On Motivation.

excersice motivator

Because we are all different we must find the thing that

uniquely motivates us to get out of bed, and get on

with the daily battle of the pounds.

Is it Music, passion, or just a number on the scale I don’t know

but whatever it is, you must find it and go forth with it.

Let us make an example of ourselves to those on

the sidelines and let us provide inspiration to others,

not because we are perfect or so accomplished but

because we are trying, and pushing, and not giving up.

We all need a push every now and then, so why not be

the push and example that others need and could

benefit from.

Gang Stay Focus Stay Successful.

Ageless Class

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.

Adele is what does it for me. I can listen to her songs

The Royal Albert Hall. Amazing.

Anyway gang let’s get together again tomorrow.

Keep smiling and looking for what will make you happy.

No Clue what you did this weekend, but

I hope you did something worth talking about.

Keep At It

We all have moments of doubt. Moments of fear.

It is when we move past those moments when the real progress happens.

It is past the doubts that we actually find certainty.

Do not let fear of doubts keep you from achieving what you were meant to do.

What is stylish? What is the it thing?

The answer is: It depends.

The same thing happens when it comes

to us. To diet, weight loss, appearance, etc.

It is about what is right for US. What is

appropriate and adequate for us.

Don’t let the flashy or trendy affect the process

you have delineated for yourself.

Keep it up and have an impact on your world.

Set yourself free.

Throw away the chains that keep you.

Work on being free from all negativity.

It is a choice so I ask you:

Will you take the steps?

Will you refuse to partake of the

banquet of negativity placed before you

every day by so many?

I hope you do because we are destined

for greatness. We must grow, but first

we must free ourselves of the load put upon

us by those that would have us be the same

as them for always.

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.

Scars And Story’s.

085653e0b2a6c00f98159c8b807227e1

It is not that we always make the

correct decisions but more that

we continue on our journey.

We said we would exercise DO IT.

We said we would eat right DO IT.

We committed to our meds DO IT.

We committed to drinking the water

and being more active and going the

extra mile now we must DO IT.

Simple and easy to do but also, simple

and easy not to do.

Let us not be common. Let us be

different and go for great.

We, Us, our families are worth it.

Stay focus stay successful.

Options.

directionsYes.,., We do have options.

The important thing here is to make the right choices

make better use of the proper options.

Gang I would probably rather eat a bowl of hot steamed

rice with salt and butter than any part of any chicken

cooked in any way.  (Only exception being the glorious

fried chicken from “Magnolias Restaurant” in historic

Charleston, SC)

The thing is that we need the commitment to our goals

so that we can conquer the options daily actually three times

a day for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

I truly believe that 99.99 % of those of us with weight problems

don’t have said problems because we hate eating or food. NO!!

We love food and eating so now that we have that covered

we must learn to love the goal and the plan.,

the image in our minds must be in our harts as well so

we can cross the line. Let’s do it.

Lets get to the weight WE want, To the size WE want.

It is our life so let’s make it the best possible.

Going For A Walk.

DSC_0033

Taking a walk by the ocean

is one of my favorite ways to think

or clear my mind. This picture I took

at the malecon (no clue how to translate

that word to English)  in Puerto Peñasco,

Sonora. Mexico. This is the place that as

of late I call home. I love the ex-pat life even

though I was actually born in Mexico.

It is great to live a life that allows us to

do what we love and be able to enjoy the

little things that give us happiness.

Gang we all have a side hustle that can

afford us a few of the little luxuries or

pleasures of life. If you are interested in

finding what is or could be your side

hustle let me recommend the book:

“Side Hustle” by my very good friend

Chris Guillebeau. He is also the author

of: “The $100 Start Up” which is also

pretty darn great. You may or may not

have an interest. Me… I want to enjoy more

while doing less and less. I have not worked

for anyone since August the 31st of 2011

when my position as General Manager

was eliminated. I love to travel and go

where I want when I want well… It is

as Master Card would say…… priceless

ROUND – TUIT.

ROUND-TUIT

My present to you.

Now that we both have one we can go and take care of the things that

we have been putting off until we had time,money, energy, etc.,

NO MORE. We do it now. We get to it now.

It is our life. It is worth it. Let’s get to it.

Gang. Enjoy your day, re-focus and I will be waiting for you all

Right Here Tomorrow.

I laugh every time I see this PIC.

I have no clue who first published it

but I have seen at least a dozen different

versions of this and I have to admit that

at some point or time I have felt like each

and every one of them.

Money, illness, friends, relationships,

work, frustrations, and on and on and…

You get the idea.

The other side of the coin is that

Every

single

time

I have made it and came out on

the other side stronger and more

resolved to kick some ass.

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.

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.

The Difference Of 1/2 A Pound.

half a pound

“Just 1/2 a pound.”

We at times seem to forget the power of compounding.

Darren Hardy the publisher of Success Magazine wrote the

amazing book “The Compound Effect” a book that I always recommend

to people going through a hard time accomplishing stuff in general.

this book is quite the handbook for change and accountability.

One 1/2 of a pound is a very significant amount of progress and

if you can manage to loose it consistently you are so far ahead few

will catch up with you.

All progress is significant and all progress is good.

Do not let small steps discourage you., instead push to make those

small steps the foundation of your major changes and accomplishments.

If you want to learn more about the book from Darren Hardy

The Compound Effect follow the link to my Kit.com page

and look at that and other books that will push you past

the real and made up limitations that we all have at times.

Wishing you lots of consistency and accomplishments.

Surprise!!!

DSCN2262

Has it happen to you?

As you cruise down the road of life

feeling that you have it all under control

when suddenly Whamooo there is life

throwing you a curveball.

It happens when we suddenly look at

the number on the scale and we get

a bit of a reality check.  OR

when we look at our bank balance only

to find that we have way too much month

at the end of the money. Anyway.

Surprises are just a breath away so we

must prepare in as much as we can for

those moments and take the teeth out

of their bite. NO we can not stop them

but we can prepare ourselves for them.

I do not know you personally but this I

can tall you about you:

You know what your situation is and

you know what your needs and wants are.

You know what your strengths are and also

your weakness so Deal With It. Deal With You.

Gang take care of business take care of you.

Let Them Talk.

worry about yourselfLet others worry and talk about whatever

they want. YOU on the other hand

must worry about you!

No one will do what it takes to make you

better and they shouldn’t.

“If it is to be it is up to me”

is the policy we must live by.

Clean eating, exercising, sleeping,

hydrating and all the other things we do daily

to keep us going benefit only us.

with that in mind make sure that you

are working on your goals (you have them right??)

Live better and longer by remaining

focus on the daily improvement of you as a

person and individual.

Keep fighting the good fight.

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.

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

to push for growth and continued progress

this post at the request of several

of my male followers.

One of my friends at the gym

had shared it with me probably

because of my lack of a back

Regardless.

Always AlwaysThe 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.

On Dreams.

dont folow your dreamsA dream can be that catapult that throws you

out of bed and onto the road to the gym or

for your daily walk.

A dream can also be that heavy rock that

takes your breath away when you realize

that you have not made it happen.

Regret for what we could but decided not to do

is a pain that we all have experienced at one

time or another.

Today in the here and now I decide

that my dreams are mine and worth the

effort. I want a better life. I want to loose the weight.

I have already too much that I regret and this

will not be one more thing.

Keep it close and personal. Keep those dreams

alive but as my father used to say: “Wake up

and go to work so your dreams can be reality”

Gang. Keep on keeping on.

COMMITMENT.

50% 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.

Will You, Will I Do What Is Needed?

Will You.

We visit again the fact that we, for the most part know what needs doing but are challenged by the actual doing. We know that WLS is a good tool but like any other tool it must be used to exploit and enjoy the results of it. So… Will we do it? Will we drink the necessary water, will we measure our portions, will we exercise. will we follow the program given to us?

We have the tool and the knowledge now we need the clarity of our goals and dreams and, we have those too. SO…………. Let’s go do it.

Not easy just very doable.

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.

With Me In Mind.

you are allowed to do for you

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.

Seattle

Seattle., One would be hard pressed to find a better

city to go for a walk. Hell just navigating the market

was a workout. I enjoy this city so much. there is

a lot to enjoy  there. One thing that threw me off

was the fact that smoking regulations are very strict

but everywhere I turned there was people smoking

pot. No I Do Not Have A Problem With People Indulging

but they would give dirty looks to people trying to enjoy

a cigi. Go Figure.

The weather was so great and I enjoyed my walks

and took plenty of pictures that I shared at the time.

I did enjoy some good clam shower but it was not

the best by any measure. Now the ambiance, the

ambiance was so great. I can’t wait for the next trip

there and hopefully it will be soon.

I have a plan for the perfect walk already.

Gang as we start another year do not forget to

make some plans to go somewhere new and interesting

and make sure there is something good to eat.

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.

Be Epic

you cant do grat things with average people

Two things to get out of this Pic. IF you intend on

doing and accomplishing Epic Stuff.

1.- Do not associate with “Basic People”

2.- Do not be “Basic People”

The wrong associations will keep you at the same

level at best or drag you down at worst.

The right associations will push you to grow and do

better. You will be challenged to stretch yourself

and that is why we must avoid “Basic People”

As you grow share so that those around you

continue to grow and expand.

Monday, Monday.

all you need is a 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”

What are your passions?

When you are the happiest what are you doing?

Who are you doing it with?

We talk so much about weight loss but

we must not forget those things that make us

who we really are.

One of my passions is Photography and I say

one of them because I am just as passionate about

traveling, eating, riding and writing.

All of this things give me happiness.

The mixture of this things define just as

much as saying “I am a male” or “I am Hispanic”.

Gang find those things that you enjoy and go out

and enjoy them. I added these pictures of my self

enjoying a “Picture Safari”

(Sorry I did not intended to scare young children)

We can not forget to live while we are here.

Remain Focus Stay Successful.

Scale Addiction.

forget the scale itNumbers can have tremendous power.

If we let them.

Numbers should serve the purpose of

inspiring and keeping us focus.

We can not allow a number to dictate how

our day will end or start.  BUT…

We can not allow either our whims and

moods to have a similar effect on us.

Weight loss with or without Weight Loss

Surgery (WLS) is a daily battle, a commitment

to a better, healthier life and as such it

requires planning, commitment and

execution. Plan your meals in advance,

make sure you are drinking the water,

when purchasing groceries keep in mind

your goal and limitations.

If you are past the surgery then you have

received all the training and instructions

to be successful. NOW Go Do It.

We are all in it so reach out if you have

questions or challenges.

All the best to you all.

I Guess I was A Junkie.

food is.jpg

It all begins and ends with food.

I know that some of my highest of highs and

some of my lowest of lows can be directly traced

to either a female or a meal. Go figure.

Food and eating can have a firm grip on what it is

that we can and will accomplish.

The addition of extra water and more

activities are always suggested when in the process of

starting or re-igniting a weight loss program.

Gang we must be in control of our monsters or

we will loose every time.

Here it is to us! The brave that confront the monster

of the pounds on a daily basis.

clear your mind

We are what we think of.

What will you be tomorrow? next week? next month?

Or the year to come..

We center on weight loss but the reality is that

the same approach can and should be used for all the

things in life that are important to us.

Please if you have not yet get a copy of the book or

audio book “the compound effect” there are answers there

for weight loss, money growth, peace in life, etc.,

Deny yourself the ability to think “I Can’t” and instead

add to your vocabulary the words “How could I’ and notice

the difference. The immediate difference.

Lets get more and more of what we want.

To continued growth gang.

If you want to learn more about the book

“The Compound Effect” take a look at my

recommended reading page

Do Your Part.

11dddd27bc74edfd0efdf19af450985b

This is not about religion. This is about FATE.

Do not forget to do your part to make

your dreams come true.

It is not about the relationship that

failed you or the “Friends” that were NOT.

This is about you doing what it takes

to make stuff happen.

We must stay focus if we wish to

remain successful.

Because life happens we must find and

figure out how to accomplish our goals

every day.

No days without a workout.

No days when we do not take our meds.

No days when we don’t drink the water.

No days when excuses win.

Gang we must and should live out

our plans.

There is always a way when we are

truly committed to the end result.

Stay focus stay successful.

Safari.

20151002_102633Well it has been quite busy as of late so…

It is time for me to plan a Photography Safari.

This is probably my favorite therapy and

I enjoy the creative process.

I still enjoy using film and I enjoy the

nuances of the different cameras.

I shoot Cannon and Minolta when using

film but I am staying with Nikon when

shooting digital.

I keep three separate set-ups because

what I shoot depends on my mood.

Photography is something that I enjoy

when not concentrating on  changing

the world or at least mine.

What do you do to unwind? How do you

forget about the mundane and

create space and time for you?

I want to lose weight and I want to

look better but I also want to  enjoy my

time and my passions. Every photography

setp-up includes a book I am working on

and a proper and decent pen plus a

note pad to capture thoughts of inspiration

that come whenever we allow them.

We all need this breaks and we all need to

know what it is that does it for us.

Walking, running, praying, crying I don’t know..

But whatever it is., use it.

Gang do not forget to live fully.

We only have one go around so make it count.

Breathe…

3a8e801ad8be1d1f21934c4eafb17bcfIt 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.

Warning!!!

ZERO TOLERANCE

We have limited resources. Patience is one of most scarce resources. When we are trying to win the battle., be it the battle of the pounds or the battle of the dollars or whatever battle you are involved in the last thing that you need is to be dragging behind you those that by choice, ignorance, stupidity or just plain LOVE attempt to hold you in place. Choose, choose and know that be it the reason it may you still need and should continue to make progress, you should continue to grow, you should continue to push towards your dreams. Do not give in and continue to work on a better you. Know that in the end it will be only you. Say no to HATERS, say no to DRAMA, say no to JEALOUSY but specially to BULLSHIT. Own your drams. Own your goals. Own you life. Toda as always I hope for all of the best for you . Jose G. Osuna http://www.lapbandformen.com
