the all-clear until next year. 

My weight

Unfortunately, my weight has gone up. My weight is now 74kg. It was as high as 76kg, which is close to my pre-tumour weight. Because of this, I’ve restarted drinking cucumber juice but at a weaker consternate. On the week that I don’t drink cucumber juice, I’ve been drinking celery juice. I’ve given myself the unrealistic goal by the end of November of getting at least a flat stomach/a and six-pack. The only reason of this is because November is my 90s soul/RnB month on my #rockulele and I’m planning to do Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre. 

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Why, hello there! How are you? I hope you are well. Today’s blog post is about what lifestyle changes I’ve had to make post-diagnosis. I know it’s tricky and difficult to make these changes, but that’s life.

Slow down

Because of this disease, this was the first thing that I had to do. Not only due to fatigue but knowing that life is precious. Slowing down was probably the most challenging thing that I had to do. For someone like the old me, who was always rushing around, trying to catch a bus, and a train on time, and dealing with deadlines, I found it hard to adjust to this.

Take each day as it comes

I like to plan my day, but that’s not always possible. Sometimes it’s not doable. Sometimes life throws a spanner in my plans but that’s okay.

Rely on family and good friends

Unfortunately, due to everything, I have had to depend on my mum a lot more. She pretty much does everything for me. Although I have started doing a lot more stuff on my own, she pretty much does everything for me. I still make mistakes and mum is always there to back me up. When I do drop something, mum has to pick it up, because of my dizzy spells.

When it comes to good friends, I look toward my old work college, Joe. He has motivated me to get back to being a web developer through weekly tasks and pushing me towards the freecodecamp course.

Look towards meditation 

I know that some people have tried meditation and haven’t gotten anything out of it. But I’ve been doing it on and off again for over 6 years and it helped me. I’m a lot more confident and I’m a lot more at peace with myself.

Forgive yourself

A couple of months ago, at a Sliver Liners Relationship group meeting. Sherrie asked everyone in the meeting to forgive us. It’s not our fault that we are stuck with this illness. It’s not my fault that I have forgotten to do something or I’ve forgotten your name. It’s not my fault that I’ve sung a word wrong, it’s not my fault that I’ve dropped something on the floor. It’s not my fault that I’m too tired to do anything.

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.

Thanks and take care.

Why hello there, how are you? I hope you are well. Today’s blog post is about how I slowly rebuilt myself by redoing 10,000 steps daily. Now before lockdown, I was often doing 10K steps a day. But during the lockdown, I was struggling to get up to 5K. Now I’m happy to say that I’m up to doing 10K. Here’s how I did it.

Walk to music

Every morning, before breakfast, I will do laps of my bedroom. I would load up my Spotify  “future #rockulele songs” playlist and walk. I’m doing 3 songs, take a break to either list weights or go on the ab-swing and then do another 3 songs. Then repeat until my mum comes upstairs and puts my eczema cream/oil on me. This is easily 4,000 steps.

Take my own plates back, one item at a time

After every meal, I get up and put my dishes back into the kitchen, Now instead of carrying one plate and bowl in one go, I like to take each item individually. Wherever it’s one plate, one bowl or even one spoon at a time. For most of my meals, I like to have some fruit, olives, yoghurt and poppadom. This is another 2,000 steps.

Go into the kitchen

I like to make my own snack and cups of tea. Getting up and going into the kitchen and making my own snack and cups of tea is a real confidence booster. After my diagnosis, I would struggle to carry a small cup of tea. Now, I’m carrying my morning cup of tea and sometimes, carry my large cup of tea. I do still struggle with my large cup of tea but that is slowly improving. For my snack, I like to have some oil-roasted lotus seeds with seasoning. What I like to do is, put some oil in a pan, then put in some pink salt, turmeric, pepper and black salt. Black salt adds a tangy egg-like taste to the lotus seeds. I sometimes like to add mixed herbs or a shop-bought mild spice mix. I then put some lotus seeds in the pan and put the pan on a hob. I also like to have some pop crisps, a brand of oven-roasted crisps, and I like to have some roasted chickpeas.  

Every evening, I like to have some homemade granola with some gluten-free cereal. Before I started to decide to redo my 10K steps, my mum would make my granola. Now I’m getting my granola ready. This is another 2,000 steps. 

So now we are at 8,000 steps now before dinner.

Go into the garden or treadmill

Most evenings, I like to do laps in my garden. When the weather is a lot cooler, going into the garden can really wake me up. I sometimes like to do my Apple Watch’s breathing excise outside. When it’s too hot or too cold, I’ve been going back on the treadmill. I restarted my treadmill workout by doing 10 minutes at a slow walking speed and slowly rebuilding myself to doing couch to 5K. This is another 2,000 steps. 

So we are at 10K. Hurray! Now I’m going to talk about how to go above 10K.

Go shopping

A couple of weeks ago, I and my dad did our weekly shopping. When I did this for the first time, I didn’t go into the garden and still did over 16K.

Dance

Every time I attend my Bhangra Blaze, which has restarted up again, I always end up leaving full of joy and over 10K

That’s it for now. Once again, I just want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, and my Naughty Mamaji, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.
