On The New Year.
Are we starting this new opportunity on the right foot?
Are we set to get the most out of this opportunity?
Let’s not allow anything to get in the way of us reaching our goals.
This is our life. This is not a Dress rehearsal.
Let’s OWN it.
Wishing us all a Kick Ass New Beginning.
Jose G. Osuna
Merry Christmas.
More To Life.
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:
lapbandformen@gmail.com or you can share
them publicly here at the blog.
I thank you very much and hope that
we are serving and entertaining you.

Another B’ Day.
My Beautiful Wife And I Enjoying An Afternoon Beach Walk In Ensenada, Baja Mexico.
Today is my Birthday and I am so happy to
have a chance to celebrate with my lovely
and extremely patient wife Amythest.
There will not be any candles on my cake
as we do not want to have the fire department
come and visit again.
All joking aside, I am thankful to my dear God
for all of the many blessings in my life.
Grateful for the ones that choose to be around
and more grateful for the ones that choose to
bless us by keeping their distance.
Lots Of Love and thanks for all the Facebook
birthday wishes. Always Grateful.

On Boundaries.
This is a warning that works for ALL your
boundaries. Political, religious, nutrition, health.
We are living times when people it seems, are
looking for things to be offended about.
Whatever matters to you, make sure you protect
your values and boundaries. I do not have to agree
with you on anything to respect you and your values.
Stay alert. Stay focus and stay successful.

Every Now And Then.
While I am all for going forth and taking
any and all the necessary extra steps, I also
believe that we should take any breaks and stops
needed for us to remain sane and centered.
To be successful full effort and commitment
should be put forth but attention should be paid
so we do not destroy by over-doing.
Take a break every now and then.
Go somewhere and enjoy something.
To me there is no better place than the beach,
and no better time than sunset. Talk about a magic
cleansing moment. Perspective I guess.
Gang figure out what works for you and
and use it for your growth.

On Life And Living.
There is so much in life. There is more than just seeing others live theirs.
I see this pic and it makes me smile as I see two of the things that I
actually have a passion for in life. A nice good watch and a great camera.
Lately, I have made so much of my life about my health and
weight loss. Because of my extreme circumstances I have had to
put lots of living on the back burner. Now am trying to catch up
with myself. Yes, health and fitness are very, very important, but living
and enjoying the other aspects of life is also very important.
It is great how we human beings are able to compartmentalize our
life. Yes I want to be healthy but I want someone to share it with.
Yes I want to live longer but I want someone relevant by my side.
I want more. I want more. I want more!
Do you want more? Because if you do let me tell you that
balance is the base for it all. It is not just this or just that,
it is “AND”. Yes a small word but an important one.
Here it is to us. The nuts that hope AND want for more.

Expectations.
We must decide what it is that we want, and once we do that
take the steps to accomplish it. Not any easier but clearer.
We live in an “Immediate satisfaction” society that has no patience
for planning, and organizing but even less for consistent
on-going daily work.
WE, however understand that our commitment, planning,
and consistent work will provide us the success needed to
support the next round of battles.
Gang, we know that it is not the easy but the consistency where
the success lies.
Let us keep going so that we might continue to be examples
to those observing us, those wanting to attain some of the
same success nectar. Continue to be an example.
Continue to put the work needed.
Let us all continue to make progress, daily progress.

Crossroads.
To know how.
To know who.
To know when.
And the all important WHY.
Knowledge is the main and most important tool
right behind commitment for accomplishment.
If you find yourself at this intersection always, always
choose knowledge.
Working on being better day by day.

Ceiling.
Every day we compromise. We give in a little
and before we know it we have gone too far.
It is not just in the giving but also in the taking,
and accepting that we can find our life taking turns
that we had never plan or even considered.
We must stand resolute in what we want.
We must remain focus and centered so that
our hopes, dreams, and goals stay in the place
they deserve.
Our life is worth of us showing up with our
“A” game. It needs our total and complete
commitment so eventually we can look back
at an imperfect but complete road and be able
to say with pride “Wow, What a ride., I did
the best I could and I am ok with me”
Gang. I am today sending you good vibes.,
I hope truly for all the best for each and
every one of you.

On Self Love
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.
OK gang today as always I wish you all the best of the best.

Thoughts Of My Mother.
Just a few years ago my Mother passed.
She was an astute and very smart person.
We had the longest conversations as we traveled
by train from the border town of Nogales all
the way to Guadalajara. She had an extensive
knowledge of Theology and baseball stats that
I am yet to find on anyone else.
She would challenge me with questions not
about religion but about God and faith.
She did not much care for any particular
religion but she was none the less a strong
believer.
Tomorrow would have been her birthday and
I find myself missing her quite a bit.
Maybe because I mentioned her a lot on my
new cook book or just because I miss her words.
We do not have all the time we want or that we
will need so in the here and now let’s do what
we can and live and try to live better every day.
Today. I pray for my mother.

Attitudes.
This is the attitude we need
when dealing with negative, insensitive,
ignorant people.
It is human nature to allow others to
have influence in us.
If “they” are not walking day by day
in our shoes with our ups and downs,
our challenges and battles., their opinions
mean only what we allow them to be worth.
Don’t give-up that much power to anyone.
And to my friend in the Carolina’s I say
You can do it, you are worth it, YOU DESERVE IT.

Unique US.
You. Me. Them.
We are all unique. And because of that, much thanks should be given.
A sea of sameness would be the ultimate boring trap.
It is our uniqueness that makes it nice and interesting.
I like it when I amicably compare myself to others, as it always ends up in laughter and at times some comedic fun.
I may not be as tall, or funny, or my hair as great compared to him/her.
Or my weight loss program, may be better than his but a joke compared to hers.
It is not only ok, but actually great to be different or unique.
However you wish to see it.
All I know is: I am happy with me.
Where are you on this?
Share a laugh or ten.

Jose G. Osuna
On Life.
For those of you familiar with my blog and
work you know that I have been working
on getting to my ideal weight yes., but I am also
working on creating a life I can feel proud of.
In the process of making a difference in and for
my circle of influence I have shared honestly and,
have contributed with advise from my own
past experiences.
Me just like you have had nice and significant
triumphs but had also to wrestle with the
Alligator of failure and short comings.
On the spirit of sharing I want to tell you the two
things that are making a difference in my daily
battle., this are things that are working for a
hard case like me so maybe they can make a
difference for someone else out there.
1.- I have a coach that has been kicking my ass
up and down the long hours of the day.
Her outside view with the inside info she
gets from me has had outstanding results.
2.- the influence of the products, service and support
of the 48 days community. Gang you do not have
to buy anything to get some great free tools and
you can join their weekly podcast for free. Why do I
recommend it? Well because in the process of
doing more than just loosing weight I am building
a life and a business and there I have found real
people with real dreams and some of the challenges
that we all face. If you are working on more than
just loosing weight and making a living take a look at
their program I hope you benefit as much as I have.
To the right you can find an affiliate link that will
take you straight to their site. As I said before you DO NOT
have to buy anything but you can get a lot for free.
Gang till the next time.

The Whole Enchilada.
The whole picture is about a whole life.
What else are we doing and enjoying.
While yes not all in life is enjoyable we must
find things we are passionate about and
throw some pleasure into our life.
For me it is traveling and photography.
What is it for you? What is the one thing you
thought you would be enjoying when you
“Grew UP” ??? Find it
look for your passion and if you are lucky enough to have
someone to share it with even better.
Life is a lot more than work, diet and pay bills gang.
Go live it.

Funny Fact On People.
The moment that someone decides to stand outside
of the circle there is always someone to try and drag him
or her right back in.
I have noticed that with weight loss is even worst than
with money or even relationships.
People do not take kindly of friends loosing the pounds.
The first criticism comes as a direct attack of your diet
which ever diet it happens to be.
Then if you dare have any success get ready for the
attack on your appearance. It seems like immediately after
you loose a pound or two you become the living image
of the walking dead or at least that is what folks will tell you.
Remain focus and centered and keep doing what you must
to get to your desired goal.
It is not for them., it is for you.
For continuing the process I salute you all.

Healing.
Sad but we all have something within us that
at some point and time controlled or at least
affected our life or the ability to enjoy it.
By developing our daily routines we strengthen
our selves not just physically but also spiritually
and with that we can move on towards a better
series of tomorrows.
Keep your goals and commitments present.
Go for your walk and do your exercises
as you said you would., and follow your diet too.
Learn to keep your word., to others but more importantly
To Your Self.
Our project is our life and body and both are
within our grasp to improve or mess up.
Gang we can and we should.

The Impact Of Other’s In Our Life.
It is incredible the impact that at times other people around us have in our life.
We can not choose our family but I tell you if someone from your family brings
you down it is time for you to choose just how much time you spend with him/her.
If you have a friend whom you love but is poisoning your efforts it is time for you to
love from a distance., a safe distance.
Many will say “I will help you” “I will support you” “I am here for you” and they will.,
until you actually need them. Then the diarrhea of excuses happens.
Choose the people around you. Your life, dreams and hopes are way too important.
Find and associate with persons who bring value to your life.

RESILIENCE.
Wanting what we love and loving what we want
is a sure way to improve in our Resilience.
We all know that life is imperfect and we know
just as well that things are not going to be just
how we want them to be for the most part.
It is acknowledging that and deciding to push thru
that makes us better every day.
Not better than others just better than we were
just yesterday.
There is no such thing as a small change or a
little improvement. Better is better regardless of degree.
When Sh…tuff happens push harder.
When things don’t go as you want them., try again.
When you are not getting the results you want., Refocus.
Do what you must but do not give up.
Gang we are worth it.
Let’s go for it.

The Evil Monday!
On Monday’s and other necessary evils.
We all know that for a new start every day
is a good day.
I like Monday’s… Yes I said it. I like Monday’s.
It is a clean slate with endless possibilities and
I want to take a shot at it. I want to do what others
do not because I want what others can’t have.
Be weird with me. Let’s make it count.
This day and every day is a great chance for a
fresh start or a new goal.
Happy Monday to you all and do not forget
to drink the water, measure the food, increase the
activity, take the meds and do not forget the
vitamins. All of this is part of the picture.

Regardless.
The inherent imperfection of being human.
We hope too much, We love too much.
We expect too much, We want too much.
We give too much, We push too much.
And some times we and those around us
fall short of what is expected.
Maybe it is just me.
The reality is that we all must be
honest, realists, sensible specially when
it comes to planning our activities.
We must at all times keep the main thing
the main thing as Mr. Covey told us.
Let’s keep those things that are relevant to us
on the front burner and continue to push.
Our health and goals are worth it.
Let’s make it happen.
Keep Working Today On A Better Tomorrow.

Tracking / Journaling
While I have always been a fan of journaling
my coach has made me take it to the next level (or two).
Being able to access this information has given me
the ability to more easily identify areas where time
or effort is being wasted so that adjustments can be made.
the other side of the coin is that the areas where I am doing
good can then be reinforced to make a bigger impact.
Both Jim Rohn and Darren Hardy have amazing materials
that show the impact that journaling can have in our life
regardless of what goals you are working on.
On his book “The Compound Effect” Darren hardy shares
how he has used tracking / journaling to improve on
relationships, money, weight loss and friendships in general.
Us here are working on improving our health and reducing
our weight so that is what we should concentrate on.
In the past I have made available a form I use for all my
tracking and I am going to attach it to this post for anyone to
download it if interested I just ask that if you find a way to
improve it please share your ideas and thoughts also,
If you are interested in the materials from Darren Hardy
or Jim Rohn take a look at my page on Kit.com by going to
kit.com/lapbandformen I have kits for photography and
self growth materials.
Gang it is possible to grow and do better so lets use all the tools
at our disposal and make today better than yesterday.
This is the link to the tracking form I mentioned and developed:

COMMITMENT.
“How Bad Do You Wan It, How Far Are You Willing To Go?”
Working with a coach can be very exciting and frustrating.
I love the results I am getting but let me tell you it can be
a very effective love – hate relationship.
In the end it is all good but since the process is to assess
and improve on “YOU” it can get personal and I notice
that at times I can get defensive. Not because she is wrong
but because this changes imply that I need being changed.
Am I alone here when I think that I am really great?
Am I the only one to think that dear God did a pretty darn
good job when he made “ME”.
Yes facing reality can at times be interesting but that is
why having a coach or support structure behind us is
so good and important.
Facing reality of our shortcomings is a rather big deal
but, it is also the gateway to true and lasting improvement.
Once we identify our “needs change” areas and we incorporate
them to our plans and goals the process starts to move.
Gang we deserve to be and do better, it is within us to create
the results that we want and need.
Regardless of what your dreams and goals are make sure
that you are building a support structure to help and assist
as you make changes and adjustments.
All the best for you each and every day.

Sunset.
What is more beautiful a sunset on the
desert or a sunset by the ocean???
I think both are magnificent but what
makes the biggest difference is the company.
A good friend or a loved one OR if we
are truly lucky a “loved one”.
those are experiences never to be forgotten.
Make sure you are creating memories and
sharing experiences with your loved ones.
Go ahead and make a difference.

Basic No More.
Who wants to live a basic life?
For those of us on this race we know that we
are trying to live life to the fullest and
the least of our thoughts is to have a
better today and tomorrow than our
yesterdays.
It is clear that weight loss helps improves
the quality of life.
I have all this dreams and desires that I want
to see come to pass and because
I might or not have the time and health
I want to make the most of every day.
Keep the basics in mind every day
measure your portions, drink the water,
increase the activity, plan your exercise.
We know what we need to do so now let’s
go and do it.

With Me In Mind.
The phrase that comes to mind with this pic is:
“If it is to be it is up to me”
Other than our parents seldom will there be anyone
else who will take care of us and our needs.
Those of us who are lucky at one point or another
to find someone who will walk with us but, for the
most part and for most individuals it is up to he
or she to be a one person support group.
It is up to the individual to push and push hard
to accomplish things.
It is my opinion that there is nothing wrong
with taking care of me. I do not mean this
to say F…. all others but make sure that
we are doing and taking care of our needs
wants and self. Never at the expense of others
but always making sure we are keeping a healthy
dose of self-love. It is necessary.
Pushing Forward together.

3 Choices.
It is a fact that we always want to “give it all we got”
But it is also a known fact that at times we DON’T.
It is my experience on this occasions that if I recognize
the event and immediately take measures to correct
the situation/environment/cause then the damage is limited.
We will have moments when the dessert table wins, when the
extra serving is just too good to pass, when we have one or two
too many drinks and for the most part it is ok in as long as
we recognize the moment and work on minimizing the impact
and be better prepared for the next time.
Gang. We live and we learn and part of the learning is
that we commit again, every time to give it our all.
Let’s continue to fight for a better tomorrow.

On “Friends”
Hello Gang.
I want to introduce you to “Peter”
Peter is my ferret., he is also my one ferret
support and cheering group.
He is always there. When I pull the scale out
he climbs on it first as if asking me
“How are we doing today”
He then looks at me and gets off.
As some of you know I have been dealing
with health issues and Peter seems to
know when my pain is at it’s worst which
it’s often and he just lays there at my feet.
This little guy has shown me what loyalty
looks like. He makes no promises., he just
shows up.
He is my therapy on four legs.
I am grateful.

Edit Your Life.
Cuts and adjustments must be made in order to keep things
in order. Not everyone will walk across the finish line with us.
Some people will choose to take a different road and it is ok.
Others will try to stay around but will be unable to do it.
Some we must cut and send on their way and that too is ok.
Pay attention to those close to you and figure out what is their
place in the big picture. Your big picture.
You see it is not that people are there only to serve you
but that they are there to BE PART OF. If they are not willing
or able then why are they in your life???
Be Fair and be honest about you and others.
Are you being part of others life? Are you sharing, learning,
teaching, being present? Are those around you doing the same
things for you??? If you or them are not then it is time for
removal and separation.
Living in honesty stay focus stay successful.
Jose G. Osuna
Share the love gang.
Monday, Monday.
What are the characteristics of true change?
What is it that makes us from one day to
the other decide that we have had enough?
What is it that makes it possible to say:
No more, Never again.
For me it was a lengthy stay in the Hospital.
What did it for you? And,
If you have not had your epiphany yet think
What will it take.
I hope no one else has my experience of
looking up at several Doctors baffled about
my condition clearly not knowing what to do next.
Gang it is not easy but it is not complicated either.
It is Monday. Let’s get back to basics.
Drink the water, Measure your portions,
Increase your activity, Take your meds.
Go to the support groups, Take your vitamins.
Really it is easy to do but as Mr. Jim Rohn
would say:”what is easy to do is also easy not to do”
Be weird, let’s all be weird and let’s be doers.
Carpe Diem! or Carpe The Monday!
Let’s work today on a better tomorrow.

Love Facebook? We do too share this

Spirit Of Wonder.
Our journey is one that we must tackle
with a never ending supply of wonder.
We know that weight loss and having
WLS call it Lap Band or any of the other
great options is an important part of what
we use to make our goals a reality.
Use the tool you have at your disposal.
Work on making progress and accomplishing
those things that will make a difference for you
in this journey.
Keep the ability to be surprised and amazed.
Look at all the wonderful options that we have
at our disposal for weight loss. We are blessed
to be in this country where we have options
for what we want to eat or not. It is really not that
much more expensive to eat right and actually
feed our bodies high quality foods than it is to
go pay a visit to the King or the Clown or even
The Colonel.
Please don’t go crazy buying $9.99 bunches
of spinach but also., do not negate your body
the necessary nutrients that are available to us
so let’s make the best decisions we can and
continue to win on this challenge that we
have set for ourselves. Keep going at it gang.

Life. More Than Diets
There is more to life than just watching others live it.
Let us not forget that life continues and that we Should
and must do our best to make every moment memorable.
Yes Dieting is very central to many of us but there are
those things that make us happy and allow us to
re-connect with the Real or Total Me/Us/I.
I share this photo of me in Charleston, SC where I had
a chance to enjoy one of my passions which is Photography.
I totally loved this trip.
I did re-gain some weight while there because I discovered
I had a passion for southern food. “Shrimp and Grits” Who Knew.
By the way if anyone of you ever, ever want to have the best
fried chicken in the world and I have had lots of fried chicken
all over but I have to take my hat off for the Fried Chicken at
(Drum Roll) Magnolia’s Restaurant in Historic Charleston, SC
yes many claim to have a better bird but They Are Wrong.
Gang.. Do not forget to live while you are alive.
Stay focus Stay successful.

Share the love on your favorite social media platform.
Always.
“Always” Now that is an interesting word.
Some people use that word way too easily
when they would not be able to handle a week
or a month without getting their way.
“Always” is a word I am careful to use just like
LOVE I love my kids and I will always be there for
them but I do not love a thing or a meal or a
drink. NO., Always and Love are words that
should be used truthfully and honestly.
To say Always and then to say I have moved on
reflects a lack of true and real commitment. A lie.
We must remain committed and on task
specially when it comes to our goals and
dreams.
By the way I love my kids the ones with my
DNA and the ones that my DNA, Heart and Soul
have adopted and made mine.

Breathe…
It is amazing what happens when we actually
stop and take the time to just be and breathe.
Stop, Breath but do it on purpose and feel
so much Bull Shit just vanish and melt away.
We are so arrogant at times and think that
the only way things will get better is if WE
make it happen.
Stop, Breath, Believe.

Time Off
Ok gang I have many a time
shared with you the concept of “More”
The fact that there is more to life than just
working on getting to a certain weight and
acknowledge that we must as well do some living.
Do what you must in life but you must live some life.
This is a picture of me in Las Vegas Freemont St. And,
in case you were wondering YES They are REAL.
Real pirates that is.
Gang do not forget to live and enjoy the person
that you are working on creating.
Stay focused stay successful.

Grateful.
I am grateful for today.
Today is my birthday and I turn 51.
In all honesty I never did expect to live past 35
and yet here I am.
I wish I could say that I am wise or mature
but that would be a stretch and I am not into lying.
That was not always my policy but it is now.
I have been blessed to have had a chance to travel
extensively and meet lots of interesting people.
Jewish, Muslims, Catholics, Mormons, Self proclaimed Christians,
Buddhists, Atheists, Jehovah Witnesses, Agnostics and more.
Communists, Capitalists, Conservatives, Liberals, Socialists,
Democrats, Republicans and more.
Folks from all over the world I have befriended and I am
grateful for their openness as it has allowed me the chance to
be part of the global community.
Travel and friendship changes you. It is impossible to remain
unchanged when you are friends with someone from Croatia
and someone from Barbados. Someone from Spain and someone
from Peru. Eat with friends from Yugoslavia and go drinking
with your lady friend from New York.
Whatever you do DON’T go drinking with
your friends from Yugoslavia or Croatia unless
you have nothing to do for a few days.
I have been blessed and today more than ever.
I wish for you all the best and I celebrate my birthday
by wishing each and everyone of you the best of the best.
Your friend on the screen

Kneel.
The ability to recognize when we are in over our head
is a great one to have.
As a freemason I know who is in control and whom
ultimately has the last word on things.
As a guy sometimes I am an idiot and try to change
or control the world and I am promptly reminded of
who it is that is in control.
Even worst; at times; I expect help, support or understanding
from others and even faster I am reminded of just how fickle and
flakey people can be and then I just have to run back to
The Great Architect Of The Universe.

A Helping Hand
If we are lucky we have someone like that
taking an interest in us.
It does not always happen but every now
and then we get really lucky and it does happen.
If you do not have someone like that in your life
make sure to be that person for someone and
see the impact a true committed friend can have
on someone’s life.
Gang being present and active in the life of those
that matter to us is a way to love and serve.
Do not cut yourself short.
Stay focused stay successful
