Self Love.

Why we do what we do? I had to learn that while it was ok to continue to give to others and of my self., I had to find love to and for myself. It is not an egotistical journey but an adventure of discovery and self realization. I celebrate a pound lost or a size reduced. I am happy for an inch and happy for a ounce. I am happy to be doing better. Celebrate you progress. Because I am sure you will agree that not going back is progress in and of it self. Staying at the same weight for a long time is an issue but from one week to the next it just means that you were able to deal with cravings and temptations. Just Do Not Go Backwards. OK gang today as always I wish you all the best of the best. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Understanding.

What to do with those that do not understand our motives and in not understanding us or our reasons they undermine our efforts with comments and words and actions meant to derail us? I say: Let Them. But by allowing it lets not allow our selves to fall short of our dreams and aspirations. Let's continue to chase what we want and desire. Let's continue to chase the dream. Let's continue to follow our dreams and conquer our Goal. Let's Do It. Every Day. Jose G Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Eventually Good Things Come.

GOOD THINGS COME TO

I am happy to report that the last of my writing works is now finalized, approved, published and for sale at Amazon.
The first of a series of works on diverse topics ranging from food and cooking to life and living and I even tried to write about relationships but being that I am no expert on that department I quickly changed my mind and changed course.

Anyway…. My titles “El Sabor De Mi Mexico.” The Flavor Of My Mexico and “Sonoran Style Soups” By Yours Truly Jose G. Osuna has seen the light of day. This is a collection of original and authentic Salsa’s and soups made with nothing but fresh ingredients for those of us trying the whole “Clean Eating” but full of flavor for those looking for original flavors and textures.

It should have been done a long time ago but so many challenges got in the way health, geography, economical, worst health, etc., Regardless that was then and this is now. I hope you would please take a look at it and I welcome any ideas, criticism, opinions, improvements in particular just keep it original and authentic.

I am grate-full. I am so grate-full.

Jose G. Osuna

always something to be happy about

Capable!

you are 100%It is not just about weight loss.

You can and should change every aspect of your life

for the better. Learn new things, earn more money,

be healthier, have better relationships.

The decision is ours. We all want more and better

now the question is: Are we willing to pay the price?

Glorious work never settling for less than

what we can be.

Life’s Lessons

an arrowAre you NORMAL?

Because I am. I hate it when things don’t go my way.

I hate it when life and the universe don’t see my genius and crap all over my plans.

It is true that we learn more from the setbacks than from things going our way

but I still dislike it with a passion.

I have become better at dealing with set-backs but it still takes an active choice

not to get into an argument with nature, karma, God and every other force in the universe

when things don’t work out my way.

I also try not to waste the lessons of failure and set-backs and strive to get the

last drop of wisdom available to me. (all the while kicking and screaming)

So I ask you again: Are you normal?

Gang hope you are having an amazing week and as always

all the best of the best for you all and those important to you.

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.

Goals The Pathway For a Better Tomorrow.

Goals. When do you work on your yearly goals? There is no wrong answer for this UNLESS you don't write your yearly goals. Everyone has a different way or process to develop and evaluate your plans and goals.  I now am trying a new approach and it is to have my goals for the next year ready by the 15th of November well before the busy days of the holidays and end of year. Whatever your system is make sure you are making realistic, measurable goals for the year of 2015. All the best now and always to you all. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Changes And Challenges!

It is not just to know what to do as it is to actually DO. It is not the lack of dreams but the lack of action that keeps most of us stuck. Me just like so many others at my 48 years of age have found that it is indeed REGRETS what hurts most. It is the knowledge and understanding that what I wanted was right there for the taking and I did not take the adequate actions. I do not want anymore of those regrets. I do not want to look back anymore and continue to find holes and more holes on my dreams. If it is weight I want to work at it. If it is economical I want to try and conquer it.  I have a long way to go on many areas of my life and I am step by step pushing forward.  I am not different of better than anyone else I just am at a point where I have literally run out of excuses and have had an explosion of new dreams and new goals. I have not had anything published in years and had it not been for this challenging times I would probably not had published anything. I have the first of my works at amazon and more in the pipe-line and I have to say.... "Better published than perfect" I heard that quote in Entrepreneur On Fire and it just kicked my gut.  I do not know what it is that anyone else needs but you must find what it is that is keeping you stuck. Find it and destroy it. All the best wishes to you all and keep dreaming but make sure you wake up every day and work on fulfilling your dreams and hopes. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

I do not want anymore of those regrets. I do not want to look back anymore and continue to find holes and more holes on my dreams.

Negative People or….. A hidden opportunity?

do it

Are there people who want to see you fail? OR.. Are there people who do not want to see you succeed?
There is a difference. There is a big difference!
When someone succeeds they are showing the people around them what can be done with a little commitment and a little effort. OK maybe a big commitment and a big effort. Regardless. If it can be done it can be done period.
People who are comfortable in their surroundings and with their own selves will not welcome this exotic theory of new and exiting exercise doctrines. Yes I am being melodramatic. Give me a break.
What I am trying to say is that: Not everyone will welcome the challenge of changing their lifestyles. Not everyone will want to. And it is ok. BUT it is not ok for us. We want more.. We want better.. We want health.. We want longevity.. We want a better life..

That explains the madness of waking up early., earlier than Jesus and the Mexicans Which is pretty darn early trust me I am a Mexican Jew.

Going to the Gym and getting on the staircase that goes nowhere and weighing our food and drinking more water than your neighborhood camel.

We want more.. We Want Better.

Gang. Stay focused, stay on guard and try and do better.

It is that time of the year again bloggers.

This an opportunity for all of us who have

the writing itch.

This is a rather large community of writers

and aspiring writers that come together once

a year to bring new materials to life.

If you have an interest or even a desire to

create materials that could have an impact

or even just some thoughts that you want

to get out of your head give this group a try.

I do not claim to be a writer as you all know

English is not even my first language but I

enjoy the creative process and if you have

something that could make someone laugh,

cry or even better Think then you should consider

putting pen to paper ((Read finger to keyboard))

and let us read it.

If you have a writing itch that needs to be scratched

Visit:  nanowrimo.org and learn more about this.

Gang stay focus stay successful.

Inspiration.

b27a909cbc740083af53ffb9a36eb4b8

From the moment I first saw this picture of

E. B. White I truly felt it moving into my mind

and into my heart.

This image is a representation of what writing is for me

what I hope writing will make of me.

My wife is a writer and we find that for us

even though we write for others it is always

best when we are and write alone.

This blog post is a perfect example as I am

writing this before 5:00 am while the family is

still sleeping and all I can hear is the munching

and crunching of my ferrets as they have

a morning snack.

Writing like exercising is an activity that works

better when planned so gang make sure

that you have a plan and that you are

sticking to your plan.

By the way my wife is a way better writer

than I am but, but she can not bench press as

much as I can same with writing we are all different.

By The Way…

If you are or know a single parent please

share with them my wife’s series on that

topic. She has created a great resource library

that covers from how to save money to how to

deal with day care and obtaining health insurance.

Her e-books and materials can be found @ Amazon.

The series is

wife Amythest Osuna

Next Step!!

6 w'sOK. As I told you all my weight loss program

is working well and, while I have lots of training

and education in cooking and nutrition I have

to admit here that the main reason my success has

been these consistent and sustainable has been by far

the constant presence of my coach.

While our agreement was geared towards health

and weight loss we had to make some changes

to reflect the new scope we were heading towards.

I like to share and even though I have written a lot

I do not fancy myself a writer., even so I have been

published and have continued to work on my writing

specially in the field of cooking.

As my coach has been evaluating my progress she has

as kept track of my time utilization and project planning

that has given her a big picture of what I am up to and

what are some of my plans, ideas and goals.

Here would be a good place for me to tell you all that

I have not been employed since August the 31st 2011.

I call myself an entrepreneur and it has been

through Coaching and Real Estate that I have been

making a living.

My dream and phantom goal has been to dedicate more

time to my writing and it is here where my coach has

provided me with the “External View” and has help me

to find the time and inspiration to go after my goal.

I am at this point not only blogging daily but I am also

writing no less than 600 words per day Monday to Saturday

with a projected new book every month.

And, by the first day of next month I will up it to no less

than 1000 words per day with a projected two (2) books

per month. Very aggressive goals but that is what

happens when you obtain the help and guidance

needed to accomplish clear goals.

Gang. Where are you with your Goals and Dreams?

I am a coach and would love and opportunity to

be part of your success. I would do a very reduced

price series for anyone that approaches me from

our tribe here on word press.

I have been doing career and job coaching for

many years and I would gladly refer you to my

health and weight management coach should

you want some of the same results I am getting.

As always gang I wish you all the success you deserve

and I am here should you have any questions.
