Wasn't what I expected!!!!

One of my goals was to start getting certified in some of the activities I like to participate in. Yesterday I became a certified spin instructor. My wife and I took the course that the Y had set up and is also the place where we do most of our spin classes. We've had some pretty awesome instructors and some not so awesome. My vision was that I would take everything that I have learned from my favorite and not so favorite instructors, then p...

Time for a post to the old blog.

Well Joe was kind enough to give me a swift kick in the old pen, lol and tell me it's been a spell since i have blogged. So here's what's been going on lately: On my days off, Susan and I found a Junior High that the senoir citizens in Alvin have been using for several years. The state provides a life guard so they can get their exercises in. we asked if we could join and for 15 bucks a month we can swim two times a day 5 days a week. On my ...

My Healthy Holiday Challenge

Healthy Holiday Challenge. Three words in themselves evoke a lot of thought. I took on this 8 week challenge with the goal of losing 5 pounds, joining a new group and seeing what a challenge during the holidays would bring by trying to adhere to some guidelines I set for myself. Well as plans would have it, I had my vacation scheduled so I was off from December 18th until the rest of the year. I haven’t been off for the holidays since I sta...

Together

One of the things I learned a little late from Wendy( WBRUSSO) was  while I was training to run the half marathon in Denver is that I was over training because I wasn't setting a pace. After a thread got started asking where we thought the time we could run the half in, i put myself down and later Chris( ChrisRile) said he would join me.  Chris and I started corresponding a tad before the marathon and felt comfortable that we could...

A story from my transformation adventure

  I must say that after I read Bill's blog about his adventures looking for that spiritual link, the answer to all my questions in life, my purpose, I embarked on a similar adventure. What first stirred this quest was in December when I went to Austin, Texas to a gathering of people from the transformation community. It was there that I had my first encounter with a person who peaked my curiosity about stepping my life up to a newer, meaning...

Assignment #18

   The alpha of my transformation came in the form of trust. Trusting God, by letting him into to my life, trusting my family by letting them trust me. Trusting my transformation family by letting them into my life. The omega of my transformation is that i have allowed myself to turn things over to God and let go of those things i have no control over. I know as I continue this process and doing and redoing the assignments that I will c...

Assignment #14 Rocks me to the core....

The core belief that I held before I began this was that I felt at my age that I would just be happy to be fit. The belief that I hold now that would limit my progress is the one of not believing in what I am capable of doing and therefore not following through with any goals I have. The new belief that I have to replace the limiting one, is that at my age there is so much more to being just fit, it is living life with an inner spiritual connecti...

When I become a champion i will give the $10,000 for charity to The Rainbow House in San Antonio. This is a place where 12 lucky individuals g...

Assignment 12 B.... power words, power people

 Okie dokie, this assignment had a little different approach for me the second time around. I had my laptop at work, worked a 12 hour shift Saturday and had it open to T.com most of that 12 hours. I as I was listing my positive power words down and my negative energy zapping words down, I also would see peoples names popping up on the site and several times these names would evoke a very positive power word. Since this is Assignment 12 I tho...

Assignment number 11: fight the good fight...

 or give up the fight?   Giving up the fight is giving up trying to be someone i'm not and being the person I am. I will do this by letting go and letting God take over for me and guide me down the path that He feels is right for me and one that feels right in my heart. That my friends is as simplistic as it gets for me. Pure and simple. Troy ...

Assignment #8.....Shut up and Talk.

  As I was working my assignments and feeling pretty good about myself, I got to this one( assignment number 8) a week ago and just kept looking at it, thinking about it and wondering about what I thought my lowest level habit was the last time I did this and if I had improved on it. Then several days ago I got smacked right between the eyes with a series of events regarding my wife that  opened my eyes to a very low level habit I have....
