Last Sunday Of November 2014


you have the powerThis is the last Sunday of November.

Have you written your goals for the next year?

Take it for a test drive. Write your goals and keep them present

all year-long and see if your life does not changes completely.

Make economic goals, Work on them and see if you do not end up better.

Make health goals. See if you don’t end up healthier.

Make weight loss goals. Your scale will thank you. It works.

Go to you tube and search Jim Rohn on goals setting, then search

Tony Robbins on life goals and there you will see the blue print for

goal setting. If you want to go the extra mile and have a month,

get and read the book “The Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy

and see your life transform, and improve.

Gang I can wish you all the best till I am blue on the face,

but it will take you putting some action for the good to come.

Hey.. If you can,  give yourself a Christmas gift and get you

a subscription to Success Magazine.

Feed your mind the good stuff and your life will reflect it.

Let’s continue to feed our mind and body with only the best.

More To Life.


904e03b8a0610d88ff54729a80546fe4Last year around this time I hit us rather hard

with the whole goal setting thing and, I still think

that it is most important. BUT I also want to say

that life is more than just working out and worrying

about our weight. It is more than counting calories

and evaluating water characteristics.

Gang there are friends and family and hobbies and

countless books that also require our attention.

I was looking at my e reader and I have about

400 books. (yes amazon loves me) I noticed that

I had 46 book in progress meaning I had started

and had not gone back to as of yet.

I Love Photography. A lot., and if I could I would

hit the trail with my camera and just hit the shutter.

I miss quiet times with a good book and the

walks on the desert or trails up in the mountains.

We have to be about more than just weight loss.

Yes let’s try to be healthy always but let’s also

remember to be present in the moment.

Hey gang if you have any pictures that you feel

particularly proud of would you send them to me

I love to look at other folks pictures.

You can see many of my pictures at my Weebly

photo blog at:  www.josegosuna.weebly.com/

A couple of things for you to know if you are going

to that blog 1.- Please bring your sense of humor

2.- Not all the pics there are mine. 3.- If something

offends you please just move to the next item.

But really there are some great materials there.

If you go there the first photo you will see is of me

so if you are brave enough go check it out.

Again if you would like to share some of your pics

Please send your pictures to me privately at:

lapbandformen@gmail.com or you can share

them publicly here at the blog.

I thank you very much and hope that

we are serving and entertaining you.

I Did Not Change.


i did notThere is a process to what we go through.

We dream, evaluate, plan, act, hope then act some more.

But more importantly… We define ourselves.

What we do in the process of all this is

very basic  We Find Ourselves.

Make sure your goals are big enough

that they scare you a little.

Gang let’s keep at it. Stay Focus Stay Successful

Temptations Come

DSC_0516

At the beach in Rosarito, Baja Mexico

Snacks on wheels.

Yes this is at the beach in Mexico.

If I am at home in Rocky Point or if I am at home in Rosarito

in Baja this candy store on wheels comes directly to you, on the

beach, with all kind of sweet or salty or spicy or any combination

of the three flavors that you can think of.

So if you like me like to get up early and go for a walk on the

beach before your morning coffee to get you started,

avoid this guys not because they are evil but because they

have all the temptations on one supped-up wheel barrow.

All joking aside we must be aware as best as we know of what

is waiting for us outside our door. I know that while in Mexico

I must be aware of the bakery shops. They use Crack in their stuff..

No they don’t but who can say no to a “concha” or an “oreja”, when

you have a great cup of coffee on hand and a whole empty hand

just begging for you to grab a piece of bread or two.

So I go for my walk and immediately take my happy butt back home

and have a good breakfast, then I can contend with the street vendors

and the bakery shop mafia.

The more we know and the better prepared we are the better our

chances for success.

Guys do not forget just how much we have to do to burn 100 calories

Don’t mess it up with empty food or useless fluids. Make every calorie count.

Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.

Keep At It

don't let.jpg

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.

Gang: Keep Focus Stay successful.

Low Endurance, Huge Clothes.

I remember this things all too well and

know that I do not want to go back to them ever again.

This is a journey that has proven to be a lonely one and

I am ok with that because I know that it is not for everyone.

I do not know what is your “WHY” but make sure it is a strong,

valid, significant, and inspiring  “WHY” to you

because that will keep you inspired and on task.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Making Progres.

1016666_770016309749330_3025759844956139055_nEvery step counts. Every decision matters.

Gang., we make or break goals with our actions

or the lack of. We know what we want and

we know why we want it. Then why the heck

is it so hard at times? Why are we so weak

that innocent chocolate and delicious pizza

can whip us into submission.

I don’t really know and I tell you I have given

it a lot of thought.

What I do know is that I will try again and

again until I win. Sooooo  the question is:

Will you try with me? Will you rinse and repeat

when needed and try again with me?

I hope so. I will be here.

On Resolutions.

If you made a new year resolution to exercise or lose weight

or lead a healthier lifestyle make sure that you KEEP IT.

Gang. Let’s not be average because the average person is broke and

they do not keep their commitments.

We all want more and better, the trick is that it does not come free

or with-out work.

Let’s pay… NO let’s enjoy the price

of a better more rewarding life.

I am here with you pushing and kicking it.

Ceiling.

Dont everEvery day we compromise. We give in a little

and before we know it we have gone too far.

It is not just in the giving but also in the taking,

and accepting that we can find our life taking turns

that we had never plan or even considered.

We must stand resolute in what we want.

We must remain focus and centered so that

our hopes, dreams, and goals stay in the place

they deserve.

Our life is worth of us showing up with our

“A” game. It needs our total and complete

commitment so eventually we can look back

at an imperfect but complete road and be able

to say with pride “Wow, What a ride., I did

the best I could and I am ok with me”

Gang. I am today sending you good vibes.,

I hope truly for all the best for each and

every one of you.

to get to where we are and make sure that we are

protecting the progress and success.

We must be ever vigilant and make sure that we continue

taking the basic steps to maintain our progress.

Drink water, remain active, watch the portion,

take you meds, take your vitamins you know the drill.

This is a change in life and not a band-aid on a small cut.

This is our life stay focused, stay healthy.

Don’t You Quit!!

crawlingBecause quitting is not acceptable

we plan our work and work our plan.

We look into the future through our dreams

and hopes and we know what the value

of our weight loss is.

We want to live a longer, healthier

life and we want it to mean and stand

for something.

Gang. Let us not forget our dreams

and hopes., let us continue pushing and

working as all of our hard work and

diligence will show up in a better quality

of life that we get to share with our

loved ones.  (whether they want it or not 🙂 )

Don’t quit, Don’t ever quit.

Attitudes.

1457712_735144046514425_1918118794_nThis is the attitude we need

when dealing with negative, insensitive,

ignorant people.

It is human nature to allow others to

have influence in us.

If “they” are not walking day by day

in our shoes with our ups and downs,

our challenges and battles., their opinions

mean only what we allow them to be worth.

Don’t give-up that much power to anyone.

And to my friend in the Carolina’s I say

You can do it, you are worth it, YOU DESERVE IT.

Be The Best.

Be the bestThe best version of ourselves is the one

that is created every day as we deal with life.

Setbacks and triumphs influence us and both

should be opportunities to learn and grow.

Good or bad we keep on keeping on.

Mindset.

FB_IMG_1443964113944How important is Mindset?

I have learned that in the weight loss

game it is central if we want to  truly

make progress. I have also learned that

with out the proper mindset weight gain

will always be the result.

Find your Why and keep it present, that

will begin the ball rolling to obtain the

proper mindset.

Do not give up, Do not ever give up.

It is Friday., Now What?

work for itIt is FRIDAY.

Gang.. The work does not stop because of the weekend.

Stay focused and continue to do the right things even add something new.

Adding even a little activity every day compounds the calories burned.

Drinking more water helps with the expulsion of impurities.

Starting a new routine would get you out of a rut.

Let’s not lower our guard even for a moment as we know that

we are fighting an enemy that never stops.

Much success to you and all those important to you.

A Walk Of Perspective.

066.JPG

If you want to see just how small

our problems really are go for a walk

on the mountains.

Talk about getting some perspective.

This picture was taken somewhere

up in the Arizona mountains. NE of

Phoenix. I know that my mind was

heavy with issues and this trip help

me get some perspective.

Things will happen and how we react

will have a huge impact on everything.

I know my reactions have affected my

health, emotional stability, stress levels,

and so much more that I, and you should

know better but it don’t always works that way.

I guess what I am trying to tell you gang

is that in order to protect ourselves and

so be able to be the best we can be,

we must “kind of” stop every now and then.

Think before reacting.  And yes some times

Shut The Heck Up.

Gang let us do the best we can for all but

specially for ourselves.

You’ve Got IT.

you ve gotWhat is “IT”

For each of us “IT” is a different thing and

the key is to figure out as early in the game as possible

what “IT” is for you.

The clearer the picture of who we are, where we are going,

why we are going there and what we are willing to do in order to

get there will prove invaluable when the setbacks hit and they will.

Gang Keep the why ever-present and continue to work

on your goals and dreams.

Get Addicted

addicted to runIt doesn’t have to be running., It can be any activity

we get involved with. Walking, swimming, running, crossfit, etc.,

The feeling after keeping our physical commitments is great.

Figure out which activity would work for you and your schedule and

try to stick to it every scheduled day.

For me is walking and I walk well over 4 miles but

I know that the weather has been winning the battle as of late.

I sure do miss it.

Gang we are all  different and because of that it is that us and only us

can figure out what activity is the one that  will work for us.

Help your Lap Band do it’s work and see the results.

About Choices.

choicesAs we start the year we are confronted with choices.

What will we decide. I truly don’t know but I know that it is

my goal to have the best and more kick ass year ever.

Will I do it? Will you?

Gang… Stay focused on your goals and dreams.

Put them in paper so you can refer to them often like:

In the morning before you start your day and at night

before you go to bed.

Here it is to us.. May we make the right choices.

I hope you all had a chance to set goals for

this new year 2018. Use them as your road map.

Push yourself to the max and grow.

Again., it does not have to be about just one thing.

Enjoying The Process.

keep cookingI had a visit with my Coach.

She pissed me off by being right once again.

She reminded me of the part I took in re-gaining almost

a hundred pounds yes that is 100 pounds.

She tells me “you did not just trip and fell a top 100 pounds worth

of fat and food., it was an active choice of putting in your mouth.,

more food than you should have.”

“It was not something that happened in a day or two so stick to

the program day in and day out and you will see the progress”

She is right and I know it I am just not the most patient of guys

and I hate being told what to do (I am sure I am the only one.).

But the fact remains that with her help I have already

lost several pounds and did it faster.

She is helping me reconnect with my passion for cooking and

using better techniques and better ingredients that will in the

long run help me maintain my weight loss.

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.

Healing.

DamageSad but we all have something within us that

at some point and time controlled or at least

affected our life or the ability to enjoy it.

By developing our daily routines we strengthen

our selves not just physically but also spiritually

and with that we can move on towards a better

series of tomorrows.

Keep your goals and commitments present.

Go for your walk and do your exercises

as you said you would., and follow your diet too.

Learn to keep your word., to others but more importantly

To Your Self.

Our project is our life and body and both are

within our grasp to improve or mess up.

Gang we can and we should.

Doing More.

amount of work we do or don’t.

I see this picture and I see months

and months of work and determination.

This person made himself special in

equal relation to his commitment and

fundamental desire for more and better.

We all have the ability just not the commitment.

So I ask you both male and female readers

Why not us? I know I do not look like that.

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.

Reasons.

50 reasons to excerciseAll we need is one or two reasons and

a commitment to better health and a better life.

The thing is that commitment is not an easy

to get condiment. We have to actually love

ourselves more than we enjoy sleeping late.

Love ourselves more than that extra piece of pie.

Love ourselves more than……

What is our excuse?  Because the sooner

we figure it out we can make some progress.

We can become the best version of us there is.

Centered Approach.

different-diet-cartoonBecause each of us is so different

we must figure out what works for us.

By not having a centered approach

we can miss out on the opportunity

to find the ONE thing that actually

could be a game changer.

I made it clear that my approach was

low carb, high protein, low sodium

and low-fat diet and the reason is

very simple to me: It Works For Me.

This was not about fancy advertisement

or a good-looking person on TV. I tried

many of the other diets and none of them

did it for me. This one did. NOW!! I am NOT

telling you to do the same but, what I am

telling you is that you should look and work on

finding the one that works for YOU.

I have purposely not used diet or product

names because I do not want you to assume

quality or efficiency on any of them. I want

for you to go and try so you can find on your own

the right one. POINTER  It all starts with you.

Figure you out and you will win.

YOU are worth it so please stay with it.

The Evil Monday!

Today is a new begining monday

On Monday’s and other necessary evils.

We all know that for a new start every day

is a good day.

I like Monday’s… Yes I said it. I like Monday’s.

It is a clean slate with endless possibilities and

I want to take a shot at it. I want to do what others

do not because I want what others can’t have.

Be weird with me. Let’s make it count.

This day and every day is a great chance for a

fresh start or a new goal.

Happy Monday to you all and do not forget

to drink the water, measure the food, increase the

activity, take the meds and do not forget the

vitamins. All of this is part of the picture.

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.

Tracking / Journaling

BzbzjvrIIAAvcQ8While I have always been a fan of journaling

my coach has made me take it to the next level (or two).

Being able to access this information has given me

the ability to more easily identify areas where time

or effort is being wasted so that adjustments can be made.

the other side of the coin is that the areas where I am doing

good can then be reinforced to make a bigger impact.

Both Jim Rohn and Darren Hardy have amazing materials

that show the impact that journaling can have in our life

regardless of what goals you are working on.

On his book “The Compound Effect” Darren hardy shares

how he has used tracking / journaling to improve on

relationships, money, weight loss and friendships in general.

Us here are working on improving our health and reducing

our weight so that is what we should concentrate on.

In the past I have made available a form I use for all my

tracking and I am going to attach it to this post for anyone to

download it if interested I just ask that if you find a way to

improve it please share your ideas and thoughts also,

If you are interested in the materials from Darren Hardy

 or Jim Rohn take a look at my page on Kit.com by going to

kit.com/lapbandformen I have kits for photography and

self growth materials.

Gang it is possible to grow and do better so lets use all the tools

at our disposal and make today better than yesterday.

This is the link to the tracking form I mentioned and developed:

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

Diet & Gym

Diet is #1We all know that one without the other negates some results.

Because we are all different we must find what works for each

and every one of us.

I personally follow a low carbs, low-fat, low sodium, high protein diet.

That said it does not mean that I do not

eat vegetables. I don’t much care for fruit but vegetables

I do enjoy. I like a fresh salsa with my chicken and meats.

I like mashed cauliflower with most anything.

I like spinach made the Greek way cooked in olive oil

with tomato and onions.

The great thing about my diet is that I can eat larger

quantities while I am dealing with my dislodged

gastric band.

You can find recipes for salsas you can use to

spice and give variety to your meals in my book

“El Sabor De Mi Mexico” for sale at Amazon.

I am working on a free sale for that book as

I want to give you all a copy of it.

Gang. Keep on Keeping On.

Life And It’s Pleasures.

be in loveYou Know That Moment When:

You get on the scale and smile.

Get those jeans from the back of the closet

and they just feel and look like you remember.

Get the thumbs up from your Doctor.

And even more important when you see

“That” look in your significant other’s eyes.

Yes life is good.

Hey we have the power and the opportunity

to make it happen and to have those

experiences that will change and define

our tomorrows.

WLS is an amazing tool and we have it OR

are thinking about getting it.

Use It. Change Your Life.

All the success to you in this and everything.

Working On Me.

body under constructionIs it just me or, at times it seems harder to convince

our minds to get a “Move On” that it is for our bodies

to feel ready and up to it.

I noticed on my last visit to the gym that my mind

tried all the way through my work out to convince me

with many rather creative arguments that we should

just pack it up and go back home.

I am telling you all that I have long tiring arguments

about religion, politics and history and never have I

encountered a more determined adversary than

my own mind.

Quite a learning experience and I used a technique

an old trainer of mine thought me back in Mexico when

I was into competitive weight lifting.

He said “Win one battle at a time., first get up then

get out after that just get to the gym., Then is when it

will get interesting he said. One routine after another

and then and only then when you are done you can agree

with your reluctant mind and go home.

Never forget that every battle counts and you should fight

to the end and never ever give up because also, every

time you loose the battle it counts., it counts against you.

Nothing but winners here so gang let’s keep on keeping on.

Also if you think yourself a winner or a fighter go find

the podcast “every day is Saturday” by my very good

friend Sam Crowley. Very good and inspiring stuff.

Choices.

choicesThe way I see it if my Coach hits me with “Choices”

I share the theme with you.

From the moment we get up… No.. From the moment

we wake up we are confronted with choices and options.

What attitude will we have,  What mood will we bring with us,

Will we follow our diet,  Are we working-out,

Are we going for our walk. Are we……….

We have choices the question now is:

What will we do?

Use our choices to be better or….

Have our ass handed to us for being weak.

Crap.

crapEating clean does not mean going all crazy

but there are basic items that we all know

we must avoid.

This is the bet acronym I could find to

show this.

Keep it simple, keep it real.

Basic No More.

you cant do grat things with average peopleWho wants to live a basic life?

For those of us on this race we know that we

are trying to live life to the fullest and

the least of our thoughts is to have a

better today and tomorrow than our

yesterdays.

It is clear that weight loss helps improves

the quality of life.

I have all this dreams and desires that I want

to see come to pass and because

I might  or not have the time and health

I want to make the most of every day.

Keep the basics in mind every day

measure your portions, drink the water,

increase the activity, plan your exercise.

We know what we need to do so now let’s

go and do it.

Gang let’s make every day count.

Suck It Up!

Once we decide on a plan of action the motion should only be forward and when we decided to have WLS a lot got in motion. Now, it is up to us that the motion continues and it continues forward. Follow the program It Works. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Simple Rules.

4 simplel rulesWhile nothing in weight loss is simple even with Weight Loss Surgery

it does not help when we make things overly complicated.

In trying to explain to my Coach what my system is in selecting

my food items she promptly noticed and shared with me areas

where I might be over complicating my efforts.

Yes we want to have exact portions but a close enough

portion when eating out is good enough and we know based

on our prior experience what is a proper portion.

Exercise or activity is easy enough to track and now with all the

technological possibilities when our phone can as easily count our

steps and calories burned there is no reason not to have a rather

accurate idea of where we are at the end of the day.

Tracking is also possible with a multitude of free apps for both

android and iPhone products.

Since my next big challenge is tracking I am going back to using

the form I had developed and should it be of help to anyone else

I am giving it for free to you at the end of this post.

Please take a look at it and see if you can find a way to improve

on it I am no spread sheet genius so you will not offend me if

you can help me make it a better one.

My Coach keeps telling me that if I do not record it it din’t happen.
