A Walk.

 

DSC_0024

Where have your walks taken you?

Walking is one of my favorite activities,

I enjoy taking off and then see where I end up.

This particular walk started at the touristic

malecon in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, it ended

Way the hell two colonias/neighborhoods away.

The point for me is, ten thousand steps a day

is where I like to start., from there we shall see.

My diet, my life, my work, and most everything

else seems to work better when I daily take my

long walks.

The messed up part is that at times I go long times

not taking them, and I should do better since I do

know better than that.

Gang. Whatever it is that makes things work for you

please be good to yourself and: Do It.

Want success? Do what works!

Work On Your Passion.

90b5704a128627b4a1aaaa845a948a19

Taking pride and interest on bettering ourselves

must be a center thought, and all the work needed

must be focused to that end.

Trying to please and keep other’s happy more than

working on ourselves is a mistake.

Our weight loss, specially for us with the lapband

is a more important proposition.

Plan your work, work your plan.

Never forget, all yo do will benefit you but also

those important to you.

Stay focus, remain successful.

A moment of truth.

DSC_0173That cold, cold shower moment when

we get on the scale.

Great if its good but tough if it is not.

At that moment every bite that went through

our lips comes to mind and makes us smile

or makes us cringe with regret.

We know what we are supposed to do

so let us go forth and make the right

decisions to accomplish our dreams and goals.

Let us take a shower, a shower of success.

The Real.

DSC_0061What is hot?  What is fast?

What is stylish? What is the it thing?

The answer is: It depends.

The same thing happens when it comes

to us. To diet, weight loss, appearance, etc.

It is about what is right for US. What is

appropriate and adequate for us.

Don’t let the flashy or trendy affect the process

you have delineated for yourself.

Keep it up and have an impact on your world.

Action.

dont talk

This applies to all aspects of life.

Weight loss or relationships,

money or love, work or family.

In the end it comes down to the old adage:

Under promise and over deliver.

Stay focus and remain successful.

About Champions.

champions believeEvery Day we need to re-enforce in our mind and heart

the why we are doing what we are doing.

We need to keep ever-present the dream and the goal

and with that, the confidence, strength, and believe will push us

to accomplish the little, mundane, and at times boring

steps that will transform our dreams and goals into reality.

If it is a million dollars or a certain weight it is by planning

and executing the little steps that the GOAL is reached.

Gang., we must keep putting one step in front of the other

and eventually we will reach our goal.

Believing in the possibilities I wish you all the best.

The Meds Of Our Lives

62e621d57597a4db42872e9247641e16I see this and it reminds me of a friend who

suffered from by-polar disorder. He would say

to us all “If I start acting like all you crazies please

ask me if I took my meds” He was great.

Now back to us. If you had WLS you should be

on vitamins. If you have high cholesterol or issues

with your blood pressure you probably are on meds.

Where am I going with this? We Must Take Our Meds.

We must take our meds as prescribed.

I loved it that as the weight fell off my daily meds

count went down as well. I went from 12 and 15

pills a day to now only two and I am working on them

as well. I want out of the pill club.

Gang is we do the right things progress will happen.

A reduction of the meds we are on should be a goal

we work for.

Stay focus and remain successful.

This Time I Mean It!!!

Diet starts tomorrow

Have you been there??

I have. In the past it was as if as soon

as I choose a date or day to start my diet

or exercise program shit would happen

and everything went crazy.

That can only be avoided by being clear

with our goals and dreams.

We must maintain our goals and dreams

front and center in order to enforce

and reinforce our commitments.

Reality is that dieting is never an easy

undertaking and we shall truly take

every advantage presented to us.

If it will help me lose a pound I will take

the advise and I will take any help

given to me by anyone even remotely

looking like someone who knows what

is what. Hell I spent almost two hours

talking to an 80+ years old lady at my last

Gym trying to understand how the heck

she was able to pull off the workouts that she

was doing and I learned., I learned from her.

Then we had waffles at Perkin’s and I learned

a little more about her and life.

Learn from anyone who can teach and

 teach anyone who can be taught.

Equally important to “Taking” when we

learn from others we shall “Give” in sharing

what knowledge and experience we have.

Gang stay focus and remain successful.

“Them”

Judge MeThat is reality.

And it is not limited to big, fat people no,

people of all sizes are judged and criticized

because of their size.

I feel really sorry for those that allow that to

get to them as I feel that the one and only

voice that matters is our own.

Please do not think that I am trying to minimize

the feelings and emotions that come from

listening to mean, careless and at times cruel

comments and “looks” as I too have fallen to the

same things as some of you might have.

I just had to learn how to ignore it and remain

focused in order to continue to improve.

Please do not allow others to affect your life

and more importantly your health.

Since I started working on health care I have

had a deep dislike for Dietitians who have the

kick you in the head approach because they have

the education but lack the tact and ability to deal

with the lesser (read overweight) people.

Are they all the same??? Maybe not but it sure has been

ALL the ones I have had a chance to meet.

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Gang I guess what I am trying to say is do not let

Ass-Holes ruin your day as they are all over the world.

If you want to learn more about being a “Doer” take a look

at the books and learning materials recommended in my

book kit at  KIT.COM/LAPBANDFORMEN

You Are In Control

you have the powerWe battle weight loss constantly and,

we have more misses than we want to

but in the end it is not about wining always

as much as it is about not stopping.

Deciding to make a change  that takes us

closer to our goals will always come at a

price and the price is following a diet, excercising,

remaining active and making the appropriate

decisions to keep the changes and continue

making the progress we seek.

Make a decision and stick to it.

Take a stand against mediocrtity and

hold on to it.

Gang it is within our grasp if we choose it.

Stay focus remain successful.

Living.

Screenshot_20170402-024547.jpgIf you are of the human race.

If you have ever taken a breath.

If you heart has ever contracted.

You have lived and if you have lived

I am sure you have screwed up at something

sometime and so have I.

So what is there to be done about it???

Maybe nothing maybe something but one

thing is for sure…… We Do Not Stop!!

Not because of one or a million screw-ups.

We keep going and we keep working on more

and more importantly: On Better.

Do not let the Shityness in life keep you from

the greatness of living.

Stay Focus Remain Successful.

Best Time Of The Day.

Screenshot_20170423-0755463:30 AM was my best time of the day.

I functioned well with two or three hours

of sleep and I could go all night working,

reading, talking, getting in trouble or just

driving around.

Things change. I have changed and as my

body has aged I find losing the weight  to

be harder and taking longer.

I hurt after my activities and I do not like it.

I used to run for ever and stop when bored

not when tired and now even my walks hurt.

And yet I find my activity so rewarding.

I love the challenge not because I always win

but because it keeps me going.,

I do love the feeling of the win all the wins big

and small because an ounce or a pound are

equally important and relevant.

Gang this weight loss thing is an ongoing

numbers game. How many times we fall,

how many times we get up again.

It happens… Shit does happen so be ready

and just keep going.

Stay focus remain successful.

Do Not Stop.

Screenshot_20170415-053701.jpgBecause we all make mistakes

we must ALL be prepared to acknowledge

and realize that we can once again start anew.

Do not let a failure regardless of size get in the way

of your goals and dreams.

You, me, us we are worth it.

Fight for your weight loss.

fight for your healthier life.

Push for more and better because you deserve it.

If you invested in the LapBand® do not let it go to waste.

No failure, no mistake no nothing is worth

you giving up on life and your dreams.

Gang stay focus remain successful.

RESULTS…

Screenshot_20170413-093020.jpgAnything wrong with showing off the

results of your hard work???

Hell No.

Results do not have to be this remarkable to

deserve being celebrated.

I celebrate a pound lost just as much as I do

and ounce why? because it is success.

Gang only we know how hard it is for us to

lose any weight so do not let the number

keep you from acknowledging and celebrating

your losses.

Stay focus and keep kicking but keep loosing weight.

Motivated?

6ba47fa4643d650ece6bf7df72d8d307We all need the steady fuel of

Motivation.

This short guide will help you remain

centered, inspired and pushing forward

with the force provided by motivation.

Keep your goals and dreams present

all the time.

When it comes to motivation keep in mind

that WE ALL need it, that we all have use of it.

Keep your eyes open as near you might be someone

who needs a word of encouragement a pat on the back

a coin or a bite to eat. Be the source of motivation

to them. Give them the courage or the opportunity

to take even one more step.

Be a friend. Be a real friend.
