Happy New Year!! Technically it's Jan 1st (it's 12:09) Told myself that I was going to be a better blogger this year. That was one of my resolutions, along with about seven more. Of course losing weight was #1 on my list AGAIN!! Saving money, more exercise, get more sleep, buy less, eat out less, drink more water yada yada yada. I couldn't wait for the new year..the new decade...the new me.
I have a new outlook on my health. A few weeks ago we found out that my Aunt Judy has stage 4 cancer that has spread throughout her body. This is a lady that is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. My niece remains a strong inspiration as well. She made it into her gyms local magazine and one of their success stories. She has worked her ass off and through it all has lost 65 pounds. WAY TO GO STEPH!!! I see a new person with even more self esteem than she already had. She is really living the life that she deserves to live. I also want to thank Sean Anderson for being one of the best success stories and a "huge" inspiration. Even if you don't have to lose weight, I suggest you read his "400 days plus" blog THE DAILY DIARY OF A WINNING LOSER. They should make that into a book...maybe even a movie!
The biggest inspiration would be the camera. I continue to be reminded about my condition through pictures and video when I play out in my band RABID AARDVARKS.
Here's to a awesome 2010!
Scott,
ReplyDeleteYou have the power my friend. The force is inside you...use the force Scott---use it!
My best advice would be this:
Keep it simple! Especially right now. Maintain the integrity of your calorie budget at all cost. And exercise. But don't pressure yourself with a bunch of rules like...I'll drink a gallon of water a day or I'll only east out once a week or I'm only or no eating after a set time. All of those are fine, but here's the deal: If you complicate things by making all of these plans for success---and you deviate the slightest along the way, then you feel like a failure and you're not a failure. keep it simple.
Get fancy later. Right now you just want to drop the pounds. Stay true to your calorie budget no matter how tough it gets---and exercise.
The mental part? Well...this comes from within---that force thing---Listen my friend, You know I've said this many times. Your journey here is only as strong as the importance level you've set. Set it high, set it strong, defend it from your emotions---decide that nothing is going to stop you, nothing. No emotion, no circumstance, not anything.
This is your time.
I love your band name, love it! Hope to watch you play someday!
And thank you for the compliments. Book is likely, but a movie? You're too generous and kind! Thank you again.
My best always,
Sean
Funny I said "someday." Old habits die hard huh?
ReplyDeleteI think I am gonna start calling you Sean Kenobi. I will use the force!
