Choose Wisely.

choice

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.

Admire Someone, Anyone.

don

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

who’s it is to give credit but I do not know.

Stay focus and remain successful.

Every Now And Then.

IMG_1102While 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.

Inform Yourself.

lapband1

What is a Lap Band or more appropriately

a gastric band? Well… It is a tool that some of

us with a chronic weight problem have obtained.

It is a medical device that when used correctly

assists with a reduction of food consumed.

Anyone who is considering this as an option

must not only educate themselves but they

should absolutely sick professional assistance.

There are many programs and I will NOT here

recommend any one specifically, I will however

recommend that you find a surgeon that has lots

of experience. My surgeon was by far one of the

biggest assholes I have ever met but, but he had

more experience than all the others combined.

As a result I was in for surgery at 10 or 9 AM, and

by 1 PM I was at the market buying soup to take

home with me for later. I was given pain medicine

and I have to say I needed none of it. I was told that

I would be out of commission for at least a week, but

I was back with my regular life in 3 days.  I was going

crazy with the lack of activity.  Please note that this

was my experience and yours or anyone else’s might

be significantly different.  I had a great surgeon but

a crap support program. (I am sure it was my fault)

Considering this or any other WLS??? Inform yourself.

Mean time I am getting ready by

I just want to walk on the beach.

Progress.

78e3b075bdb20169aaa56cc8606e2477

I look at my past and can not

do less than be grateful.

Not bad for someone who

came to this country with no

money, not knowing the language,

no friends and an education that

even if great back home, here it was

about as useless as a third eye.

So yes progress has been made but,

the amount of mistakes and failures

are enough to scare some sharks.

Progress and any success I might have

had come at a high price and never

with ease.

So now I try to pay attention to my every

move in an effort to avoid Dumb Mistakes.

Do not let your past good, bad, or suspect

keep you from taking your next steps.

Keep going and keep pushing and you can

not avoid but succeed.

Gang, stay focus remain succesful.

Why not? Why not be positive.

Why not go the extra mile for someone else.

Why not do just a little more.

Why not expect more from yourself.

Why not remember that we live in this

the greatest country in the world.

Why not dream big.

Why not accomplish big.

So I ask you Why not?

and Why not you?

We are so very close to the end of year

and we will either be happy or frustrated.

Happy if we have met our goals but,

And A Reality Check.

20151022_141135The glory of travel.

I share with you one of my pics

just to share that: This was one heck of

daily walk for me. It is so much fun to go

out the door not knowing what your walk

will bring and what challenges it will present.

This was an amazing day and I did my walk

and I got some great pictures.

I have been a bit lazy this past couple of weeks

and I have neglected my walks and for that matter

all my weight loss efforts. No excuses and actually

no reazons. I just have been…… off.

I am writting this post many days before it’s go live

date and it is Sunday. I am commiting to get back on

track as of tomorrow Monday.

I always end my posts telling you all to stay focus

and that you will be successful. Well I have not been

focus and I sure as shit have not been successful.

Time to get back on the horse.

Gang Let Us Get Focus So We Can Be Successful.

YOU Only better

013c97cfaca511f81c14671acd036e88Just a little reminder that

while life is not easy it does not

need to be complicated.

Put your priorities straight and

attack with a plan.

You want to know how simple

loosing weight is??? Well here it is:

eat less but better quality foods.

Drink at a minimum 8 glasses of water.

Increase your activity by at least 50%.

Sleep no less than 8 hours.

Did you notice that I said simple and not easy

when talking about weight loss??

That is because we have so many habits

ingrained in our minds and that is the part

that I find to be the most difficult.

Specially the not eating of delicious processed

and fast food items. Drinking a gigantor soda.

smoking, not sleeping enough, etc, etc.,

You know the drill. Both you and me have the

same monster to contend with.

So the question is:

Are we worth it and can we make a committment?

Can’t answer for you but I sure am working on it.

Gang make a difference for you and yours and

take the plunge of health and a better life.

Stay focus and remain successful.

So how are you doing???

How are your goals coming along???

Are your dreams closer to reality???

This is the start of the last quarter

Many promises and commitments

were made 9 months ago so I ask you

How are you doing with your goals???

Are you happy and excited or

are you pissed off and resentful.

Are you in a whole new and exciting place

or are you in the same hell hole you were

last December.

The Mirage Of Success.

Condo Add Pictures 026.JPG

This was the view from my living room balcony

for many a year. This was my best medicine.

I would come outside and have a cup or ten of

coffee and think and plan and dream a lot.

I have since learned that being moderately

successful is at times the worst obstacle for

us being extremely successful.

I know that after obtaining some success I got so

distracted and full of my self that I started

making some stupid mistakes that slowed down

my earnings and my creative efforts. My writing

that at time was only for me went down and my

peace and calm state of mind went to pot.

On the physical side I started gaining and

gaining weight and deteriorating in health.

I eventually sold this property and another

one I had just down the road in an effort to

correct some of the damage I had done to my

life, health and economy.

Gang I was not focus and I sure as heck

was not successful.  I had to make a change.

I had to improve my situation.

Only I could make that change and work

on my life and situation. YOU TOO

can and only you can make those changes

that your life needs.

I ask of you Stay Focus And Remain Successful.

What Says Success To You?

measuring-tapeAs you look at your life

What says success to you??

Is it a number on the scale or the size

of your jeans or the money on your wallet

or the balance of your bank account???

We all measure success in different ways

and there is a why to it. And there is no

wrong way if you have truly identified

what it is that is truly important to you.

May I suggest there is a better way for

you, me and everyone to have more

“Success”.

And that is to move from important

to meaningful. From relevant to

significant.

Figure out what is important to you

and double down on it.  Then……

Make a difference and bring someone

along with you. Go out and help someone.

Support someone, help someone,

give someone a coin or a bite of food

before they have to ask. Be present

and be relevant.

Gang stay focus and remain successful.

Living.

World At A Glance ExpatOnce again and at a risk of

being redundant I want to

remind you that there is more

to life than just watching others

living theirs.

We are at the  end of May and if

you have not had a vacation or gone

somewhere new well…….

What the hell are you waiting for.

Go do something new.

Go learn something new.

Go eat something new.

Gang life is short even at its

longest so do not waste a chance

to create memories and do

new and exciting things

Yes we can’t always get away but

if all you can do is nothing at least

take a different route to work every day.

Read a new book, cook something exciting

I don’t know, I just want for people

to enjoy life as I have been blessed to.

Gang let us keep going forward.

Let us live while we are alive.

sometime and so have I.

Maybe nothing maybe something but one

thing is for sure…… We Do Not Stop!!

Not because of one or a million screw-ups.

I think that the only thing I would add to this list is:

“Go out and make friends by being a friend”

Such simple concepts that could make a huge difference

in our live’s and that of those close to us.

Tough Days.

screenshot_20170201-062956

Some Times Life Is SHIT!!!!!

We all have gone through days and weeks like this

and the one thing that makes it harder is the fact

that at times we still hope against all common sense

that friends, family, acquaintances will see our situation

and will stand and ask to be counted as help and support…

How has that worked for you????

It is like adding salt to the wound.

My father used to say is you want a loyal friend get you a Dog.

I decided to go a different route and got me three Ferrets.

I hate to say it but “My Father Was Right”

This little buggers have  given me more support and feel good

moments than I am able to recall.

REGARDLESS GANG IT IS UP TO US.

That is what all of this comes down to.

If you are able to help someone just do it.

If you can make a difference in someone’s situation please

do it., do not wait until they ask. Help them keep a

bit of their dignity and go be a true friend.

Yes you will be helping them and giving them a hand

but the impact it will have in you and your own psychology

will be even greater. Practice RAK Random Acts Of Kindness.

Go out there and be a friend.

Gang part of the process of becoming better should be helping

others get on their feet.

The Making Of The New Us.

4de8cf0a0be65beb86684fa69dfdb4aeMr. Muller One of my spiritual guides and one clear mind.

It is comments like this that set me off on a very different

life journey than the one I was living up to then.

It is an addiction to of sorts to try to please any and all

and it is just as hard a break up when we decide to take

a different path.

Recognizing “that” and “those” we choose to keep around

is hard but self fulfillment and self preservation must

be kept in its right place and that will simplify our decisions.

No one else will pay your bills or take care of your health.

No one will ever care about your success and failures as

much as you do. So sad when we look back and see that

so many said I will be there and in the end they were

nowhere to be found. Specially hard when we realize their

absence in a moment of dire need and the empty space

is made even more clear. screenshot_20161225-081809Yes we all have those kind of friends. I know I do.

I love and value prayer as my father thought us

Pray with your hands, legs, back and work and

never forget to pray by giving and helping your

family and friends but specially those in need.

Figure Out Who You Want To Be And Let Nothing Stop You.

Do not wait for others or you will be waiting forever.

Gang go out there get after it and make something happen.

Crunch Time.

life goes on

Regardless of what you decided for this new year

Life Goes On.

If you planned or not.

Life Goes On.

Regardless of dreams and goals.

Life Goes On.

If you triumph or fail.

Life Goes On.

So now I ask you if life goes on regardless

shouldn’t we make the most of it?

Shouldn’t we push to create the best US

we can make? It is not about changing

the world or even those around us but,

it is about changing ourselves.

I hope and wish for all the best for you

Might this new year bring out the best for you

but also the best out of you.

It is the end of one season but also

the beginning of another one.

Are you happy with how you did this last year?

are you excited about the new opportunity and

the chance to do even better next year??

I do not know where you are on the scale but

even after having a rather interesting year I

have and could do more and much better.

Some areas of my life I feel amazingly proud

and others I wouldn’t even share with my

closest friends and family.

I love it that we can have yet another chance

and another opportunity to try again.

Gang I know that I need to focus more

in order to stay successful and make a

difference. I want more. I want to feel better.

one of you have a great new year.

About 2016

excersice motivatorThis is it…

This is the start of the last month of 2016

How Are You Doing???

Are you kicking 2016 ASS or

Is 2016 kicking YOUR ass.

Time for a little introspection OK?

2017 is eying us 31 days down the road and,

What will we make of it? Are we happy because

we might get more of what 2016 had or are we

pissed off enough to change what 2016 has been?

I do not know I do not know you personally but

one thing I can tell you and that is: We can always,

always make it better. Are you sick and tired of

being sick and tired? Are you ready to do what it

takes to make you the healthiest version of you?

Are you ready to start manufacturing excuses?

If you are celebrating your gains and triumphs

have you decided what will you do this new year

to bring it over the top?

If we are not making progress we are either staying

stagnant and not growing or we are going backwards

and messing ourselves even more.

We do not really need a new year to make changes or

start planning and dreaming. All we need is a Monday

and the realization that what was ok yesterday is not

good enough today.

Gang let us plan and work on a new, better and

improved US. Time to move on from politics and

drama and all the bullshit that has been on the way.

It is time to get focused and successful.

Goals & Plans.

S U C C E S S

Have you had a chance to re-visit and

re-evaluate your goals?

Are you making plans to improve on

your results next year?

“WHY” is the most important question

to ask your self and you must have

an answer for when the going gets tough

and it will.

The process of obtaining clarity with our

goals is one that we can use in all aspects

of our life. What is important to you?

What do you want to accomplish?

Where do you want to go? What do you want

to move away from? What is next?

Push and strive for clarity so you can

answer powerfully the question of

WHY?

Gang put it on paper and live it

every day keep it present in our day to day

activities.

Monday!!

Here we are on Monday again.

Another brand new week to

start again and work for a better

and more productive week.

We always try to make this week

better than last right.

We are getting up there on the

year and we should be working

on our goals for the coming

new year 2017.

It is never too soon and it is never,

ever so good a year that we do not

want to make the next one a better one.

Weight loss, more money, a better house,

a nicer car, that pair of expensive shoes

you could not justify or that new computer

you have been following on amazon.

Make it happen!!!

Write your goals, plans and wants and feel

the impact that has on your life and the way

you spend your time and money.

Gang it is doable., all of it you just need

a strong enough why and a clear path

of Solid Written Goals.

We have two months to 1/1/2017

Let’s work on more and better

and let’s stay focus and successful.

The Thief.

TomorrowThe concept of “Tomorrow” is the biggest

thief of results, goals, dreams and accomplishment.

The best defense is to have a clearly defined plan

but more importantly an even stronger WHY.

When the WHY is clear the HOW becomes not just

clear but easy. Do you know you WHY?

Do not wait another day to start working on your

better self. You are worth it.

Put your dreams and hopes on paper and use

that to create a compelling WHY.

What is it that you want?

More money, more time, more freedom,

better health, a new job, a new or an improved

love life, peace, a new look?

Whatever it is will become easier, more doable

and easier to manage if you get clear and

put it on paper.

Gang we are worth it and the price we will

in the end pay will be well worth the work.

Time For Change.

img_20160909_100703

Time to move to better.

Time to change the acceptable.

Time to go for what we are worth.

Time to make it happen by leaving

behind what limits us be that

people, things or whatever.

Time to see us for what we truly are

and not by what limitations tell us

we are and what we deserve.

Work always makes a difference.

Excercise always shows in muscles.

A diet followed always shows as less

weigh on us.

It is time for a change. A change

that matters because it needs to be

a change in the way we think about

things but more importantly

about ourselves.

We are not perfect! There., now

Move On And Move Past It.

Go Make Change Happen.

Pay The Price.

Screenshot_20160820-094255.png

Your goal is your own and it is

what you want it to be.

Regardless it comes with a price and

that price can not be paid by anyone else.

The great thing is that no one else can

show and brag about the results.

Our weight loss journey, this road to

better health and more stamina is

not and it has never been an easy one

but both you and me know that it is a

worthwhile effort.

I hate that feeling of “No Energy”

it drives me nuts. I have always hated early

mornings but I always pushed and was

able to function and function at a high level.

When I am not on my diet and doing my

walk I have trouble stretching, walking and

even concentrating. I hate it.

Gang we know what we need to do.

We know the why and most of us are

working on the how that is after all why

we read books and blogs like this one.

Please remember that also by sharing of

our experiences we are part of the solution.

Please share with the rest of us if you

have a killer Ninja Tactic to get up in the

early morning or if you have a killer recipe

and why not if you have any Hacks that can

help the rest of us.

There are no masters here. Only students.

Please share.

The Walk.

559

Morning Walk In Rocky Point, Mexico             Photo By: Jose G. Osuna

 

The walk we take when we choose to follow

a wellness path is a lonely one but, it is a

worthy one. Look around you and see how many

of those close to you are fit, energetic and bringing

their A game.

I have recently moved and in my previous town

and at my last job I ever had I met a lot of people

who literally  hated the city and their jobs yet

did nothing to change their circumstances.

I tried for months to have some join me at the gym

and sadly NOT A ONE DID.

I offered to mentor and share of my entrepreneurial

activities and offered to share of my real estate

experiences but again NOT A ONE TOOK A SERIOUS

INTEREST. As I said I have since moved and when I

go back to visit or for my doctors appointments

I still see the unhappy and the unsatisfied not doing

a thing to change their environment.

Gang as we push for more and better I believe it is

a good thing to try and bring some with us but I

do not think it is our job to DRAG anyone to better

health and better circumstances.

Keep your life, health and circumstances

front and center and continue your journey

to more and better.

Stay focus stay successful.

Track Record.

100-good

Good track record even after……

Shit who cares I am alive and kicking it

Enjoying another day designed to make

me and my family a better tomorrow.

Who cares of all the shitty things, time

and people that are no more.

Let us make today count gang.

Today is here and here we are

Let’s Kill It.

Stay focus stay succesful.

Doin’ Fine.

Once we are working on those things that

are important and relevant to us we see that

many a time those people and things we held

on to were just weights around our ankles.

It is the same thing with excuses.

they are just rocks around our neck and ankles.

Ditch them and make some progress.

Go ahead just make a decision and go for it.

We went through WLS to make progress not

to make excuses. Getting a lap band was a big

step so use it. You already made that first

decision so keep going keep making progress.

Gang stay focused and continue to make the

needed and necessary changes.

Bacon. Glorious Bacon.

bacon-at-the-endIt is my theory that rocks with bacon would be amazing.

It is my theory that anything with bacon is amazing.

Hell if there was a way to wrap problems in bacon

I would be out there looking for problems or chasing an EX.

That said let us talk about our daily exercise routine.

Many of us for our own reasons must adjust our

daily routines., for some of us is time or health or

any one of a number of things but, the thing

that WE should ALL have in common is that

we should have a routine.

Our weight loss efforts will always benefit from

and increase in activity and no it does not mean

that you must go out and run a marathon but,

it does mean that you should add at least a half

hour of steady, continuous activity in order to

give your heart and body the benefits of a true

workout.

I started walking 10 minutes at a time when I started.

I kicked it eventually to right about 6 miles a day.

Right now as I am recuperating from a bit of life happening

to me I am unable to do my walking and as I got on the

scale this morning I noticed the impact of my reduction

in activity. Not earth shattering but boy there is a noticeable

impact.

Gang figure out what you enjoy doing and incorporate it

to your daily routine. IF you do not have a daily routine

today is a good day to start thinking about it.

Stay focused stay successful.

This One Is For Us.

I know what I bring

Many a time our journey scares or alienates

some around us. It is ok…

Because we are committed to our goals we

must acknowledge this and realize that it is

a price we must be willing to pay.

I will not drag people behind me.

I will not beg for others to support me.

I refuse to wait for others to be ready.

I am ready. I am going and all are

welcome to join me.

That Gang is the attitude we should have.

It will not make us popular but then again

we are working on a better, longer and healthier

life for us.

Let us do it. Let us pay the price.

Gang we deserve it. Our family deserves it.

We Must Stay Focused And We Must Be

SUCCESFUL

The 3 Choices.

It is great that in life

we can change the course of things

by making the proper and right decisions.

We know or should know what it is that we

want and where it is that we want to go.

With that in mind let us plan our journey,

and work our way to success.

It is all within reach. We must just

go for it.

Gang stay focused stay successful.

Always.

fuck it“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.

Lettin’ Go

after a while

It is hard to do this.

From people and relationships to

habits and customs.

There are people and things we love to hate

and hate to love but we must make

sure that we do not hold on to things

and people who are having a negative

effect in our lives, goals and dreams.

We must be strong and smart enough to

see and know when to let go.

Keep looking to the future with eyes

wide open.

Fit VS Thin

I love the difference made here between

a Fit Body and a Hot Body.

This gang applies to both male and females

and it speaks to a commitment and dedication

that we all should have.

Things don’t just happen specially

weight loss and a fit body.

We must remain focused in order to

continue to be successful.

Reality.

719d11589fd33e959bdd4b817a0610e0This is a great truth but one we can

only fully appreciate after we actually know

what our reality is.

We must look deeply into our hopes and dreams

set goals that support those hopes and dreams

plan ways to make those goals a reality so that our

hopes and dreams grow wings and then…

Work our ass off to make it a reality.

It is so much easier to ignore the opinions and

negativity of others when we are Killing It.

Whatever you have committed to go and do it.

Whatever you want or wish for go and make it happen.

Making our dreams a reality is worth getting up earlier.

Gang to be able to KILL IT is oh so worth it.

Stay focused stay successful.

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.

Regrets No More.

39f870cc6f6abf7317f0c1491ecd98f8We did it now what?

Well… We were either successful or not.

If we were we keep doing it if not We Learn

and do better next time.

We know that we gain by exercising and eating right

just as we know that we do not profit from eating garbage

or living a sedentary life so live, learn and do better.

Gang we will make mistakes and we will fall short of

our goals but moving past that and pushing for a better

next time will make all the difference.

Choose to move on. Choose to do better.

Choose to BE better.

Independence Day.

you are allowed to do for you

You are allowed to be free and work on being happy.

Gang…So many times we drag behind us things, thoughts

and persons that no longer belong in our lives.

We can carry guilt and excuses like they are pets

and, it doesn’t help us or make us grow.

I talk about not needing a January 1st or even a Monday

to make a fresh start but I find it fitting that this particular

Independence Day is indeed a Monday because I need to

Declare My Independence, I need to revolt against those

things and people whom I have carried with me that should

have been set free long ago.

Today I declare my self free. I declare my self in control.

Today I say it is within me to go and do and push and

accomplish. Today I take back what I had given away.

Today is a new start for me.

Gang… Drop what is weighing you down and make a

run for your goals and dreams. No matter what they are

if they are important to you then they are worth pursuing.

Start where you are with what you have and grow from there.

Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.
