GOALS

New Weight Tracking Form

The importance of GOALS.

Zig Ziglar Once said “With Out A Goal You will Miss Every Shot You Take”

We need something to shot for, and have in our minds a clear idea of what it is that we want, and where do we want to end at in our journey.

I promised on my last post that I would make available to anyone who “Asked” my goals and daily activity sheet, but as I thought about it I decided that I would just make it available on the blog so that I could make it easier for people to see and use.

I ask you to please look at it and if it works for you please by all means use it. BUT, please let me know what you think and maybe., some ideas as to how we can make it better so that we can together help others work on their goals.

Those of us that already had our surgery know that we had an idea, a goal, a dream of who and how we wanted to look at the end. I am not different or better than anyone else so I have made use of every tool I could get my hands on. This form is the result of me wanting to keep that idea clear in my mind, but also keep the accountability where it belonged: ON ME. I wanted to keep the dream alive and present.

If you see the guidelines that have been set for us maybe just like me you will say: “they are out of their bleeping minds”. I did. According to the American Dietetic Association I should weigh at the most 178 #’s being that I a male and I am 6 feet 1 inch tall. Yeah Right.

When I got down to 230 #’s I look like I was sick. Everybody was worried that I had contracted some kind of sickness or something. I felt great though. I think that the main reason I look “not good” was that I was not exercising or doing much activity. Now, I have learned and I want to get to and remain between 200 and 230 #’s. As I have increased my activity level I noticed that my face and body look better. I know by looking at my self and not paying attention to what anyone else says or thinks that I am on the right track.

People, please make sure that you have a goal in mind that is YOURS and no one else. Make sure that you are doing this for YOUR own reasons. Make sure that this process is something you are doing because YOU want it, and answer to YOU and only to YOU.

I have mentioned a picture. The picture that made me decide to take extra measures. I realized that I had let go of me, and I needed to fix me. I needed to bring me back.

I was sick and tired all of the time. I was in the worst shape of my life even though someone told me (trying to be funny) that round was a shape. So here it is.

I thank her for allowing me to post this picture. I do not know who should be more embarrassed, if I for allowing myself to get this big. OR her for being seen with me.

Guys we all have different reasons to do what we do so make sure that you have yours, and that they are important enough for you to always keep in mind and make you stay focused.

I will also add the form and hope that it will be of use to you, and that you will please post a message letting me and others know what it is that you think and how you think we can make it better.

I thank you, and I hope I was of help. The link for the form is at the top of this post.

About Support.

3xl-4xl-please-dont-feed-the-animals-democrats-republicans-00105299039

I do not know what your political views are

and I am not asking.  That said, I hope that

we all can be a little smarter during the

future elections cycle and identify with

candidates that represent US.

The past presidential election left very

clear that both parties royally screwed many

of its members and that is just not right.

Let us look for the right candidates and

give them our support. Let us refuse to be

sheep, Let us think and act like Americans

first, as citizens first. If the political parties

and the politicians are able to forget about

what is best for the people and the country

we can not. Make sure you vote and support

your candidates whom-ever they might be.

As for me., Not One More Red Cent To A Political Party.

Now let us get back to the battle of the pounds.

Stay focus remain successful.

Monday. We meet again.

snoopy mondayHave to admit it.

I Love Snoopy!!

That said: It is Monday and it is time

to go take care of stuff.

The fact that it is Monday means nothing.

Our goals and dreams do not take days off.

Make Mondays and every other day that

ends on “Y” count.

Gang stay focus and remain successful.

Truth And Reality.

One does not justCrazy how simple the truth sounds.

Hard as hell some times but always well worth it.

People think at times that those of us with a lap band

have an easier go at it but they are wrong as any one

with Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) will quickly tell you.

We must pay as much attention if not more to what we

eat, how we exercise, how much we chew, the amount

of water we drink, the way we take our meds, the extra

vitamins that we need to take, and on, and on, and more.

Regardless the temptations are there and there are real.

The desire for sweets or an extra portion of food is just

as real as it is for anyone else. WE just have an extra tool.

Never forget that a tool in order to be of help must be

used or it is irrelevant.

The decisions we make have an impact and we must

be ever vigilant as we can be as weak as anyone else.

One thing that we should do is always keep our goals

and dreams ever-present because that is the only

way that the what becomes more possible.

Never stop. Keep trying and continue to work on

your goals. Weight Loss, more money, a better relationship,

anything you want is possible if you pay the price.

Keep it present, keep it real, keep it possible.

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.

Choices. Today or Never.

3 choices.jpg

We all have choices.

Sometimes we make the wrong ones.

Most times it is there for us to make

the right choice.

The day by day choices are what say

what it is that we will accomplish and

it is us and only us who are responsible

for the results.

No one else to blame.

In the words of Tony Soprano:

“I have but my self to blame”

Gang let us make the right choices.

Let’s lose the weight. Let’s live a full

satisfying life. Let us make the right

Choices.

Travel Walks.

This is Charlston, SC

A great place to go for walks

and take pictures.

There is no rule that says

you have to walk in boring places.

I do not travel so I can walk but,

I totally enjoy walking after I made

a trip to wherever I happen to go.

Once we have committed to our

walk or our work-outs or whatever

it is that we do in order to stay healthy

or loose AND keep the pounds off we must

do it as we said we would.

Stay with it and see the results.

We know that most of this things are

easy to do but are also easy not to do.

We must stay focus in order to remain successful
