Notes from the transformation battlefield! (Week one)

Day 7 of 126...Holiday excess gone!  Scale said 179 & 19.8% (beginning weight 187.4 & 22.2 on photo day  12/29/08).  This is Joe's comfort zone weight as I found just below 20% bodyfat the place where I would feel good about myself and be able to eat more of the goodies.  I believe that is in the process of changing right now!It just came to my attention that the contest is not over in a week -...

Ok Marianne Williamson, I'm in!

We ask ourselves, "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, tallented and fabulous?"  Acutually, who are you not to be, you are a child of God.  Your playing small doesn not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.   Ok, I'm in.  I love this quote...memorized it well over a year ago, and now it is time to live it!And when you let your ow...

Christmas Confessions!

Yes it it true, these do exist!It is the eve before Christmas eve and I have my boys as my wife is finishing up the shopping.  Tonight I actually asked Theresa to purchase what she would like for Christmas, while she was shopping, as my time seems to be disapearing right before my very eyes and the thought of shopping was starting to create unnecessary stress. I really am the spontaneous gift giver and Christmas just does not work ...

Pre-transformation Inventory Opportunity!

What an incredable opportunity that you have!On Friday I began my journey from Bloomington to Denver as my 2 week training program with my new employer had ended. As I sat at the Bloomington airport watching the departure time of my flight begin to change from 4:30 to 4:50, to well, we arrived at O'hear at 8pm which was just one hour after my connecting flight had left. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 6pm I began looking for options to get home ...

Un poco loco en la cabeza! (a little crazy in the head)

Insane?  Crazy?  What ever it is, it really feels good!It is 4:30am Bloomington Ill. time and I have been in the Gym 7 of the last 8 days from 5 to 6:30.  I have been doing a split of upper body (either a "push" (chest, military for shoulders , and tricepts) or a "pull" (back, upright rows for shoulders, bicepts and forarms) workout) or lower body for 45 ish minutes with 30 ish minutes on cardio.&...

The Healthenomic bail out package of 2009!

Transformation is the answer!In your transformation you will take a self-inventory and access your life as it is right now.  You will have an opportunity to examine who you are, right now, and consider exactly where you will be in the future if nothing changes.  You will have an opportunity to dream of what is possible.  What would your life be like with energy and vitality.  What would your life be like if you were proud...

What a Journey!

As I was watching my children at the skateboarding park and reflecting upon 2008, can you believe we only have 6 weeks left this year!  Anyhow, I tracked this progression...On Easter Sunday I completed my transformation program which I had started January 1st.I began my program January 1st. because I was at an event held by a company called "Peak Potential" called Wealth and Wisdom, which was in Palm Desert in December 2007 in...

What a Transformed workout!

Yes, the bi-polar express has left the station!Everything but my physical presence is on vacation!  I really am enjoying the beach...do you hear the waves crashing...how about my toes in the sand?  I am snorkeling in a current with all the beautiful fish floating around me.  I just ordered a Long Island Iced Tea (by, the way, I found out last year that there is no tea in a long island iced tea!!!  I ordered one on our last can...

The Result of "overdoing it!"

I was looking to do something that really streached me...so, on Wednesday I went for a 65 minute run...somewhere around 7ish miles.  I felt great about my accomplishment..it was my longest run since the 1/2 Denver marathon!Then the soreness hit.  Then it was Thursday and I had a lower body workout on the agenda...then I grabbed my old stack of Muscle & Fitness mags...looking for justification for taking off 2 days this week (ther ar...

Remember This.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, tallented, and fabulous?" actually, who are you not to be, you are a child of God!  Your playing small does not serve the world!There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insec...

Total Body Pollution!

Beware of the all out free day!  I would think I would remember this every week.  No, 3-4 days of healthy eating, then I look forward to the free day.  Once the free day is here, by the end of the day I am sick....so, JOE, beware of the "let it rip, all out free day!"...

The Final Countdown!

I have been reading several of your posts and see a lot of you comming to the end of your program.  It is so inspiring to read of the impact that this program has had on your life!I also remember the challenge that the last week of the program brought and all the doubts and questions that I had and just wanted to throw them out here.  A trainer at my gym told me to stop eating all carbs...except for banannas that I would need for potass...

New to the Site?

I joined this site in April, but it has taken me until now to really begin participating.  I was thinking that there are probably new people looking around every day, checking things out, and this is for you!I have no experience with web sites like this.  I have no experience sharing with people that I hardly know without any face to face contact.  When I began, Marty's 12 week transformation was being revealed.  I remember wa...

THANKS BILL!

I have been doing a personal inventory of how my life has changed since I have been a part of the transformation and thought I would share it with you!  (Thanks for the program Bill!)#1.  Dropped 36#'s of fat, gained 6#'s of muscle in 12 weeks.  Since the end of the contest I have maintained my weight at 178...5#'s above my contest low (I finished the contest Easter Sunday 2008).  This is the physical result which has led to t...

The power of this package! (Stay plugged in!)

Wow, I forgot how important it is to be around the people of this community! Theresa & I were blessed to be guests at the 25 anniversary of Make a wish last evening.  It was a spectacular experience and by the end of the evening I did not want to leave and it is now 4:43am and I am "walking on" to the marathon team...Is that Crazy? A week ago I heard Marty was doing the 1/2 marathon and wondered if what that would be ...
