Healthy Weight
Monitoring my weight to ensure it is always within normal range and to adjust food and caloric intake as indicated.
Monitoring my waist also to keep it within the acceptable range.
TO STAY ALIVE AND HEALTHY AND NOT CRIPPLED AND CONTENTED – a foremost strategy in my Intentional Living Plan.
Resolution of 2025:
Maintain weight NOT MORE THAN 72kg (within my normal BMI range – below 24.9).
Maintain waist circumference to NOT MORE THAN 38 inches.
What and how I am doing to maintain my weight and waist targets:
 Set targets for weight and waist circumference.
 Caloric control and restriction. Weigh every morning. If over or nearing the upper limit, caloric restriction.
 Exercise daily – walking for 5 km (75 minutes) and stretching-flexing exercises (20 to 30 minutes) with focus of abdominal wall.
 So far, I am contented (as of August 1, 2025).

I have updated ROJoson's Cancer Survivors.

https://sites.google.com/site/rojosonscancersurvivors/home

https://sites.google.com/site/rojosonscancersurvivors2/home

I started my Cancer Survivor Registry (containing cancer patients I have treated before, with 10 or more years of remission) in December 23, 2011 to serve as an inspiration to current and future cancer patients and will debunk the thinking that having cancer is always a death sentence.

As of July 31, 2025, I have a registry of 187 cancer survivors who have been in remission for 10 or more years under my care.

I will continue to track and increase the number of cancer survivors under my care. Target: 200 cancer survivors before I die.

This is one of my end-points in which I can say I have lived a life that matters.

This is one of my legacies to my cancer patients!

Today, I continue on with the project.

This time, I will name it as Project PULSE for Laypeople – 100 by 2025.

I will target teaching at least 100 laypeople on how to assess their radial pulse by December 31, 2025. This time, I will keep track of the number of laypeople that I will teach – at least 100 by end of 2025.

I will jot down the names of the laypeople that I will teach and the date. Starting date will be July 12, 2025, the day that I taught through my ROJoson PEP Talk through Zoom. The persons that I taught will just have to declare that they know how to take the radial pulse already – minimum – to count the number of beats per minute (full minute or 15 seconds x 4 or 30 seconds x 2).

Here is the list now – it will be an ongoing list:
