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.

Last Sunday Of November 2014


you have the power
This 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.

BELIEVE!!!


believe in yourself
It has been a while since I cared for what anyone else thought of me.

Now. I just listen to my inner self specially when it comes to

my goals, dreams and aspirations.

There are many who wish me well, but no one wants me

to be successful as much as I want it.

Set Goals, Go after them, Destroy them and REPEAT.

Forget about the doubters, and the haters., don’t waste

time on them that you can be using on making a Better You.

Let’s continue to kick it gang.

MAGIC DIET PILL !!!!!

What is the most important thing for weight loss?? Diet, Exercise, Activity, Attitude? It is all equally important I have found but, if there is something that I have seen make a difference in many of the people that I have known is the fact that they were committed. There are many experienced and educated persons like me out there that regardless of the knowledge and experience failed at the weight loss game. I trained people on weight loss and therapeutic diets so I knew better and yet I failed consistently. It was the lack of commitment to the weight loss that kept me from realizing my goal. Well Gang here it is the magic weight loss pill. Hope it helps. All the best to you all. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

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.

Make sure that you are constantly on the lookout for those who bring you down,

Those who don’t share your ideals and dreams, Those with negative words,

Those that don’t push you up or drag you to the finish line.

clearly identify them and then: Give them love  From A Distance.

Do not allow negativity in your world and maintain a positive outlook.

Choose Your Pain.

Everyone must decide.jpg

Truly, on this one there are two and only two pains.

Which one will you choose? Which one will I choose?

Life is intent on providing us with choices, and what we do with them

is up to us as individuals.

I know and know that I know I want more and better, but

at times I too have lost the battle to the blankets,

dessert was too pretty to pass and…… Here we are or

should I say here I am.

I am constantly making progress but at times that weak

little boy within me wants to rebel and do sh…. stuff he is

not supposed to.

Anyway gang when that happens we must immediately re commit

to our goals and get back in step with things.

Clarity gives strength. Knowing the why will keep us on track when other things try to de-rail our best intentions and desires. Figure out what it is that motivates you and keep it in mind. For some of us is health while for some of us it might be vanity and even for some it is a passion for life. There is no wrong answer just get your answer. Why Do You Do It? Why do you want to loose the weight? And once you know the why keep it ever present to give you strength on the moments that excuses sound good as if they were reasons. Keep focus and keep going.

The Healthies You!

I have a weight goal and it inspires me. I have a dream of wearing the same size pants that I used before I got married back in 1986. But I also am smart enough to know and notice how well my body works as I loose the pounds. The extra energy and stamina. I notice how I can sleep better and even breath better. I love that my back pain almost disappears and the purple color on my feet and ankles goes away. So yes a pounds goal and a size in clothes is nice but for me I have to say feeling so much better in my own skin is truly priceless. Find your why and rock on with your bad self!! Jose G.

EXCUSES VS RESULTS

Results VS Excuses

No one will diet for us. No one will work out for us.

No one will go on walks or runs for us. No one will drink the water for us.

If we want the results we must embrace our goals, and dreams and do the work.

Keep the dream alive and the goals ever-present.

Keep up the good work and as always all the best to you all.

You Have The Power!

you have the power

We have a God-given right to choose.

Our decisions impact our life and that of those around us family and friends.

All of the little and seemingly insignificant decisions we make day in and day out

have the cumulative power to change and affect our lives.

There is a book titled the compound effect by Darren Hardy Publisher of Success Magazine.

In it Darren shows us the power both negative and positive that each and every decision

we make, can make a difference on the quality of our life.

The extra glass of wine, the fun size chocolate packet, or the extra serving of ice cream

can add up to significant calories, grams of carbs, grams of fat whatever you want to track.

BUT, just as well taking the extra steps by parking a little farther, drinking an extra glass of water,

walking just a little extra, adding a set to our workout, using mustard instead of mayo, etc.

has an effect. What will it be? The positive or negative?

We have the power to decide, we have the opportunity to change our tomorrows and,

by doing that change our life.

Use your power for good., for good longer living.

Gang as always all of the best for you all.

Chest Workout.

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.

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

All things being equal doesn’t it makes sense to dream big?

It takes the same effort to dream crap than to dream championship.

Like my good friend tells me: “when it comes to the good in life

I want more., I always want more”

I guess I agree. I want more life, I want more health, I want more wealth.

I want to lose more weight, I want to feel much better.

I am ready to put my best effort to accomplish it as I know nothing

worthwhile is free.

How big are your dreams? How great your hopes.

A Good Bye.

 

The passing of a Friend or Friends.

Not too long I found myself at the lake of Davis Dam and

I realized that  it was going to be a bad day.

You see… My sandals that have been with me up and down the Caribbean

had seen their last day in the sun. Why is a pair of sandals so important??

Well it was a present from someone who would never again give me

even a glass of water. On top of that I have trekked up and down the

Pacific cost from South of Seattle all the way to Cabo, and the Atlantic

coast from North Carolina to the tip of Florida passing through South Carolina,

Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, California, Arizona,

Nevada, Sonora, Mexico. Sinaloa, Mexico. Baja, Mexico. Chihuahua, Mexico. St. John, VI,

Aruba, Barbados, Puerto Rico, etc, etc.,

I think you get the point.

I wish I had a Human Friend to have gone with me. None the least I will

miss my sandals.

Where have your travels taken you lately?

Let’s make life about getting better and enjoy what we have in front of us.

It is about living life to the fullest.

I gave my sandals a watery grave and went back home bare footed.,

floating on a cloud of memories. About 10 years of memories.

To Us. To Living.

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.

The Making Of Us.

 

7d57c2c0310407889ec48e290d6b2984

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.

On Changes.

diaper dietWE are the only ones that can truly impact our diet.

It requires change and a bit of desire.

If you had WLS you know you have made the investment

already, so why not use the tool you purchased?

Follow the guidelines, drink the water, measure the food,

take your meds, and make sure you are taking your vitamins.

Not rocket science even though at times it feels like it.

And, if you add activity and exercise you just turbo-charged

the program. so hang on and keep rocking it.

The Whole Picture.

Having the lap-band means that the amount of food we consume is significantly less and should therefore be of higher quality. We must pay closer attention to what we consume. We should also make sure that we are staying within the amounts that have been given to us. Another item we at times neglect is the taking of multivitamins daily. While I personally struggle with an items or two of the list I truly struggle with drinking enough water. Let's not forget that all aspects are important and for the most part one can not fully work without the other so while we want to make sure that we are consuming quality nutrients in the right amounts we shall also keep in mind that exercising and drinking plenty of water is equally as important. Stay focus, stay successful. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Success A Simple Approach.

S U C C E S S This is as good a KEY to success as any other I have ever seen.

I guess we continue with the theme of simplifying the process.

I like the way that things come together when we pay attention

to detail, and the little things.

It has been an eye opener to me ,having someone going right behind me

looking at what I am doing and how I am doing it.

It is a pain in the ass because she is also paying attention to

the things I am failing to do, but it is making me better as I progress

and move along the road to a better me.

Darren Hardy on his book the compound effect talks about

the benefits of tracking, and while I understood the concept

it was not one of my practices. Right now with the direction and

help of my Coach, I am getting much better at the whole tracking

thing, and I have found where I was paying a silly fat tax on some of

the calories I was consuming. Tracking has also helped me find

time that I can use to work on some of my other projects, and I have

another book almost ready to go to my editor.

Ok gang let’s continue to work on our better selves and

keep on keeping on.

What Am I?

consistent andWhat we do we must do first and foremost for ourselves.

This is a competition within us. We are trying to be better than

we were yesterday. Yes the fruit of our work and efforts will result

in benefits for our family and loved ones but we must keep

in the words of the great Stephen Covey:

” We must keep the main thing., the main thing.”

With that in mind we move forward in creating the best

version of ourselves possible.

Stronger, healthier, better.

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.

Looking back at many of my posts and many of the blogs that I follow I noticed that we all have set backs. I noticed that we all had plateau patches when we were stuck for periods of time. I noticed also that at times food and the warm bed won over our commitment to work on our weight loss plan. BUT.. I also noticed that when we re-committed to our goals we made amazing progress. This shows that were we to remain 100% committed 100% of the time this weight loss thing would be a done deal. BUT as someone who has failed at times I acknowledge that it is hard., possible but hard. We must have a plan. We must work plan. We need to have goals and they need to be ever present. And we must remain 100 % committed to ourselves. That is how we accomplish and conquer. Let's keep up the good work. All the success to you all. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

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

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.

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

Forward Movement.

after a whileWe make decisions on daily basis., some are easy and

some are NOT.

Evaluating the people, decisions and circumstances that

made us who and what we are and, put us where and how

we find ourselves now is a must.

But that just like most experiences must be used to make the new US.

There are people who influenced us for good or bad and it is ok.

Let’s just now use our knowledge and experience to move forward

keeping the right people around us. Those that were there and did not

let go of us.

Let’s evaluate our actions and decisions of the past and learn

from the bad decisions but also celebrate the good ones.

The past is gone and nothing can be done about it.

The future however is right there ripe for the taking.

Do Not Waste Another Day Or Even Another Minute.

Go Make You Tomorrow Happen.

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.

Funny Fact On People.

Funny how people

The moment that someone decides to stand outside

of the circle there is always someone to try and drag him

or her right back in.

I have noticed that with weight loss is even worst than

with money or even relationships.

People do not take kindly of friends loosing the pounds.

The first criticism comes as a direct attack of your diet

which ever diet it happens to be.

Then if you dare have any success get ready for the

attack on your appearance. It seems like immediately after

you loose a pound or two you become the living image

of the walking dead or at least that is what folks will tell you.

Remain focus and centered and keep doing what you must

to get to your desired goal.

It is not for them., it is for you.

For continuing the process I salute you all.

On Weight Loss

DSC_0036

If I needed to describe weight loss

in one picture this comes to mind.

It doesn’t has to be and maybe

we know that it shouldn’t be.

But reality is that since it deals

with wants and dreams and desires

and emotions and many a trime

hormones and sweet breads well…..

it tends to be a bit like a rollercoaster.

I find that the best way to avoid this

is to really get to know what my weak

points are and work on them.

I know what time I can not go to walmart

or safeway why?? because they bake fresh

bread and I can not resist it.

I know what restaurants to avoid when

I am really, really hungry because I will

blow my diet.  You too have weak points

like I do so work on finding them and then

go to work on finding ways around them.

it is within us to defeat the rollercoaster

we just have to put in the work and it

will work.

Gang stay focus remain successful.

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.

Let’s go for it.

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.

Keep it present, make a difference.

Please if this serves you or entertain you

share the love and post it to any of the

Media services below. I thank you.

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.

Keep Working Today On A Better Tomorrow.

Inspiration.

 definition of hellIn Case we needed more inspiration.

The thought of this happening scared the

sleep out of my eyes for two nights.

How frightening to realize that we have failed

to use all of the options life had for us.

Let’s do the best we can now and always.

Crap.

but there are basic items that we all know

Cry Fat Cry!

Screaming Fat.

Yes. We have and need some fantasies as we are working out.

I really want to hear fat and calories scream as they are burned and destroyed.

This one of the things that I think about on my daily 4.5 mile walk.

Have a great day you all.

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.
