And another year ends while a new one starts. I find myself frustrated with the progress made last year and, as I look at the start of 2022 I see all this possibilities. do not let the shortcomings of yesterday rob you of the promise of tomorrow. Time to get up and make some shit happen.
All the best for you and yours.
Do not
It seem that as of late I have been asked way too many times:
“What Made You Decide To Change?”
One day, I just decided that no one person or no one situation
would ever have so much power over me.
I decided that those friends who continually tell you I will pray for you
but never offer you a coin when broke or a piece of bread when hungry
have no true and vested interest on us.
That if it had to be it was up to me, therefore I promised my self never to
ask another “Don’t let go of me.”
That I am worth it not because of me but because of the one who created me.
I realized that I wanted and deserved a better, longer, healthier and happy life.
That a failed relationship did not preclude me from finding love again.
That having been overweight did not mean that I was to stay that way.
That loosing my position, and wealth only meant that I had something else coming.
That there would be someone who would take and accept me as I was, and to whom
my struggles and challenges would not be a deal breaker as they made their presence felt and,
carried some of the load and at times all of the load so that I did not have to face the world alone.
Because I had those that did pray but, they did not pray for me…They prayed with me.,
a lot has changed and my life now reflects it.
NO. Prayer in any form is not bad or unwelcome, but I remember what my parents taught
all of us as kids: after we pray on our knees we get up and go and pray with our hands, feet
and backs so we can do our part in making ours and other people’s miracles a reality.
I am thankful., oh so thankful for the many kindness I have received during the last couple of years.
I know that I have a purpose and if I have a day or a hundred years
I will work every day and in some way re-pay all that was given to me.
I want more. I want better.
I want health, wealth and a family
And that is why my prayer is never for things to be given to me,
or for life to be easy, and not even for many friends.
All I ask from GOD is for my loved ones to be healthy and safe,
and for me, Peace of mind.
With that I can and will take care of the rest.

Because we are all different we must find the thing that
uniquely motivates us to get out of bed, and get on
with the daily battle of the pounds.
Is it Music, passion, or just a number on the scale I don’t know
but whatever it is, you must find it and go forth with it.
Let us make an example of ourselves to those on
the sidelines and let us provide inspiration to others,
not because we are perfect or so accomplished but
because we are trying, and pushing, and not giving up.
We all need a push every now and then, so why not be
the push and example that others need and could
benefit from.

I do not know whose work this picture is but I owe them a huge THANKS.
In as much as I love life and living I noticed that as of late I have stopped
enjoying many of the things that give me pleasure. I have quit doing
the little things that make me tic and toc. I have put many ahead of me
and my happiness and my peace of mind and I need to scale back and
give ME a little more.
Yesterday for instance I packed a camera set and went out. Alone.
I have not done that in ages. Not like that I have not. And I enjoyed it
I took some pictures that otherwise I would have never been able to get
because they would have inconvenienced the other person with me
and I just wouldn’t have done it. I enjoyed it.
I am planning on going to a public library in a day or two. Just to sit
on the floor with the classics and breath. I miss Byron and Whitman
and JK Rowling.
Gang in the process of making a better us let us not forget to live
a life worth living. Yes, let us give and be part of life and society but
in the end there is you and me and we matter just as much.
Do not forget what it is that makes you. And go and enjoy it. Alone if
you have to, with someone if you have them, just go do it. Do not forget:
“There is more to life than to watch others living it”

Is there a place that calls to you?
Is there a place that when you think of home… There is where you mean.
This is mine.
Sitting out on the balcony. Thinking, Resting, Writing.
Knowing I am home.
I miss it so much right now it hurts.
Sorry just feeling mushy inside.
Tomorrow we get back to business. Today. I am enjoying the view.

The importance of GOALS.
Zig Ziglar Once said “With Out A Goal You will Miss Every Shot You Take”
We need something to shot for, and have in our minds a clear idea of what it is that we want, and where do we want to end at in our journey.
I promised on my last post that I would make available to anyone who “Asked” my goals and daily activity sheet, but as I thought about it I decided that I would just make it available on the blog so that I could make it easier for people to see and use.
I ask you to please look at it and if it works for you please by all means use it. BUT, please let me know what you think and maybe., some ideas as to how we can make it better so that we can together help others work on their goals.
Those of us that already had our surgery know that we had an idea, a goal, a dream of who and how we wanted to look at the end. I am not different or better than anyone else so I have made use of every tool I could get my hands on. This form is the result of me wanting to keep that idea clear in my mind, but also keep the accountability where it belonged: ON ME. I wanted to keep the dream alive and present.
If you see the guidelines that have been set for us maybe just like me you will say: “they are out of their bleeping minds”. I did. According to the American Dietetic Association I should weigh at the most 178 #’s being that I a male and I am 6 feet 1 inch tall. Yeah Right.
When I got down to 230 #’s I look like I was sick. Everybody was worried that I had contracted some kind of sickness or something. I felt great though. I think that the main reason I look “not good” was that I was not exercising or doing much activity. Now, I have learned and I want to get to and remain between 200 and 230 #’s. As I have increased my activity level I noticed that my face and body look better. I know by looking at my self and not paying attention to what anyone else says or thinks that I am on the right track.
People, please make sure that you have a goal in mind that is YOURS and no one else. Make sure that you are doing this for YOUR own reasons. Make sure that this process is something you are doing because YOU want it, and answer to YOU and only to YOU.
I have mentioned a picture. The picture that made me decide to take extra measures. I realized that I had let go of me, and I needed to fix me. I needed to bring me back.
I was sick and tired all of the time. I was in the worst shape of my life even though someone told me (trying to be funny) that round was a shape. So here it is.
I thank her for allowing me to post this picture. I do not know who should be more embarrassed, if I for allowing myself to get this big. OR her for being seen with me.
Guys we all have different reasons to do what we do so make sure that you have yours, and that they are important enough for you to always keep in mind and make you stay focused.
I will also add the form and hope that it will be of use to you, and that you will please post a message letting me and others know what it is that you think and how you think we can make it better.
I thank you, and I hope I was of help. The link for the form is at the top of this post.

This is the last week of the year and
the opportunity for you to develop, and commit

Ok Gang. This is the first week of
December, and the question in the air is:
Have you written your 2019 goals?
Guys we can never start too early writing our
yearly goals and plans.
It should be an automatic that by November the 15th
we are done with our planning then,
when the craziness of the holidays hit
we are ahead of the competition.
Reality is that few, very few people
accomplish this. and even less take their
goals to fruition. BUT…… The weird ones,
the successful folk, The strange, the winners
they all do this.
Gang I want for all of us to be strange, weird,
winners. YES I want for all of us to have
an amazing 2019.
Please, please work on putting your goals
and dreams on paper. Go crazy and dream big
remember that we want to be weird, and strange
Because we want to be winners.

It is in our decisions that we do or undo our progress.
No one else is in our mind when we have the daily
battle starting with getting up and starting the day.
We are about to start a new year and while I totally
believe that we can make a new beginning in a moment
many choose to use the beginning of the year as a book-end.
Nothing wrong with that but make sure you have a plan.
Make sure your goals are clear and specific.
Make sure you are making the tough decisions.
Let’s pay the price now and enjoy the results later.
Gang. Michael Hyatt from the podcast:
“This is your life” has an amazing product to help
make the new year the best year. If you are interested
on something like that take a look; google him and find out
why he has been a great resource for me and countless others.
Let’s continue to make choices and continue to make progress.

This is the last Sunday of November.
Have you written your goals for the next year?
Take it for a test drive. Write your goals and keep them present
all year-long and see if your life does not changes completely.
Make economic goals, Work on them and see if you do not end up better.
Make health goals. See if you don’t end up healthier.
Make weight loss goals. Your scale will thank you. It works.
Go to you tube and search Jim Rohn on goals setting, then search
Tony Robbins on life goals and there you will see the blue print for
goal setting. If you want to go the extra mile and have a month,
get and read the book “The Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy
and see your life transform, and improve.
Gang I can wish you all the best till I am blue on the face,
but it will take you putting some action for the good to come.
Hey.. If you can, give yourself a Christmas gift and get you
a subscription to Success Magazine.
Feed your mind the good stuff and your life will reflect it.
Let’s continue to feed our mind and body with only the best.

I hope you are all ready for Turkey Day.
Easily the day when we are most likely to over do it with the eating

always to be grateful and thankful for. I am grateful for the opportunity
I have to share with each and every one of you and I thank you.
Please know that you all will be in the prayers of this imperfect believer.
All the best to you and yours today and always.
Have A Great Thanks Giving Day.

Our size matters so little in comparison to the size of our commitment.
Character and commitment are the main markers we should be paying
attention to instead of most other things.
For those of us who have gone through the Lap Band procedure or any
other WLS surgery, there is a common misconception that somehow
we have taken a short-cut and that is just not true.
The managing of the Lap Band or in my case the Reliance Band
has taken so much learning and discipline that I count it as a
separate degree or certification, God knows it cost just as much.
To go through the procedure took a serious amount of commitment
and investment of time and effort.
The thing is that doing nothing will give us nothing.
Do we want results??? Then let us do something about it.
Let us do something now, right now and do not look back.

There are times when I get the biggest charge
out of a visit with Mr. Punch Bag.
At times, it is not about exercise or burning
calories, and it turns into plain and simple therapy.
At times, I admit I might make Mr. Bag pay for
the silliness, stupidity and shortcomings of others
and myself as well.
All aside I do enjoy how I feel after a session with
the bag and I find that when done properly I use my
whole body and the workout is great.
For those of us with a Lap Band, exercise should be
an intrinsic part of our days in order to keep, and add
to our weight loss numbers. Also, it helps maintain
our weight loss rhythm.
Gang when you don’t have a whole lot of time
try a session with the bag and see how effective
it can be.
Stay focused stay successful.

Last year around this time I hit us rather hard
with the whole goal setting thing and, I still think
that it is most important. BUT I also want to say
that life is more than just working out and worrying
about our weight. It is more than counting calories
and evaluating water characteristics.
Gang there are friends and family and hobbies and
countless books that also require our attention.
I was looking at my e reader and I have about
400 books. (yes amazon loves me) I noticed that
I had 46 book in progress meaning I had started
and had not gone back to as of yet.
I Love Photography. A lot., and if I could I would
hit the trail with my camera and just hit the shutter.
I miss quiet times with a good book and the
walks on the desert or trails up in the mountains.
We have to be about more than just weight loss.
Yes let’s try to be healthy always but let’s also
remember to be present in the moment.
Hey gang if you have any pictures that you feel
particularly proud of would you send them to me
I love to look at other folks pictures.
You can see many of my pictures at my Weebly
photo blog at: www.josegosuna.weebly.com/
A couple of things for you to know if you are going
to that blog 1.- Please bring your sense of humor
2.- Not all the pics there are mine. 3.- If something
offends you please just move to the next item.
But really there are some great materials there.
If you go there the first photo you will see is of me
so if you are brave enough go check it out.
Again if you would like to share some of your pics
Please send your pictures to me privately at:

them publicly here at the blog.
I thank you very much and hope that
we are serving and entertaining you.

I just want to share the road where I do my daily walk.
I try to do 4.5 miles every day and it works out ok for the most part.
This is the time I use to clear my mind. The time I use to get centered
and plan for the rest of the day. I also use this time to ground my self.
At times the urgent takes the place of the important and we must
be able to differentiate the one from the other.
Whatever your routine is make sure that you keep it in mind.

Why we do what we do?
I had to learn that while it was ok to continue to give to others and of my self., I had to find love to and for myself.
It is not an egotistical journey but an adventure of discovery and self-realization.
I celebrate a pound lost or a size reduced. I am happy for an inch and happy for an ounce.
I am happy to be doing better.
Celebrate you progress. Because I am sure you will agree that not going back is progress in and of it self.
Staying at the same weight for a long time is an issue, but from one week to the next it just means that you were able to deal with cravings and temptations. Just Do Not Go Backwards.

What is the most important thing for weight loss?? Diet, Exercise, Activity, Attitude?
It is all equally important I have found, but if there is something that I have seen make a difference in many of the people who I have known, is the fact that they were committed. There are many experienced and nutrition educated persons like me out there that regardless of the knowledge and experience failed at the weight loss game. I trained people on weight loss and therapeutic diets so I knew better and yet I failed consistently. It was the lack of commitment to the weight loss that kept me from realizing my goal.
Well Gang here it is the magic weight loss pill. Hope it helps.
All the best to you all.

We all come to a point where we must make
some decisions and changes that will have
an impact on the rest of our lives.
Most of the times those decisions come with
challenges and adjustments, we all have the
family member that is happy and content with
the life they are living., that is ok for them but
since we want more and better, we just became
the odd-ball of the family. Do not let that stop you.
Do not let the challenges make you settle for less

It is important to be clear on what we are working towards.
It is important that we keep our hopes and dreams present.
Each dream, hope, goal is personal so make sure you are not
falling prey to group mentality. Take support and accept the
help but also, keep in mind your own goals, dreams, hopes.
It is not about becoming an island, it is about becoming a
success story. It is not about just one thing, but it is about
getting that one thing important to us personally.

We must love ourselves enough to take the time
to take care of ourselves and those we care about.
We can show and share love with the meals we cook.
In order to take care of others we must take care of
ourselves. In order to accomplish our hopes and dreams
we must take care of our bodies first.
A meal might not seem so important, but those of us
working on losing the weight, regaining our health,
it is very important. It is center in our day-to-day.
Weight loss is never easy so we must take every single
opportunity that presents itself to make a difference,
even a small difference is important.
Do not forget: Every meal counts. Every calorie counts.

And a good MONDAY to us all.
Ok gang I have a question for all of us and here it goes.
If you were here, at the end and beginning of a nude beach
and you could see many girls and guys just having a blast
would you feel ok dropping your threads and joining them?
OR… Would the image in the mirror of the prior morning
stop you from joining in the fun.
No Clue what your answer was but mine was a respectful and
considerate NO. I am not there yet. I think I would still walk by
being that I am an adult & all, but I would definitely not disrobe.
I am weird in that I truly do not care what people think but
for me it is in the knowing of the people around me OR not
knowing anyone.
Why this post? This one is to remind us all that if something, anything
is not where and how we want it them we must do something about it.
Don’t like how you feel? Do something about it.
Don’t like where you live? Do something about it.
Don’t like how you look? Do something about it.
Don’t like your job? Do something about it.
Not happy in your relationship? Do something about it.
Change is not easy but being unhappy and unfulfilled is worse.
In case you were distracted we have been given a brand new
week to go and try again. Let’s make it count.

For those of us with a passion for cooking,
and the creation of great meals for us and
our loved ones, the term chef carries weight,
carries passion and a responsibility to the whites.
Those of us with the passion, and a desire to gain
control over our weight it becomes even more
important, and an intrinsic part of our day-to-day.
The knowledge to make a meal low carb, low salt,
paleo, or whatever the current “trend” is makes a
world of difference.
I personally know that the knowledge has helped
me and others with the battle of the pounds.
I guess my suggestion is: Learn as much as you can
and use it. For the longest time I used to cook once
a week, for the whole week. It helped me stay on track
and I enjoyed that day creating good, tasty, flavorful,
nutritious meals within my diet limitations. My diet
for many years has been: Low fat, Low sodium,
Low carb meals. I really enjoyed grilling meats and
vegetables for my meals. I also made at least two different
soups enough for 4 meals at least.
Cooking, good cooking is a pleasure. Learn and
take your skills for a spin.

Inspiration.
All I had to do was step outside my living room
and I had all the inspiration I needed.
This did it for me, but the question is what did it
for you?
We are all different and what works for one does not
always works for all.
Figure our gang what does it for you and pursue it.
Make sure that you are always working on your why
and the rest will come up easily. or at least easier.
It is not about money, but more about what inspire
us to go forth and accomplish our dream.
It has been said before by people a lot smarter than me
Find your why and the how will come to you a lot easier.

What can I say.
Love him or hate him…. He is one cool looking cat.
I have never looked that good in a suit. I am trying though.
Having a goal or an idea is a good visual aide that can Help us or

Make sure you know what you are working towards
and keep that goal ever-present so that you can celebrate
all the small and big victories on the way to the goal.

Where have your walks taken you?
Walking is one of my favorite activities,
I enjoy taking off and then see where I end up.
This particular walk started at the touristic
malecon in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, it ended
Way the hell two colonias/neighborhoods away.
The point for me is, ten thousand steps a day
is where I like to start., from there we shall see.
My diet, my life, my work, and most everything
else seems to work better when I daily take my
long walks.
The messed up part is that at times I go long times
not taking them, and I should do better since I do
know better than that.

please be good to yourself and: Do It.

This is a commitment we made. A change, an opportunity.
Went trough the process and then went to surgery all the while spending lots of money Ours and others.
My question to you is?
Have you given it a fair opportunity?
Have you utilized it to its fullness?
Have you planed the work and work the plan?
You committed to it?
So… Are you?
If not… What is keeping you? What has been your challenge?
Share please..
This is a re-post. I am trying to figure out what it is
that keeps us from obtaining the benefits we thought we were going to get
by having this procedure done.
We are all so different and I just hope some of you are willing to
share with the rest of us. I know that I would appreciate it.

Ensenada, Baja Mexico
We all have people who influence us in different ways and directions.
I would like to introduce to you Benito Juarez. This is someone whom
I was thought to admire and respect. Actually When I became a Free-Mason
I purposely joined the most conservative lodge named after him. Little did I
knew that several family members were part of this lodge. It was very nice.
My point however is that we must pay attention to what we want and also,
to those around us.. We must never forget our goals and dreams and by
keeping them ever-present we will see the opportunities to make those
dreams and goals a reality.
What are your goals?? Do the people around you know them? Let me
share something, recently I was asking about a new product and a couple of folks
within my circle of friends were using it, and immediately recommended
who I could talk to not just to purchase but to join this program and try to
sell, and market. All I had to do was ask. At 17 years old I knew I wanted to
join a lodge and I went through hell to get a sponsor when, had I asked my
circle I would have found out that my uncle was the leader of the one particular
lodge I was interested in. Go Figure.
Gang… Take advantage of who and where you are and ask, ask others
for help and assistance. Also, Make sure that you offer help and assistance
to others, never know when you might be just the perfect resource
someone needs to take the next step on their journey.
I hope you all are having a great time and in your journey.

This is Jon Hamm. He is one of the guys I admire
a lot. He takes care of himself and looks great always.
I love motorcycles and hope to one day look that cool
on one. Nothing like hitting the road, getting on the wind.
The other thing/experience that feels good is when you
get on the scale and it gives you the numbers you want.
I recently got on the scale and did not like what I saw.
I got on the program again and I have already lost 6 pounds.
I am at 59 #’s from my goal. I will make it. I will make it soon.
Gang as you might have noticed I have not post as regularly
as I am used to, but I am back and will get back on track.
By the way that is not one of my pictures and I wish I knew

Those who don’t share your ideals and dreams, Those with negative words,
Those that don’t push you up or drag you to the finish line.
clearly identify them and then: Give them love From A Distance.
Do not allow negativity in your world and maintain a positive outlook.
Stay Focus Stay Successful.

Wow!
I have heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. How many calories is this picture worth?
We should take a look at this when we are having second thoughts about our diet, our exercise, our walk, our run, and all those little things we do in trying to lose the weight.
Until the next one and in the mean time keep up the good work.

Yes it does.
The thing is that we, many a time keep around us people who
have no business being there. People who fulfilled their
role in our lives, and who now should be on to other things.
But NO we insist on collecting people.
Gang life is a continually moving target and in order to
even try to keep up we must be ever alert to it.
We must be in constant guard with the three A’s of
Bushido in mind: Alert, Assess and Act.
Alert to what is around us.
Assess what is around us.
Act based on what is around us.
The act part is what gives most the hardest time.
We know what to do or what not to do but we many a time
choose with our inactivity.
We want it so now we must learn how to go after it.
We must learn how to remove obstacles even if they have a pulse.
It is our life, lets live it to its fullest.
Gang Stay Focus Stay successful.

And while we leave low life people to live their
low life lives, we go forth and continue to grow,
and do more with our lives.
There is a whole big world full of possibilities for those
of us who dare to take a chance.
What are you allowing people to rob you of?
What are you giving permission to others to affect
in your life. Refuse and do not allow others
to hold you back or keep you down.
Push forward ever harder.
Gang Lets Stay Focus So We might continue to be successful.

I love and enjoy photography.
Reading the message in the photo made me
think of taking photos with film, we get one chance
and we best not waste it because it is gone.
In some ways it is the same with life, opportunities
and adventure come and if we are not aware
the chance is gone.
Weight loss is also like that. We make many
small decisions and if we are not aware it is easy
to mess up. My mother told me many a time:
“Nothing is as easy as being mediocre”
I ask you not to be mediocre. I hope my efforts
keep me from being mediocre.
Gang. Stay focus and remain successful.

Give us a follow for more on the day to day living.
There is a process to what we go through.
We dream, evaluate, plan, act, hope then act some more.
But more importantly… We define ourselves.
What we do in the process of all this is
very basic We Find Ourselves.
Make sure your goals are big enough
that they scare you a little.
Gang let’s keep at it. Stay Focus Stay Successful

A great memory for me.
This is at “Battery Park” in historic
Charleston, SC.
My kids were so little.
Writing, flying, eating, fishing, running, etc.,
whatever you love and like creates passion.
There is no winning without passion.
Weight loss is no different, dieting is not
either, and weight loss For Sure needs
commitment in order to create Passion.
Figure it out, get clear on the why it is
that you want to lose the weight, gaining
the clarity will help you bring out the passion,
do that and the rest will be much, much easier.
Gang, stay focus remain successful.

Much more on the day today challenges
and triumphs in our Instagram page
At the beach in Rosarito, Baja Mexico
Snacks on wheels.
Yes this is at the beach in Mexico.
If I am at home in Rocky Point or if I am at home in Rosarito
in Baja this candy store on wheels comes directly to you, on the
beach, with all kind of sweet or salty or spicy or any combination
of the three flavors that you can think of.
So if you like me like to get up early and go for a walk on the
beach before your morning coffee to get you started,
avoid this guys not because they are evil but because they
have all the temptations on one supped-up wheel barrow.
All joking aside we must be aware as best as we know of what
is waiting for us outside our door. I know that while in Mexico
I must be aware of the bakery shops. They use Crack in their stuff..
No they don’t but who can say no to a “concha” or an “oreja”, when
you have a great cup of coffee on hand and a whole empty hand
just begging for you to grab a piece of bread or two.
So I go for my walk and immediately take my happy butt back home
and have a good breakfast, then I can contend with the street vendors
and the bakery shop mafia.
The more we know and the better prepared we are the better our
chances for success.
Guys do not forget just how much we have to do to burn 100 calories
Don’t mess it up with empty food or useless fluids. Make every calorie count.
Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.
