It
has been a year now since we moved to Oahu from the Big Island. We live in
central Oahu at an elevation of 800 feet above sea level in the town of
Mililani. This is the first time we have lived significantly above sea level
since moving to Hawaii, and though we miss our daily walks on the beach, we
love the cooler climate and gentle rains at this altitude. We also love the
amazing and frequent rainbows we see at all times of the day. The fine mist and
tropical sun make the rainbows unusually thick, bright and long lasting.
We
have enjoyed eating at the wonderful restaurants on Oahu. The food is
delicious, the service excellent and the prices are cheaper than the Big Island.
We have also found great grocery stores with excellent selections of delicious
foods to cook.
Unfortunately,
our reduced exercise and the great Oahu food has added inches to our waistlines
and 20 pounds to our weight. Our weight gain has motivated us to get back to our healthy diet and restart our Big Island weight
loss plan.
We
restarted our research about health and longevity, picking up where we left
off from our last book "Your Ideal Hawaii Health". Our new discoveries about health have been life changing in a good way. Our next post will highlight what we
have discovered and how we are using the knowledge to improve our health, increase our brain functioning and support our weight loss.
