We miss you and Allison. I miss getting a kick out of hearing about your "Skinny Elvis" concoctions. I don't know why you aren't on T-com anymore, but I honestly hope and pray that you and Allison are okay, and are happy wherever you are.

I Am

Eric Chas, 36 year old husband and father of four and I am no longer afraid to fail. I am keeping the name MrGrinch because that's how people know me, but that name is no longer a representation of who I am. I no longer have skinny arms and legs, poor posture or a pot belly. My attitude still mirrors my physique though. The difference is that now I'm a joyful, grateful, optimist that sees the glass as more full than empty. I have started to rediscover the joy in life and it's all because of this community. I no longer need to impress my wife or children, because I realize that they love me for who I am, and for who I am becoming. My heart has grown - just like my name sake.

Assignment #10

http://www.transformation.com/MrGrinch/blog/Assignments/Assignment-10-Complete/34096

My Goals

1. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will weigh 135 lbs (This means I have to gain weight). I will have a clearly defined six pack abdominal section. I will have visible thigh definition. I will have separation in my deltoids. I will have a tapered "V" shape in my upper torso.

2. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will have found a new church that I attend regularly. I will commit to taking my family weekly. I will practice devotions with them. I will lead by spiritual example.

3. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will have organized, sorted, filed and disposed of the mountain of paperwork that I have accumulated and allowed to overrun my dining room table, piano top, bookshelves and basement for the last five + years. I will touch each piece only once and resolve what to do with it. I will have condensed this sprawl into one organized and clearly labeled file box and ensured that my family knows where to find the important documents.

4. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will complete a list of household chores to be completed by each child to alleviate the amount of work that Allison has to do. I will institute a commission plan to help teach them the value of hard work and money management.

5. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will have developed a clear household budget and plan to reduce the amount of debt that we carry. I will make a plan to ensure that we are completely debt free except for our house within the next year.

6. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will have helped to complete "spring cleaning" to include preparing the side porch to enjoy the weather with my wife each day.

7. On June 8, 2009 I, Eric Chas will have implemented a routine to regularly spend time with each of my children corporately and individually. I will have taught my youngest son how to play catch. I will learn the things that are important to my daughter and do those things with her. I will implement a "family" night where we play a game, watch a movie, or do something to make memories that will last their lifetime.

My Intentions

I intend to help YOU!

Oh, and I also intend to run the 1/2 in Denver.

Who I'd Like to Inspire

The average. The ones that have no idea how they got to where they are and don't feel like they have the right to Be the Change! The ones without much of a story. The ones wearing the masks - smiling on the outside but bleeding on the inside. I'm here to show you that help is around every corner and if you don't know where else to go, you can come here. I'm going to help you...Go Get It!
