It Just Got Real.

We are to the wire gang.

This is the last week of the year and

the opportunity for you to develop, and commit

to your goals for this new year is coming to an

END.

We will miss all the shots that we don’t take.

We will never arrive to an unplanned destination.

Put it on paper. Keep it in front of you.

Then go and accomplish it.

Wishing you the best now and always.

4c16e8356a16bd92961de8d61aef6a1cI do not know how old this gentleman is but

I hope that I can look as good as he does, as both of them

look when I get to their age.

You see gang, this is doable and available to us all

if we are willing to pay the price, and the price is

paid with hard work and committment.

Not easy but truly doable and well worth it.

Stay focused and stay successful.

FITNESS.

any size.png                    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.

Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.

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.

What Can I Say.

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.

On Heroes And Examples.

DSC_0568.JPG

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.

Stay Focused  Stay Successful.

Taking pride and interest on bettering ourselves

must be a center thought, and all the work needed

must be focused to that end.

Trying to please and keep other’s happy more than

working on ourselves is a mistake.

Our weight loss, specially for us with the lapband

is a more important proposition.

Plan your work, work your plan.

Chest Workout.

And now a little big attention to the “Chestal” area.

Yes I know that Chestal is not a real word but is sounds FUNNY.

This is a basic set up and excellent in my humble opinion

example of a routine for beginners.

If you are a bit more experienced you then know how to

“Doctor” this moves and exercises to work better based

on your wants needs and experience.

With this and with all new exercises please ask help and

guidance until you can master them.

This is one routine that will send you home happy.

I have to admit that I continue to be challenged by my

Leg Day. I do it to the best of my abilities but I can not

remember a single time I actually enjoyed it. If anyone has

a routine for Leg Day that you think is great please share

because that is the one that I hear the most gripping about.

Gang keep up the good work and remember that  all that

you do for a better you, benefits you but also your friends

The Next Step…

and now i willThere is a time when we have to go back to basics

A time to get real and say “This is my time”.

So I ask of you….. Is this your time?

Is this when you decide  Enough with the

Bull Shit and just go do it.

I hope it is because there must be an end

 to empty and senseless words.

Drink the water!!!

Take your meds!!!

Do your exercise!!!

Follow your diet!!!

Track your progress!!!

So simple to do.

So simple not to do.

So… What will it be??

Here it is to us in hope that we will be

of the kind that goes and does it.

The kind that gets IT DONE.

Fear No Monday

One of the rules that I found is worth

of us always keeping is: “Never fail on Monday”

We must work out every Monday!

We must keep our Diet every Monday!

We must take our pills every Monday!

It has been shown in studies just how much

the “Monday Effect” can impact the rest of

the week., it seems that both monkeys and

humans tend to somehow be more inclined

not to follow through when Monday is not

addressed correctly.

Anyway I hope you have a great and

Helping The Excercise.

20150403_200553

All the exercise in the world is wasted if we do not eat the right foods.

Every one should know what food and items are the ones that affect us

the most and for some of us, the solutions are not as clear.

I tried many different approaches before getting my Lap-Band.

I am proof that ALL Diets Work if only for a little while.

For me it is Low Carb, Low Fat, Low Sodium and it is good because

I do no crave sweets and I do love meat and seafood.

I enjoy walking and working out but, I enjoy eating even more.

I truly enjoy fish and grilled meats so it is lucky me, but if you like and

enjoy other foods then you must learn about portions and nutrient

density. Not all foods are created equally so the more we know the

better our decisions can be.

Keep learning, keep looking at your self and the results that come out

of your efforts, and every day you will be better and your results will be

more permanent. That is after all what we all want right???

Have fun with food, try new things, go to a restaurant you have never

been to. My last memorable restaurant experience happened  actually

years ago at a Texas Road House in Gilbert, AZ I think. I shared a meal

and even that I could not finish. It was a strange meal. It was a strange day.

I had a taste of chicken and a taste of ribs and a glass of water.

Enjoy the process but also enjoy the food and your meals.

It is all part of the process.

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.

Do It. Shut Them Up.

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.

This is true in more ways than one.

One of the best ways to ensure that goals are met

is to write them down. Also, it makes dreams and goals

more real, and present while making them significantly

more attainable. Your life is worth recording so invest

on a journal and see your life transformed.

Do not skip steps. Write that which is important and

relevant to you in life and see it become your reality.

How We Are.

The way I see it is: “Even Superman has his Kryptonite.”

And we are not as bad ass as Superman so we must be

“Super” careful. I know that French bread at Walmart

would kick my behind every single time so I avoid it.

I know that if I don’t do my cardio before I do weights

I will not really do either.

It is in the knowing, and knowledge of our weak areas

that our chance for success comes.

Acknowledge your strengths, and be mindful of your

weak areas, and you are half way there to be successful.

Make your plan, work your plan, watch the pounds drop.

Simple right?

Not Really. What is easy to do is easy not to do.

Want it bad enough and you will do it.

Expectations.

I hate it whenWe 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.

YES!! I am happy to report that

Peter the Ferret has reached his

goal weight of 3.5 Pounds.

It took us a while for him to lose

8 Ounces.

Now I on the other hand, am still struggling

with my weight loss. Back to Peter now.

Just joking. Weight loss as we all know

is a challenge at its easiest. No matter ,

we do not stop, we keep trying,

we keep doing it.

There Is Hope For Us All.

every saintThis gives me hope.

This makes me think that you and I regardless of

how flawed or great we think we are…. Well we have

a chance. There are possibilities in that even if we have

been taken for granted or people not only did not keep

their promises but failed us there is a future.

Today we end a season. This can mean a lot or

it can mean nothing. It is up to us.

What are we waking up with tomorrow?

Ideas and thoughts of power and progress OR

feelings of lost and less.

I hope and pray that we will all tomorrow JUMP

out of bed and run to meet the day and

the new opportunities.

Gang we know how to be and do good….

How about we push for great.

What if we work on excellent.

We deserve it and we know how to do it.

I am here. I have been here. I will be here.

I know what it is like when people promise and

offer to “Be There” only to be missing in action

when we actually need them.

That will not be me.

I will be here tomorrow like every day at 06:30

It is not 05:30 and it is not 05:40

It is 06:30 every day regularly from Monday to

Saturday and every now and then I will throw

a Sunday but personally Sundays are for

God, Family and friends. NO, Not necessarily

for church as I have found that God wants me

in other places at times.

Let’s end this year with a bang and start

the new year even stronger.

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

Personal Change.

2dd73e9468bbb0fab3b59644557214f1

As we plan our goals for the year 2018

let us not forget that the battle IS NOT

to be better than others but to be a better

version of our previous selves from yesterdays.

The true battle if to figure out our weak areas.

Finding where the work is most needed is

a triumph in and by itself.

Winning is and should be about winning over

our weak and flawed selves. There is where

lasting change and triumphs lay.

I wish you all the success possible as this year

ends and the new year starts.

Let us be better every day.

Relationships.

_20160621_114410

We all want and need love and support.

We all want someone not just to love and

support us but also to understand us.

I have people who have understood my

political views or reasons and I have

had those that have loved me but,

the hardest has always been to have

people understand and support my

weight loss efforts. Don’t know if this

is only me and my experience but it is

a true and real fact.

I say to you: Do not let the fact that others

do not understand or support your efforts

stop you from following you wishes and

desire for more and better quality of life.

Keep pushing and continue to look at those

things that work for you and keep on keeping on.

Remain focus and successful.

Reality Kick In The Gutttt.

DSC_0429

This is a picture of a while back.

It is me at the beach with the daughters

of a lady friend. The little one Savannah

reminded me on that day why I needed to lose

weight on a hurry. Gang., I could barely keep up

with her and the reason is clear as you look at the

picture.  Between health, economic and other issues

I had once again ballooned in weight and could

hardly do anything.

Things have changed some and next time I will

be better prepared for her.

Reasons. We all have them and we also have

excuses so figure out what is important to you

and go forward with it.

Exercising and dieting are not things that happen

naturally or organically. You have to effect change in

your schedule and routine in order to make it happen.

So I now ask you: How important is this for you?

Your actions not your words will show your commitment.

Working on a better tomorrow see you then.

The Whole Enchilada.

better to see once

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.

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.

RESILIENCE.

Always AlwaysWanting 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.

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.

Live And Learn

when you succeedWe can not earn or learn

unless we are living and trying new

things and working on life.

The process of loosing weight

teaches us how our bodies work

we learn of what works and what

does not and by learning we

can adjust and grow.

Our failures teach us about our

shortcomings but also about our

strengths and values.

It sucks.. It really suck when we fail

at anything. I hate to lose or fail

but those experiences have done

more for my growth than most other

experiences.

Never learn to lose but never be afraid

to try something new, something

different.

Be brave and remain focus.

Meanwhile In Africa.

Better be running

Life becomes much simpler after

we figure out what we are.

Are we a winner or a looser?

Will we put the required work or

will we turn on Netflix?

Will we do what we committed

to do and promised to accomplish?

What are we Man Or Mice???

Make it happen gang.

Let us set and destroy our goals.

Let us be Someone.

Stay focus remain successful.

Changes…

Small Changes

Trying to make a big impact in life

by making large changes or doing

big thing is doable but hard.

Changes in small manageable

sizes are easier and by default

more likely to stick to.

I obviously do not know you

so just do what works for you

and continue to make progress.

BUT

If you are not getting the results that

you want maybe just maybe

try simplifying your action items.

Of course we here talk Weight Loss

but the same simplification process

works for relationships, business,

and any endeavour of interest to you.

Gang stay focus stay successful.

Try, Try, Try again.

if you end up misserableSo how about we try to live our way

with our own thoughts and faith

and desire for more and, in the

process we learn and try for better

after every attempt.

How about we own our live’s

and work on bringing to life our

dreams and hopes while working

on our goals.

If weight loss is what we want

it is right there within arms length.

If it is money or position or any other

worthwhile endeavour we can make

it happen if we put the time and effort.

We are responsible for us.

Let’s make sure we show up in full force.

Always remain focus so we can always

be successful.

hopes, goals and desires.

affect your progress.

Keep going for you.

Keep trying for you.

Keep working for you.

Living.

Screenshot_20170402-024547.jpgIf you are of the human race.

If you have ever taken a breath.

If you heart has ever contracted.

You have lived and if you have lived

I am sure you have screwed up at something

sometime and so have I.

So what is there to be done about it???

Maybe nothing maybe something but one

thing is for sure…… We Do Not Stop!!

Not because of one or a million screw-ups.

We keep going and we keep working on more

and more importantly: On Better.

Do not let the Shityness in life keep you from

the greatness of living.

Stay Focus Remain Successful.

Best Time Of The Day.

Screenshot_20170423-0755463:30 AM was my best time of the day.

I functioned well with two or three hours

of sleep and I could go all night working,

reading, talking, getting in trouble or just

driving around.

Things change. I have changed and as my

body has aged I find losing the weight  to

be harder and taking longer.

I hurt after my activities and I do not like it.

I used to run for ever and stop when bored

not when tired and now even my walks hurt.

And yet I find my activity so rewarding.

I love the challenge not because I always win

but because it keeps me going.,

I do love the feeling of the win all the wins big

and small because an ounce or a pound are

equally important and relevant.

Gang this weight loss thing is an ongoing

numbers game. How many times we fall,

how many times we get up again.

It happens… Shit does happen so be ready

and just keep going.

Stay focus remain successful.

Reality of Pain.

fb_img_1445305804932For some of us the living in pain is a daily reality.

For me between the fibromyalgia or my

5L Parss Deffect or my damaged knee.

It is a reality and when trying to get help

we must add insult to the injury (pain).

My pain specialist Dr. Suttera has been

truly a God-Sent as he has worked with me

on a progressive plan that has given me

some relief.

It has been a long way of trial and error

with many meds until the right combination

was found.

Recently, however while out of state I had to

deal with the ignorance and over reach of

“Medical Professionals” who use their personal

bias to judge instead of their training to treat.

Anyway….. It was my back pain what finally

made me look for help and start on the long

road of weight loss and it has been precisely that

which has helped me the most.

I offer that if you are in pain or your blood

pressure or cholesterol are out of whack

stay with the plan. If you have a lap-band®

make use of it and the resources that should

have come with it.

Gang keep working on your own health

Stay focus and remain healthy and successful.

Make The Time.

Screenshot_20170413-091833Do you want a long life?

Do you want a healthier more active tomorrow?

Do you want to be around longer to share with

your family, friends and those that matter to you??

Then find the time to do the things that will allow

you to be and do this things.

Those of us who have gont through Weight Loss Surgery

know that Never Will Diet Alone Drop The Pounds.

Excercise and activity must be part of the equation.

Remember

It is not about having the time as it is to make the time.

It is worth it… You are worth it so shut the heck up

and go make some shit happen.

Go Get Better.
