Goals.

Set a goalOk 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.

And that is why we do not pay them no mind.

We should be so busy working on our stuff

 that anything that those outside of our circle

do or say just stays there “OUT”.

Work on your goals, Work on your dreams,

Work on what matters to you and ignore

the rest.

What Can I Say.

don

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

it can mess with us.

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.

It is hard work so do not forget to celebrate.

Rumors.

fuck em

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.

Funny how people forget about their contribution when the results

are less than good, but how fast and permanently they make themselves

part of anything good that has been accomplished by anyone.

The way I see it gang is that we do this by ourselves for ourselves.

Try finding a gym partner and you can spend weeks asking, and in the end

you find yourself going to the gym by yourself. How about this one:

You start a diet program any diet program and everyone and their aunt

have an opinion about said program but as you start making progress

here they are…

Anyway do not forget that you can and should be able to trust and count

on yourself.  Now Go Do It.

Will you take the steps?

Will you refuse to partake of the

banquet of negativity placed before you

every day by so many?

we must free ourselves of the load put upon

us by those that would have us be the same

Do It. Shut Them Up.

gratest pleassure

Success belongs to the one that puts the work

and pays the price. Then why? I ask of you.,

is it that we want to (at times) leave things for tomorrow? I believe in hard work. In commitment and keeping the goal and dream in mind.

And when success comes, and it will. I want for us to shove our success

down the haters throat.

Well you might be nicer than me but as for me

I just want to show them that the more they doubt

me, the more I want to prove them wrong.

In the end to hell with all the naysayers and

let us rock on with success and better health.

Keep pushing and keep working your plans.

When you do that success is inevitable.

Stay focus remain successful.

TOMORROW.

TOMORROW.

Why wait for tomorrow?
For those of us who are on the road to a better US there is no place for tomorrow., not at the price of a better life.
We do not make excuses for others or for ourselves and that makes us at times the target of jokes, slander, abuse, good and bad intentions and it is our job to maintain the higher ground.

Zero tolerance!! For ourselves when we hesitate between the scheduled and the accidental. When we fail to do what is important and instead we allow the urgent to rule.
To fail to follow our diet just because “it is just a little piece”
For not taking our vitamins and medicine as prescribed instead of “at times”

Tomorrow is the biggest thief. The biggest reason why goals, diets, dreams, wishes and desires do not happen as they should.

As a Hispanic I am very familiar with the term “Manana” Manana does not mean tomorrow., it means “Not Now”

So I ask you If not today, if not now,Then When?

How about right now? How does right now sounds to you?

All of the best for you.

Shit I want to be a perfect and awesome human.

I want to stop slipping on chocolate wrappers and

Vietnamese noodles.

Reality is that… We are humans and we will have

set backs and what we do is acknowledge and move on.

We must not stay and allow a moment to dictate over our

day or week. We acknowledge and move on.

Believe Them.

816fe731960eb7f315a48d2ee9df43b5It is hard not to notice the roll of the eyes or

lack of attention and even harder the void

looks as we try to share.

Reality is: Some people just don’t care.

They don’t care about your struggle, they

don’t care about your challenges, and they

sure as shit don’t want to hear about your

success. Why? because they hate you?

because they don’t want you to succeed?

No I feel that many a time it is because your

effort and commitment shows to them and

everyone what is possible…. If they only tried.

It is uncomfortable for some.

But I also believe… Most Just Don’t Care.

Don’t let that stop you. Don’t let that be a problem.

Just keep doing all you can to accomplish your

goals and dreams after all it is you who has to

diet, exercise, walk, take your meds… You know

the drill. Just keep on keeping on.

What We Want To Be.

Weight loss is so much more than the way we look., it is also the way we feel and the way that we are perceived not just by others but by us as well.
We each have an idea an image of who we are and what we look like under the perfect circumstances but, we know that the perfect circumstances are seldom present.
Does that means that we settle or that we give up? No! it means that we continue to work at it and maintain the goal and the dream alive. We do this with our daily work and the image ever-present in our minds and hearts.
We fight with the tools and weapons that we each have at our disposal. We use the fork at the table and our legs in our walks. Exercise and diet. Patience and understanding. We use the knowledge that others have and so freely give to us by reading and acting on what other bloggers share.
I am so grateful to all of you that read what I write and the blogs that I follow. It reminds me that I am not alone and that in the end and in different ways we are not alone. We are all in this together.
I wish we could track the pounds that we are all loosing. Pound by pound we are making an ever-increasing dent on the mountain of pounds in front of us.
I thank you and wish all the success that our hard work deserves.
We are doing it.
Keep up the good work and throw yourself at it. Today. Tomorrow. Always.

We are not losers unless we quit. There are no losers here.

On Life.

good things happenFor 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.

Funny Fact On People.

Funny how 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.

On Problems.

28bc85d31deead30e25ce610a05cf5c8The one thing that I have learned in life is:

“Only share problems with those that can actually

do something about them.”

Therefore I seldom share my problems with

anyone. I find it does nothing, nothing at all.

I am just tired of those that say: “I am here for you”

Of those that have said that to me I am yet in my

52 years of age to have ONE., just ONE of them

actually be there and be part of solution process.

Big difference from those that actually jump in

seldom saying a word about it and getting their

hands dirty and actually helping.

Maybe it is just my experience., I HOPE.

Do not forget that the weight loss process is

very much a personal battle and while it might

be nice to have a support structure around you

expect for this to be a lonely road.

Own your challenges. Push forward full force.

Be successful so that NO ONE can ever say

that your success was because of what “they”

gave you or what you “took” from them.

Stay in the fight and you will win., maybe

not immediately but eventually.

you are a lot nicer than me and you think

they will not.

So what to do?? I put a stop to it right away.

I have actually chosen to move away from

my siblings because I could not tolerate the

small mindedness and constant negativity.

I have ended relationships and left behind

The Impact Of Other’s In Our Life.

be alergic to negative peopleIt 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.

46fb9400c33796e8c716f848ae29de5eAmazing how people at times are so very

narrow-minded, how little value they and

at times WE give to “Other’s” feelings.

Many a thing can not be changed but there

are other things, important things that can and

should change. Our attitudes, our poor and

negative behaviors.

We need to see the world in a more open and

positive way.

Our goals and dreams when ever-present

provide the fuel, the Jet Fuel to our lives’.

I guess what I am trying to say is that regardless

of the outside influences it is still up to us to make

life and things and dreams and goals happen.

Life And Reality

be thakfullSadly many times it takes a disappointment

to realize and figure out short comings.

We must be aware and continually look

for what is missing in our daily life.

We need people who care enough for us

that they show us with their actions that they

are not just lip service and when they say

“I am here for you” or “I will support you”

they mean it.

Regardless the responsibility for our life

rests squarely on our shoulders.

And here is where love and gratitude

comes to the front as I think of the one woman

who has made the biggest difference in my life

My wife Amy whose patience, loyalty, love

And strength has made my life better.

Lot’s Of Love Babe you are always present

When so many others choose not to.

Let’s keep our eyes open and continue

SUCCESS STARTS WITH A VISION!!

SUCCESS STARTS WITH A VISION!!

We have talked about goals and vision before but I want to once again touch on the importance of starting with the end in mind as Steven Covey told us so many times.

What is it that we want? What is it that we are looking for?
What is that image or picture of ourselves that we have in our mind?

If we can not conjure in a moment what it is that we are working for the chances of us reaching it will be improbable, unlikely.

Mr. Eric Thomas tells a tale of someone who wants to be successful and he trough the tale makes it clear that in order to get there he must want it more badly than wanting to breath while under water.

That is wanting it pretty darn bad.

Clarity of purpose gives us the certainty needed to accomplish a well defined goal. But.. In order to have a clear and well defined goal we must first have a vision.

My vision is at this point a cholesterol level of less than 100. A blood pressure that can not be used to inflate small balls. A weight range of 190 to 210 pounds. And the image is my size of pants of when I was a single man 32 x 30. Not perfect but perfect for me.

That is what I use as my vision. That and a new pair of pants that hang on the door for me.

I will wear them for my birthday next year. I will wear them when I go to a show and dinner in Vegas. That I know.

Find your vision. Keep it ever present and do not let go of it.

All the success to you always.

The Good Of The Worst.

1c6a6317299648b869b0ea2e8092e0c3As we look for the best on the bad

it is good that even at the worst we

can learn and find value.

It is good to see how honestly it was

meant when someone said:

“I am here to help you  because I care

for you” or this one “I just want you to be ok

because I care for you” or the infamous

“I expect nothing I just want to help”

And it is all good until you need them

and you realize that it was nothing but

thin broth or as my father used to say

“Verbal Diarrhea”

At least they finally showed us.

To Salad Or Not To Salad.

Good Day Everyone.

Have you ever been confronted by the “Salad Police”?

When people learn of my efforts to lose weight and the path (low carb, low sodium, high protein.) I have chosen I always get the roll of the eyes and the friendly “Really?”  It is funny because when I explain to them that it was this approach that has given me the best and biggest or should I say smallest results; they usually all of a sudden get very interested in learning just a little bit more. It is almost magical because as they hear the numbers they just can’t let go. What are the numbers? 330 #’s to 235 #’s in less than 4 months.  That was my first big success with dieting. Now… Success does not mean wining and  I proved that by going right back and past the 330 #’s to my top weight of  361 #’s.

Anyway back to salads.

I like salads. I like veggies both raw and cooked but I have a problem with salads and lettuce in particular. Because of my lap band it just does not move. I get stuck and it has to come right up. I have tried chewing longer, different dressings, more of this, more of that, less of this, less of that and it still does not work. So I have tried different ways to eat greens and vegetables.

Anyone else likes creamy mashed potatoes? I do. I discovered that steaming cauliflower and then running them trough my supper duper milk shake making machine and adding just a bit of sour cream and pepper makes for a most acceptable substitute.  I have done similar things with kale, spinach, broccoli, celery, and many other veggies and then use any leftovers for sauces or soups and by doing that I increase the amount of veggies I consume. But it is not salads. You know what it is that I miss a lot? my favorite comfort food broccoli spears with thousand island dressing sprinkled with salt and pepper.  Boy do I miss that.

Ok. I took the liberty of adding the cartoon below and while I know and admit that Atkins is not for everyone I know and can tell you that for a hard case like mine has always been it worked and, as I have incorporated it to my lap band regime it stopped the gaining of weight and has helped my slow progress to my goal weight. Please take it as what it is a cartoon you do not have to agree.

Till the next time.

All of the best for all of you.

Edit Your Life.

edit your life.jpg

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.

The Meds In Our Days.

Pills

I know very well that I have to take certain meds

every single day. At very specific times.

 I know that I need them.

But What to do when for whatever reason we

are unable to take them. What to do when

the pain hits and you are unable to function.

If you are depressed or dealing with fibro

with out your meds you might as well

just sit and breath as there is not much else

you can do. I KNOW.

There are many reason why we at times are

unable to take our meds as prescribed and

we must avoid that by any means but when it

happens try to have a plan B even if it is just

to howl at the moon in a therapeutic fashion.

or fantasize about inflicting the same pain

on some one who has not kept their promises.

Hope you never go through putting up with pain

because of lack of meds… It Sucks

If you use lyrica or Cymbalta like I do you know

how severe the withdrawals are if you do not

follow the prescribed times.

I guess I am just venting and letting my own

body know that we still have more battles to

fight in the future. All in all pains and all

I am grateful to be alive today.

I wish you all a great one today and always.

So True!!

But they are the first ones to bring up the

how they were never of help or assistance.

They were there they were just not there

in the hole. The hole of being broke, overweight,

sick, alone.

I just love the face of disgust as the haters see

us doing better. So great to piss them off

as they have to be there and see us be what

we all along knew we could be. Just an extra

fringe benefit since we did and continue to

do things for us and not for them.

12573055_1670384316554249_115915324551681073_nAnd still PISSING the hell out

of MY haters.

Enjoying each and every day.

thankful for my wife Amy who

makes every day an amazing adventure.

Breathing the air off of The Sea Of Cortez

and that of The Pacific Ocean.

Amazing that even with all the

challenges., life is so Freaking Great.

Thank God for unanswered prayers

and the gift of my reality, my life,

my boys and my ALWAYS.

All in all I am thankful to God

for continuously giving me the one

and only thing I ever ask for myself: PEACE.

As long as it is not “Rest In Peace“

P. S. Thank You

12998586_240178166336629_5246590071438221733_nAnd for that:

“Thank YOU” to my haters.

Now let’s get back to work and

let’s keep giving reasons to our

haters to stay with it and keep

inspiring us to kick more ass.

I am so proud of what we do every day

not because we always do great

but because we do not stop.

We keep at it. We keep pushing.

We are staying focused because we

want to remain successful.

Being Real.

3b25e28be196012781595454f263da0aSometimes you wonder what is one to do…

Then you realize;  heck.. I am doing this for me.

It is All-Right.

And you keep on keeping on.

We can give to others just be measured about

what you expect back.

Regardless stay focused stay successful.

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.

Happy Independence Day 2016

The Art Of Friendship.

 

_20160621_114410

“Relationship” is not limited to only intimate, paternal, etc.,

Friendship is also a relationship. Friendship is also something

that needs to be nurtured, supported, encouraged.

When true friendship is present the need for words is

lessened or it should be. If a friend says I am thirsty do

we wait for them to say give me a glass of water? NO!

We reach out and give them a glass of water.

If a friend expresses a need or want and it is within our

power to help, assist or in someway aid we do it or at least

I would do it as I have done in the past.

We at times have expectations… Hopes I might call them.

But again I am reminded that the size of my frustrations

is equal to the size of my expectations.

Where I am going with this is that if we are able to help

and support someone let’s just do it.

If we can let’s make a difference because we do not

know at times how far a gesture can go.

We do not know how much of a need there is for a touch,

a coin or a piece of bread.

We do things for strangers; good things imagine what we

would do for our friends those we care for.

Character VS Reputation

13331a70bafef5e093ff3e90611f6075Love what John Wooden said and it reminded me

what another wise person said:

“Those who matter don’t care and

those who care don’t matter” 

Gang until people have walked in your shoes and have

done and accomplished what you have who gives

two flying F@$%’s what they think.

Just keep crushing it and keep winning.

Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.

Do You Know Someone Who Is Killing It Share

This Blog With Them.

Life Changes.

6dbc367c2331fcbf60ab2286d5d8a433

It is during this moments when people show us who

they are but also who they are not.

Our life and Our goals and Our plans are just that

OURS and as important as they might be to us they do not

necessarily apply to others even if we love them or if they love us.

Change even to those who need it or want it remains change

and, change is one of the scariest substances ever confronted

by humans throughout history.

We need change. We can benefit from change and yet it is

most times an unwanted ingredient in the soup of our days.

Gang. Let us keep our minds clear and our goals present.

Do not forget the why. The why is where the key is.

Stay Focused Stay Successful.

Exercise.

Make sure you do what you need.

Make sure your food has quality nutrients and,

always, always ignore the haters.

Gang we all have haters., the minute you

decide to do more and better you have haters.

The moment you try to improve yourself you

just got some haters.

Do not forget that your life and your

health is worth your work and efforts and

the pain in the ass of dealing with the

haters and the naysayers.

Stay Focused Stay Successful.

The Little Motivators.

excersice motivator

I like it!!

Sometimes it feels like this is the only ting that would make me

work out. So I think of my former Mother In Law.

She used to say….. Just kidding., she would terrorize a T-Rex

easily every day and twice on Sunday.

I would rather go run than stay home where I would have

been a sitting duck for her to pluck.

Hell. I just ruined my beauty sleep by thinking of the T-Rex.

I do not know what your motivator is but I sure do hope YOU know.

Now use  it and go work out.

The Hardest Move Of The Day.

hardest lift

Now that we all know that let’s make sure that we don’t let that., the hardest lift

get in the way of the rest of the work out, walk or run.

I have to say I usually get bored with my activity right about

1/2 way through. So I kick my imagination into over drive and

keep going with my workout as planned.

The only one other thing that helps me is Music.

Figure out what will help you get through the hump of your workout

so that you can complete it.

We must know ourselves in order to be successful.

Look at yourself in the mirror of your own eyes.

Keep moving forward gang.

Therapy. Just Therapy.

Some DaysSometimes you just have to get all up in it.

At least that is what I was told.

At times I just work out to forget or at least stop thinking.

It seems people in general just keep getting under my skin.

I am generally an upbeat kinda fellow but Crap…….

Don’t you at times just wish people would just, just shut up.

I do. I let others live their lives I want for others to let me

live mine.  So simple.

Anyway nothing a good session of pushing and pulling the

weights won’t solve.

That is my theory and I am sticking to it.

Gang when the world pushes….. Push Back.

Stay Focused Stay successful.
