Welcome to Embrace Tiger, Return to Kitchen
T’ai Chi fans out there will find the name of this blog to be familiar. It’s taken from a technique in most T’ai Chi systems called “Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain”. The reason for that is that T’ai Chi was the first martial art that I studied when I began my climb down the belly bulge at age 21. At that time I weighed in at 396 pounds. As of today I tip in at 207. It’s been 18 very interesting years. Along the way I have learned many lessons. I also had to face my own deep internal terror of the kitchen (hence the name, get it?)
The path of reclaiming my fitness, my body, my peace of mind and my place in the kitchen has been a long one filled with many twists & turns, ups & downs. I look forward to sharing those lessons with you, and learning from your experience in turn. Welcome to my blog!
