Bill's post

I'm Having Fun Doing the Work!

A photo from today (in the white shirt) compared to a photo (green shirt) from the first day I was able to get out of a wheelchair about 3 months ago. I am having a lot of fun doing the work of re-building my body! Very grateful for every step and every rep!! (These are just random photos for a quick comparison... I will post more traditional before and afters at the end of the month.)

You look great in both photos, Bill! Just joined your community (remember me from the late 1990's when I developed the customer relationship program for your old company?). Cheers!

Congrats on your healing. Will your program also work for someone in complete surgical menopause?

BeachcomberCC wrote 160 Days Ago

Nothing like leading by example, Bill. Your recovery has been nothing but remarkable. Looks like the arms got all the rehab attention the legs could not support. Eager to see the traditional before & after pics. I will be getting tendons reattached to my rotator cuff next week. Now if only I could have built a Transformation Center while in recovery! You're amazing!

You are doing the work right along with us which we all LOVE! Great work Bill! You said you would be kicking a field goal by the end of this year as a goal. No matter what, you have achieved far greater than ANY doctor told you was possible. That was my favorite gift to me... proving them all wrong with my back. Love to see you full of life, energy and love! ~Mary

Wow Bill, You look so Healthy and Fit. You sure are inspiring for all of us here in Transformation!! Blessings, CarolynC

Agatsu_John wrote 161 Days Ago

Way to go Bill! It's been awhile since I've checked in or posted a note. That said, we both seem to have survived a recent medical challenge: A) You've gotten out of that wheel chair B) I've survived a heart attack. Perhaps we need a special transformation category for the "sick, lame, &/or lazy." Again well done. John Lesko PS: I've lost 16 pounds of fat since my MI and looking to follow many of your BFL/Transformation principles on my road to recovery. Thanks for setting the example.

chrissie337 wrote 161 Days Ago

Bill, I've always admired you for your work in the field of health and fitness; since your accident, I admire you even more - you're a role model for me of how to count blessings instead of problems, to have determination in keeping your eyes on the goal, and to choose a good attitude no matter what. You look happy, focused and fabulous! Christine

NannyAnnie wrote 161 Days Ago

gam_mlm wrote 161 Days Ago

Bill, I have admired your attitude and stamina since hearing of your accident. You look wonderful and continue to amaze me. On Oct. 18 I had total knee replacement of both knees and NOW I respect you more than these words can express. As much as I now know about how critical PT is to move forward and about pain....what YOU are accomplishing is mind boggeling. You continue to be my inspiration, both in this and Life transformation.
