ON MOTIVATION.

Jan28

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.

Gang Stay Focus Stay Successful.

LIVE.

Jan26

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”

Gang Stay Focused Stay Successful.

ON THE NEW YEAR.

Dec30

Are we starting this new opportunity on the right foot?

Are we set to get the most out of this opportunity?

Let’s not allow anything to get in the way of us reaching our goals.

This is our life. This is not a Dress rehearsal.

Let’s OWN it.

Wishing us all a Kick Ass New Beginning.

PEOPLE……….

Nov30

And that is why we do not pay them no mind.

We should be so busy working on our stuff

that anything that those outside of our circle

do or say just stays there “OUT”.

Work on your goals, Work on your dreams,

Work on what matters to you and ignore

the rest.

MORE TO LIFE.

Nov17

Last 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.

LIL BREAK.

Nov7

I am just posting this for my own pleasure.

I hope you too have something that makes you

feel good just by looking at it.

Adele is what does it for me. I can listen to her songs

for hours. Truly enjoyed her performance at

The Royal Albert Hall. Amazing.

Anyway gang let’s get together again tomorrow.

Keep smiling and looking for what will make you happy.

QUALITY OF LIFE.

Sep29

Yes it does.

The thing is that we, many a time keep around us people who

have no business being there. People who fulfilled their

role in our lives, and who now should be on to other things.

But NO we insist on collecting people.

Gang life is a continually moving target and in order to

even try to keep up we must be ever alert to it.

We must be in constant guard with the three A’s of

Bushido in mind: Alert, Assess and Act.

Alert to what is around us.

Assess what is around us.

Act based on what is around us.

The act part is what gives most the hardest time.

We know what to do or what not to do but we many a time

choose with our inactivity.

We want it so now we must learn how to go after it.

We must learn how to remove obstacles even if they have a pulse.

It is our life, lets live it to its fullest.

Gang Stay Focus Stay successful.

RUMORS.

Sep26

And while we leave low life people to live their

low life lives, we go forth and continue to grow,

and do more with our lives.

There is a whole big world full of possibilities for those

of us who dare to take a chance.

What are you allowing people to rob you of?

What are you giving permission to others to affect

in your life. Refuse and do not allow others

to hold you back or keep you down.

Push forward ever harder.

Gang Lets Stay Focus So We might continue to be successful.

ARGUMENTS.

Jul17

When it comes to arguing about diets

please, please don’t.

There are arguments for all the Diets

and all the programs out there, BUT

the moment that results begin to show…

Every body wants to know what it is

that you are doing.

Forget about it all and just do your thing.

Take care of you and commit to your program.

Just Do Your Thing. Be Successful.

Stay focus.

EARN IT.

Jul13

Funny how people forget about their contribution when the results

are less than good, but how fast and permanently they make themselves

part of anything good that has been accomplished by anyone.

The way I see it gang is that we do this by ourselves for ourselves.

Try finding a gym partner and you can spend weeks asking, and in the end

you find yourself going to the gym by yourself. How about this one:

You start a diet program any diet program and everyone and their aunt

have an opinion about said program but as you start making progress

here they are…

Anyway do not forget that you can and should be able to trust and count

on yourself. Now Go Do It.

Gang Stay Focus Stay Successful.

ON BIG DREAMS.

Jun9

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.

It is up to us gang.

Let’s Go Do It.

A LITTLE HELP PLEASE.

Jun8

This is our ferret ‘Peter”

Here you can see him exploring the

ocean and the beach in Rocky Point, Mexico.

He is the oldest of our ferrets, and he has

fallen ill. This has affected our whole family,

and as we have done before with one other

of our ferrets, we are taking as much care

of him as we can.

I would like to ask of you to please send

good thoughts, prayers and good energy

his way. Our whole family would be most

grateful. Thanks.

A GOOD BYE.

May31

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.

ON PARTNERS.

Apr25

Remember how easy it used to be to

call on your friends and get to misbehaving?

How come it becomes so hard to find a partner

to work out and hold you accountable?

I have been trying for quite a while to find someone

to go to the gym with me and have been unsuccessful.

For many, what we do is difficult and weird or at least

inconvenient. The bad part is that as we go on

working out and exercising we get used to

doing it on our own and it makes it difficult later to

let anyone in the circle.

An accountability partner is always a good idea

so keep trying to find someone. And be patient

with them by the way. Remember WE are weird.

Keep the weirdness going gang who wants to be normal.

Normal is broke, Normal is fat, Normal is dull,

Normal is what NOT to be.

By the way. Those three monsters in the picture are

my kids Riley, Levi, and Logan.

VERY, VERY PERSONAL POST.

Apr17

If for just an instant God would forget that I am but a puppet of time and would
bestow

upon me the gift of a chunk of life., I would use that time fully.

Probably, I wouldn’t say all that I think but I would definitely think about all
that I say.

I would give value to things not because of what they are worth but because of
what they mean.

I would sleep very little but I would dream more. I understand that for every
minute we close our eyes

we lose sixty seconds of light.

I would walk while others stop, wake up while others still sleep.

If God would give me a chunk of life, I would dress modestly, lay face up to the
sun uncovering

not just my body but also my soul.

To men I would show how wrong they are in thinking they stop falling in love
when the grow old

without knowing that they grow old when they quit falling in love.

To a kid I would give wings but let him learn to fly on his own.

To old folks I would share that Death doesn’t arrive with old age but with
abandonment.

So much I have learned from men.

I have learned that everyone wants to live a top the mountain not knowing that
true happiness

comes in the challenge of the climb.

I have learned that when a newborn squeezes with his tiny hand his father’s
finger

he is trapped forever.

I have learned that a man only has the right to look down on another man when he
is

helping him stand up again.

It has been so many things I have learned from all of you but really it will not
be of much

use because when I am placed in that big suitcase I will already be dying.

Try to say always what you feel and do always what you feel deep inside your
heart.

If I knew that today would be the last time that I will see you sleep, I would
embrace you tightly

and pray to God to allow me and be the guardian of your soul.

If I knew this would be the last minutes I would see you I would tell you ” I
Love You”

And don’t assume foolishly that you knew already.

There is always another tomorrow and life gives us another chance to mend
things.

But if I am wrong and today is all we have left I would like to tell you “I Love
You and I will never forget you”.

Tomorrow is not assured to anyone, old, young. Today could be the last time you
see those you love.

Because of that: Wait no more. Do it today because if tomorrow never comes you
surely will lament

the day that you did not take the time for a smile, an embrace, a kiss, the day
when you were so busy to grant one last wish.

Keep those you love close to you, tell them to their ear how much you need
them. Love them and treat them well.

Take time to say “I am sorry”, “Forgive me”, “Please”, “Thanks” and all the
loving words that you know.

No one will ever remember you for your secret noble thoughts. Ask God the
strength and wisdom to express them.

finally, Show your friends and loved ones just how much they matter to you.

STRENGTH.

Apr6

Since we will all fall “eventually”

we might as well plan on learning.

A fall, mistake or lesson is only bad

if we learn nothing from it.

We must remember that either we earn

or we learn. YES it is a win, win so don’t

let fear of failure keep you from trying.

We are on this together so if I can be

of any assistance reach out, write me at

lapbandformen@gmail.com

Gang THANKS!! We have crossed the 2575

followers mark. I am very grateful.

CEILING.

Mar23

Every 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.

ON SELF LOVE

Mar1

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.
OK gang today as always I wish you all the best of the best.

WHAT AM I?

Feb27

What 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.

Feb24

This 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.

ABOUT BELIEVING.

Feb12

I have a friend. She is one of those persons

that can inspire even the worst of cases.

She however, is unable to see in herself

all of the strength and inspiration that

she gives so many of us.

I wish I could say that I always see the

possibilities and opportunities but I have to

admit that many a time I too fall short in

noticing the good. Admiring the great.

Enjoying the amazing and forgetting the

shortcomings of those I expected SOMETHING,

ANYTHING from. After all it was my fault.,

it was I who bestowed upon them character,

compassion, values, and characteristics

they did not posses.

Go Figure.. I guess I was WRONG.

TRUE FRIENDS.

Jan26

This is my Ferret. His name is “Beast”
Beast became ill. Beast is unable for the most part to procure food and water
for himself even if it is placed in close proximity. I have to puree his food as
he is unable to deal with it on his own.
He became ill very suddenly and it kills me to see him unable to move. I have a
background in health care (human) and I try to keep him going. I do the range in
motion with him. I give him baths as often as he allows. You see ferrets have a
strong distinctive smell to them but are very peculiar and clean in their
habits. I know that he does not like to be dirty. I am so glad that he has a
true friend like me and NOT like those I thought were my friends. He would have
been ignored and abandoned as soon as he became sick and unable to be as
expected. Anyway I just wanted to introduce him to the world. You know he was
the best hunter, Most playful, Good wrestler. A real catch. I hope he will get
better. Please gang keep The Beast in your thoughts and I wish you all the
fortune of having True and Real Friends.

This was a great deal for me. He lives by that towel but in months I have not
seen him drink water on his own. He is so stinking cute.

I re post this to let you all know that The beast is now fully recovered and up
to all his behaviours of the past. I love watching him run around and continue
to be great. As I was playing with him today I came to tears of joy. If only our
friends would always stand beside us. A coin, a bite, a word of support, a
promise kept.

Never forget gang look for friends but start by being a true friend.

I DID IT AGAIN…….

Jan21

This being human is for the birds.

I keep screwing up and all I hear is “You are human”

Shit I want to be a perfect and awesome human.

I want to stop slipping on chocolate wrappers and

Vietnamese noodles.

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

day or week. We acknowledge and move on.

No one died over a small pack of skittles or a bar of

Hershey’s Chocolate. (them Bastards)

It will happen and we must be prepared to deal with it.

Gang… Stay Focused Stay Successful.

WHAT WE WANT TO BE.

Dec6

Weight loss is so much more than the way we look., it is also the way we feel
and the way that we are perceived not just by others but by us as well.
We each have an idea an image of who we are and what we look like under the
perfect circumstances but, we know that the perfect circumstances are seldom
present.
Does that means that we settle or that we give up? No! it means that we continue
to work at it and maintain the goal and the dream alive. We do this with our
daily work and the image ever-present in our minds and hearts.
We fight with the tools and weapons that we each have at our disposal. We use
the fork at the table and our legs in our walks. Exercise and diet. Patience and
understanding. We use the knowledge that others have and so freely give to us by
reading and acting on what other bloggers share.
I am so grateful to all of you that read what I write and the blogs that I
follow. It reminds me that I am not alone and that in the end and in different
ways we are not alone. We are all in this together.
I wish we could track the pounds that we are all loosing. Pound by pound we are
making an ever-increasing dent on the mountain of pounds in front of us.
I thank you and wish all the success that our hard work deserves.
We are doing it.
Keep up the good work and throw yourself at it. Today. Tomorrow. Always.

We are not losers unless we quit. There are no losers here.

THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE.

Nov18

Because as we grow and improve we see

areas that could be better we never stop working.

Take an honest look at yourself and find those areas

you wish to work on.

Every day that we work on improving ourselves is

well spent.

Our daily work helps us enjoy the other aspects

of our life and that is where we can see the fruit of

our labor.

Keep on Keeping on.

ON LIFE.

Oct25

For 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.

THE WHOLE ENCHILADA.

Oct21

The whole picture is about a whole life.

What else are we doing and enjoying.

While yes not all in life is enjoyable we must

find things we are passionate about and

throw some pleasure into our life.

For me it is traveling and photography.

What is it for you? What is the one thing you

thought you would be enjoying when you

“Grew UP” ??? Find it

look for your passion and if you are lucky enough to have

someone to share it with even better.

Life is a lot more than work, diet and pay bills gang.

Go live it.

FUNNY FACT ON PEOPLE.

Oct5

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.

HEALING.

Sep25

Sad 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.

THE IMPACT OF OTHER’S IN OUR LIFE.

Aug29

It is incredible the impact that at times other people around us have in our
life.

We can not choose our family but I tell you if someone from your family brings

you down it is time for you to choose just how much time you spend with him/her.

If you have a friend whom you love but is poisoning your efforts it is time for
you to

love from a distance., a safe distance.

Many will say “I will help you” “I will support you” “I am here for you” and
they will.,

until you actually need them. Then the diarrhea of excuses happens.

Choose the people around you. Your life, dreams and hopes are way too important.

Find and associate with persons who bring value to your life.

RESILIENCE.

Aug8

Wanting 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.

LIFE AND REALITY

Aug5

Sadly many times it takes a disappointment

to realize and figure out short comings.

We must be aware and continually look

for what is missing in our daily life.

We need people who care enough for us

that they show us with their actions that they

are not just lip service and when they say

“I am here for you” or “I will support you”

they mean it.

Regardless the responsibility for our life

rests squarely on our shoulders.

And here is where love and gratitude

comes to the front as I think of the one woman

who has made the biggest difference in my life

My wife Amy whose patience, loyalty, love

And strength has made my life better.

Lot’s Of Love Babe you are always present

When so many others choose not to.

Let’s keep our eyes open and continue

to push for growth and continued progress

REGARDLESS.

Jul22

The 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.

WORKING ON ME.

Jun29

Is 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.

INSPIRATION.

Jun23

In 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.

NEW BEGININGS.

Apr19

Truly like this pic.

As a regular person I know of having had failure and times and moments when

the bed wins in the early morning and the doughnuts with the coffee.

But I also know of the pain and frustration when the bastard bathroom scale
laughs

in my face. So guess what… I accept it and try again and then try again.

It is my goal to win and regardless of what happens outside of my head I will

continue to fight this fight.

I know that I am the only one who has ever failed at the battle of the pounds

so for all of the high achievers out there please just take this as comedy
material.

NOW…. Should there be anyone else like me out there who is being challenged by

a pound of two I welcome your input and comments.

I am fighting a rather large battle and I have quite a lot against me yet.,

I am here working on more and better.

I m having my weight tracker adjusted so there is a public record and we shall

see where this road takes us.

I have this time enlisted the help of a life coach and I see how some of the

“OTHER” aspects of my life are improving and falling into place

so we shall see how this very important part of my life works out.

She is the nicest, toughest, most caring, knowledgeable, drill Sargent bitch

I have ever encountered in my life. I choose to do this online and
through e-mail and

It is working for me. With a weekly evaluation and planning session and two to
four

contacts by text or MSM messages through out the week she seems to be
ever-present.

As I have always told you: Figure out what works for you and your needs

and go forward with it. Forget what others say and figure out YOU.

WITH ME IN MIND.

Feb7

The phrase that comes to mind with this pic is:

“If it is to be it is up to me”

Other than our parents seldom will there be anyone

else who will take care of us and our needs.

Those of us who are lucky at one point or another

to find someone who will walk with us but, for the

most part and for most individuals it is up to he

or she to be a one person support group.

It is up to the individual to push and push hard

to accomplish things.

It is my opinion that there is nothing wrong

with taking care of me. I do not mean this

to say F…. all others but make sure that

we are doing and taking care of our needs

wants and self. Never at the expense of others

but always making sure we are keeping a healthy

dose of self-love. It is necessary.

Pushing Forward together.

3 CHOICES.

Feb2

It is a fact that we always want to “give it all we got”

But it is also a known fact that at times we DON’T.

It is my experience on this occasions that if I recognize

the event and immediately take measures to correct

the situation/environment/cause then the damage is limited.

We will have moments when the dessert table wins, when the

extra serving is just too good to pass, when we have one or two

too many drinks and for the most part it is ok in as long as

we recognize the moment and work on minimizing the impact

and be better prepared for the next time.

Gang. We live and we learn and part of the learning is

that we commit again, every time to give it our all.

Let’s continue to fight for a better tomorrow.

WHO ARE WE?

Jan13

I just found this and

I liked it because it shows characteristics

that I have seen within our community.

So here we are. Not Giving Up.

Willing to go one extra step.

ON “FRIENDS”

Dec12

Hello Gang.

I want to introduce you to “Peter”

Peter is my ferret., he is also my one ferret

support and cheering group.

He is always there. When I pull the scale out

he climbs on it first as if asking me

“How are we doing today”

He then looks at me and gets off.

As some of you know I have been dealing

with health issues and Peter seems to

know when my pain is at it’s worst which

it’s often and he just lays there at my feet.

This little guy has shown me what loyalty

looks like. He makes no promises., he just

shows up.

He is my therapy on four legs.

I am grateful.

EDIT YOUR LIFE.

Nov16

Cuts and adjustments must be made in order to keep things

in order. Not everyone will walk across the finish line with us.

Some people will choose to take a different road and it is ok.

Others will try to stay around but will be unable to do it.

Some we must cut and send on their way and that too is ok.

Pay attention to those close to you and figure out what is their

place in the big picture. Your big picture.

You see it is not that people are there only to serve you

but that they are there to BE PART OF. If they are not willing

or able then why are they in your life???

Be Fair and be honest about you and others.

Are you being part of others life? Are you sharing, learning,

teaching, being present? Are those around you doing the same

things for you??? If you or them are not then it is time for

removal and separation.

Living in honesty stay focus stay successful.

I GUESS I WAS A JUNKIE.

Oct28

It all begins and ends with food.

I know that some of my highest of highs and

some of my lowest of lows can be directly traced

to either a female or a meal. Go figure.

Food and eating can have a firm grip on what it is

that we can and will accomplish.

The addition of extra water and more

activities are always suggested when in the process of

starting or re-igniting a weight loss program.

Gang we must be in control of our monsters or

we will loose every time.

Here it is to us! The brave that confront the monster

of the pounds on a daily basis.

THE MEDS IN OUR DAYS.

Oct26

I know very well that I have to take certain meds

every single day. At very specific times.

I know that I need them.

But What to do when for whatever reason we

are unable to take them. What to do when

the pain hits and you are unable to function.

If you are depressed or dealing with fibro

with out your meds you might as well

just sit and breath as there is not much else

you can do. I KNOW.

There are many reason why we at times are

unable to take our meds as prescribed and

we must avoid that by any means but when it

happens try to have a plan B even if it is just

to howl at the moon in a therapeutic fashion.

or fantasize about inflicting the same pain

on some one who has not kept their promises.

Hope you never go through putting up with pain

because of lack of meds… It Sucks

If you use lyrica or Cymbalta like I do you know

how severe the withdrawals are if you do not

follow the prescribed times.

I guess I am just venting and letting my own

body know that we still have more battles to

fight in the future. All in all pains and all

I am grateful to be alive today.

I wish you all a great one today and always.

BREATHE…

Aug26

It is amazing what happens when we actually

stop and take the time to just be and breathe.

Stop, Breath but do it on purpose and feel

so much Bull Shit just vanish and melt away.

We are so arrogant at times and think that

the only way things will get better is if WE

make it happen.

Stop, Breath, Believe.

TIME OFF

Aug20

Ok gang I have many a time

shared with you the concept of “More”

The fact that there is more to life than just

working on getting to a certain weight and

acknowledge that we must as well do some living.

Do what you must in life but you must live some life.

This is a picture of me in Las Vegas Freemont St. And,

in case you were wondering YES They are REAL.

Real pirates that is.

Gang do not forget to live and enjoy the person

that you are working on creating.

Stay focused stay successful.
