And another year ends while a new one starts. I find myself frustrated with the progress made last year and, as I look at the start of 2022 I see all this possibilities. do not let the shortcomings of yesterday rob you of the promise of tomorrow. Time to get up and make some shit happen.
All the best for you and yours.
Do not
It seem that as of late I have been asked way too many times:
“What Made You Decide To Change?”
One day, I just decided that no one person or no one situation
would ever have so much power over me.
I decided that those friends who continually tell you I will pray for you
but never offer you a coin when broke or a piece of bread when hungry
have no true and vested interest on us.
That if it had to be it was up to me, therefore I promised my self never to
ask another “Don’t let go of me.”
That I am worth it not because of me but because of the one who created me.
I realized that I wanted and deserved a better, longer, healthier and happy life.
That a failed relationship did not preclude me from finding love again.
That having been overweight did not mean that I was to stay that way.
That loosing my position, and wealth only meant that I had something else coming.
That there would be someone who would take and accept me as I was, and to whom
my struggles and challenges would not be a deal breaker as they made their presence felt and,
carried some of the load and at times all of the load so that I did not have to face the world alone.
Because I had those that did pray but, they did not pray for me…They prayed with me.,
a lot has changed and my life now reflects it.
NO. Prayer in any form is not bad or unwelcome, but I remember what my parents taught
all of us as kids: after we pray on our knees we get up and go and pray with our hands, feet
and backs so we can do our part in making ours and other people’s miracles a reality.
I am thankful., oh so thankful for the many kindness I have received during the last couple of years.
I know that I have a purpose and if I have a day or a hundred years
I will work every day and in some way re-pay all that was given to me.
I want more. I want better.
I want health, wealth and a family
And that is why my prayer is never for things to be given to me,
or for life to be easy, and not even for many friends.
All I ask from GOD is for my loved ones to be healthy and safe,
and for me, Peace of mind.
With that I can and will take care of the rest.

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.

I do not know whose work this picture is but I owe them a huge THANKS.
In as much as I love life and living I noticed that as of late I have stopped
enjoying many of the things that give me pleasure. I have quit doing
the little things that make me tic and toc. I have put many ahead of me
and my happiness and my peace of mind and I need to scale back and
give ME a little more.
Yesterday for instance I packed a camera set and went out. Alone.
I have not done that in ages. Not like that I have not. And I enjoyed it
I took some pictures that otherwise I would have never been able to get
because they would have inconvenienced the other person with me
and I just wouldn’t have done it. I enjoyed it.
I am planning on going to a public library in a day or two. Just to sit
on the floor with the classics and breath. I miss Byron and Whitman
and JK Rowling.
Gang in the process of making a better us let us not forget to live
a life worth living. Yes, let us give and be part of life and society but
in the end there is you and me and we matter just as much.
Do not forget what it is that makes you. And go and enjoy it. Alone if
you have to, with someone if you have them, just go do it. Do not forget:
“There is more to life than to watch others living it”

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.

look when I get to their age.
You see gang, this is doable and available to us all

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.

There are times when I get the biggest charge
out of a visit with Mr. Punch Bag.
At times, it is not about exercise or burning
calories, and it turns into plain and simple therapy.
At times, I admit I might make Mr. Bag pay for
the silliness, stupidity and shortcomings of others
and myself as well.
All aside I do enjoy how I feel after a session with
the bag and I find that when done properly I use my
whole body and the workout is great.
For those of us with a Lap Band, exercise should be
an intrinsic part of our days in order to keep, and add
to our weight loss numbers. Also, it helps maintain
our weight loss rhythm.
Gang when you don’t have a whole lot of time
try a session with the bag and see how effective
it can be.
Stay focused stay successful.

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 an 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.
Stay focus remain successful.

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.

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 who I have known, is the fact that they were committed. There are many experienced and nutrition 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.

This is Jon Hamm. He is one of the guys I admire
a lot. He takes care of himself and looks great always.
I love motorcycles and hope to one day look that cool
on one. Nothing like hitting the road, getting on the wind.
The other thing/experience that feels good is when you
get on the scale and it gives you the numbers you want.
I recently got on the scale and did not like what I saw.
I got on the program again and I have already lost 6 pounds.
I am at 59 #’s from my goal. I will make it. I will make it soon.
Gang as you might have noticed I have not post as regularly
as I am used to, but I am back and will get back on track.

Wow!
I have heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. How many calories is this picture worth?
We should take a look at this when we are having second thoughts about our diet, our exercise, our walk, our run, and all those little things we do in trying to lose the weight.
Until the next one and in the mean time keep up the good work.

I love and enjoy photography.
Reading the message in the photo made me
think of taking photos with film, we get one chance
and we best not waste it because it is gone.
In some ways it is the same with life, opportunities
and adventure come and if we are not aware
the chance is gone.
Weight loss is also like that. We make many
small decisions and if we are not aware it is easy
to mess up. My mother told me many a time:
“Nothing is as easy as being mediocre”
I ask you not to be mediocre. I hope my efforts
keep me from being mediocre.

Carbs. Is there anything more scary
to many dieters?
I, myself am on a low carb diet, but I
am not letting that rule the whole of
my process and weight loss efforts.
There are times when I need or want
something and I get it. I know that want
as I might at times I either want, need, or
deserve a treat, reward, or fix and I do not
deny myself. I have however learned to
differentiate a one time thing from a whim.
Keeping goals and priorities present helps
to limit the number of exceptions and that
is always a good thing.

I laugh every time I see this.
But, it is also worth taking a moment
and thinking about what in our lives
we can actually change.
I do not want to be overweight, and even
though it is a hard up-hill battle I stay at it.
I want to reduce the risks of high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes, and more
I am genetically vulnerable to thanks to family history.
Those are things I can do something about. I can watch
my weight, control what and how much I eat,
have a plan and work the plan.
If we have friends and family, we owe it to them,
and ourselves to take better care of our health.

While I am all for going forth and taking
any and all the necessary extra steps, I also
believe that we should take any breaks and stops
needed for us to remain sane and centered.
To be successful full effort and commitment
should be put forth but attention should be paid
so we do not destroy by over-doing.
Take a break every now and then.
Go somewhere and enjoy something.
To me there is no better place than the beach,
and no better time than sunset. Talk about a magic
cleansing moment. Perspective I guess.

With my young kids now, it is the water. River, Ocean,
beach, lake. We all love the water.
My wife and I continuously look for excuses to take
day trips, and weekend trips, and any trips we can.
I then insert my walks and my work outs as best as I can.

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 lose 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. Osuna
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.

It is more about being committed
than about being male of female.
It is more about wanting IT than
not wanting other things.
It is more about changing,

It is about wanting more rather
than settling for less.
In the end; it is about a better
way of living.

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.
Jose G. Osuna
We need to be about it now just talk about it.
It is easy to talk, but it is in the doing that
the changes and progress happen.
For those of us with the Lapband® the process
needs adjusting a bit. We must drink the water,
measure our portions, take our vitamins, always,
always remember to take our meds, chew twice as much,
remain active with the support groups.
For those that think that getting a lapband or any other
Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) makes things easier
we have some news: It Doesn’t!
Regardless we are all in this together so:
keep on keeping on.
Success will come to those that stay focused.

Want to see more of the day to day? Join us.
Success belongs to the one that puts the work
and pays the price. Then why? I ask of you.,
is it that we want to (at times) leave things for tomorrow? I believe in hard work. In commitment and keeping the goal and dream in mind.
And when success comes, and it will. I want for us to shove our success
down the haters throat.
Well you might be nicer than me but as for me
I just want to show them that the more they doubt
me, the more I want to prove them wrong.
In the end to hell with all the naysayers and
let us rock on with success and better health.
Keep pushing and keep working your plans.
When you do that success is inevitable.
Stay focus remain successful.

Want more of the day-to-day? Join us. Take a LOOK.
Why is it that we trust “Tomorrow” so very much?
Not a single day is guaranteed to us but continue
to trust, and leave for tomorrow that which we
should absolutely take care of today.
Every day wasted. Every day we put the diet, water,
medicine, exercise, and so much more will never be
given back. It is past and wasted.
It is our decisions that will make a difference.
If we want health and a better quality of life, then
we must pay the price. Take the medicine, drink the water,
exercise at least three times a week, walk as much as you can.
Do it all, do some, do something, and see the results.
It is within all of us. It is real, and it is possible.
Let us go out every day and try to be more, better.
Wishing each and everyone an amaZing always.
Stay focus remain successful.

WE 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.

Because I am human I have been imperfect.
There came a time when I painfully learned that.
Yes… I never thought I was wrong or at fault. Ever.
The process of living and learning impacted simultaneously
my personal, professional, physical, and social life.
After many mistakes, and even more falls and stumbles
I feel I have made some even if small progress.
One of the things I have worked diligently on; is the
development of exercise and activity routines that
“Work For Me”. As soon as I ascertain this all kind
of experts, critics, and caring by-standers began to
attack and criticize. I have ignored them as when
I followed my routines there is always progress.
I guess what I am trying to tell you all is that you
should pay attention to the things that work for you,
and continue to use them in as long as you make
progress. Do not be blind to expert advise but no one
knows you better than you.
Keep your goals and dreams ever-present and
you will accomplish what you desire.
Stay focus and remain successful.

I have been feeling itchy feet the past couple of weeks.
Even though I am currently traveling I feel like it is not
far enough, interesting enough, good enough.
I miss California today. It is there where I can have
good Mexican food for breakfast and pick up sushi, good,
good sushi at the grocery store and then later hit the Pho
joint for dinner.
I am in a part of the country where the flavors and the traditions
are supposed to be great but I still find the food wanting.
Hot, Spicy regardless is no great achievement. (sorry)
While we have found great people in our travels food is still
below what I have found in rural areas of Mexico, Guatemala
OR Belize. Traveling through New Mexico has been challenging
for my food writing. While I have tried many a restaurant that
the locals recommend I have found ONE item I truly liked.
I am sure it is ME where the problem is and all the food is
“just amazing.”
Gang if you have a chance to get out-of-town DO IT.
Step outside and see what you can find. What you have been missing.
It is always a good thing to go out searching and exploring.
Even bad experiences are worth it in the big scheme of things.
And while you are out there keep your eyes open and see if
you can find someone to help.
Give a hand, Give a coin, Give someone
a bite to eat. Don’t wait to be asked.

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.
