The Greater Good.
I took some (long overdue, really) time today to update my profile page, change my goals--and it felt really, really good to mark "Done!" on the goals I had at the beginning of my first Challenge at this time last year!--and bring my profile to the present time. I was

My One Year Transformation Birthday/Anniversary!
Alrighty then!!! It's been a YEAR for me on this site as of this week! A year! It's my Transformation "Birthday!" I am so excited about this, and I thought I'd provide a little progress report on how things are going. So...this is what's going on in the life of Chipper (note: the use ...

I Am
I am married to my Angel, and have the two most precious girls--Mandy and Aly--that God ever made. God intended for me to be surrounded by beautiful women! I am a lover of life, business owner, a writer, a speaker, an athlete, a traveller and opportunity seeker!
What do I care about? Finding a way to TRULY SERVE the many. Beginning with my Family and my community and growing from there.
My Favorite Charity
The Hope Pregnancy Center in Killeen, TX. They seek to help in finding alternatives to abortion--without beating someone over the head about it. INCREDIBLE place.
To me, Transformation Means
Transformation is an Evolution. When it started for me, it was about losing the GI-NORMOUS gut and 65 extra pounds of fat while gaining energy.
It then became about loving MYSELF enough to take care of myself--both for me and my loved ones...like putting my own oxygen mask on in case of an Emergency so I could better take care of others around me.
Then, it became about taking what I've been given and trying to help as many people experience Transformation for themselves. To be a great example to others and to spread this wonderful message to as many as I can with as much love and humor as possible.
What it seems to be for me now is to SERVE THE MANY in the best form I can, to follow the 'Magnificent Mission' that God has put in my heart to accomplish while I am in this body in this World. YEEESSSSSSsssss!!!
My Goals
***Editor's Note: These Goals have changed/are changing at any given time as I am growing through this process***
My Goals are not modest. Hold on to something while I rattle these clear, specific, goals for you:
--I am finishing this 18 week Transformation challenge-- NO MATTER WHAT. Done! Actually x2! ;0)
--I LOOK inspiring to others, giving me the credibility to truly talk to people about making changes in THEIR life, like I've done in mine. "Who you are speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you're saying." Done!
--I have more Energy than I had as a 25 year-old, when I finished the Body of Work challenge~~energy to burn, baby! I have the Energy to pursue more of my rather large dreams! Done!
--I am using my Transformation as a starting point to inspire my family, my workplace, my church and those folks here on T.com to step into the life that we're supposed to be living--not just physically but in other areas of life. Done!
--I've involved my eldest daughter, Amanda (age 9, but going on 30+, she's such a Lady) in my Transformation and she has seen what can be done with goal setting, vision, and hard work. She also has a profound appreciation of a healthy lifestyle. Done!
--My Angel has seen that, not only has her Hubbie done this--but he is maintaining his new life. She sees a new and improved Chipper! Done!
New and Improved Goals, June 2010!
--I have Fully Fleshed out and have ABSOLUTE CLARITY on this 'Magnificent Mission' that is now burning in my heart.
--I have Finished and PUBLISHED my first book to help others in my profession, along with its companion website and forum! YES!
--I ran the FULL DENVER MARATHON in October 2010! And I didl it with a huge, goofy smile, wearing a big Cowboy hat while 'High-fiving', hugging and bringing as much joy to those around me as possible that glorious day!
--I Organized and Pulled off an Incredible Thanksgiving Day 'Gratefulness' Run for the Troops in Killeen, Texas. We raised more than $10,000 to help the families of those that lost their lives while defending their Country.
--I Published a story in our local paper about Transformation. I used all of my Marketing and Sales ability in doing it to get dozens more people involved in this wonderful place--and had a small hand in helping them change their lives!
My Intentions
To Fulfill My God-Given 'Magnificent Mission'.
Who I'd Like to Inspire
Please don't think this is being too bold. But I'd like to inspire THE WORLD.

Hey there!!! Happy almost 2012!!! We both have so much to be thankful for, don't we? I sure hope you stay in touch. You are a class act. Blessings, Kimberly
Thinking of you, and wishing you the absolute BEST, always!!! I can still picture you pulling out the 26.2 miles with me last October. You kept me going, more than you can ever imagine! You've got heart, and I appreciate you. Blessings, Kimberly
Just dropping by to wish you success on the next chapter in your Transformation. I know you can do it. You did such an amazing job. Should be a walk in the park. Ok, maybe a few 1,000 sprints in the park. :) Have a great week. Davis
Hey there Mr Chip! Great to hear from you man. Things are going well with me and the family. Life is very full, with lots of things, not the least of which is joy! :-) Cathy and I are doing a 70km bike event up and down a mountain this weekend, and then I'm running the Melbourne marathon with my brother in Oct. My preparation isn't quite up to these events, so there will be a bit of pulling it out on the day... But I'm sure it will be rewarding (as well as excruciating :-). Hope you and the family are well. God bless, Paul.
Super Mega Loving STARJUMPS of Triumphant JOYous Jubilation for Mandy and her Beautiful Transforming Dad, Chipper! Great to have you on board stronger than ever! Hugs, Diane xox

Hi! Just thought I would pop on over to see how you are doing. :) Have a wonderful day!!!! Hugs ~ Jackie
Thank you for your nice comment on my new blog about the new Web-TV show. Our program will be on each Monday at 4:00 PM on the West Coast (7:00 PM back East) and we get started this coming Monday, April 11. We’re going to have a lot of fun with each show and have some inspiring surprise guests. We’re also going to give away some great prizes to people who join us live and also to those who share the show link on Facebook and Twitter. To watch the show, just come here to Transformation.com and click a new tab that will be in our menu bar above that says “Web-TV Show.” That new tab will be up there by next Monday. Next week I’ll tell you how to watch a rebroadcast of the show in case you miss it. Thanks again and have a great day! ~Bill Phillips
Hi Chip! Thanks for stopping by, it was good to see you. I enjoyed getting to know you in Denver, it was great and I look forward to seeing you again! It's great to be back, I have missed everyone and am looking forward to moving ahead...finally! Stay in touch! Steve
Hey there one half of the Chip & Dales, great to hear from you! I'm doing great. Busy busy busy, but loving life, and continuing to try and go where Christ is telling me to. How are things in Texas? How are your beautiful girls doing? If you'll excuse me Muscles from Brussels, I've gotta go each a vegemite sandwich (in truth I can't stand the stuff!). Cheers, Paul.
Where are you???? I miss your smilin' face around here. Come visit sometime, eh? :)
Read this today...thought I would share..... Hugs.... Jackie ................................We are surrounded by graceful surrender. The geese surrender to the first autumn chills, and think of flying south. The flower surrenders to the night and shuts up shop as the setting sun surrenders to the horizon of another day. A mother surrenders to the needs of her baby, and the child surrenders to the wisdom of the father. These kinds of surrender are sweet and natural. They are graceful movements in a dance to the subtle symphony of life. While we may find moments to surrender to such grace and beauty, if we are not careful, we also tend to allow ourselves to surrender to our appetites, to envy, to greed and then to self centred lifestyles in which we serve only ourselves. No grace there - only the disgrace of self-inflicted slavery. Whatever we surrender our minds to, will eventually shape our character and define the quality of our life. Be careful what you surrender your mind to, even if it's only for a day, or an hour. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
CHIP!
Thanks, CHAMP! I'm still hanging in there. Corporate America has trained me very well, and I too get stone hard just like them. They think they can bend me, but I'm a rough one, as well as a positively persistent BUZZARD! Ya boy was NOT playing when I said "we will stay the course". Ain't NO quitter over here. Noooooooooooooooooooo siiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr =) And MCG will continue to not settle, while striving to move forward @ full strength! =) Happy new years to you my friend, Shawn
Happy new Year Chip, hope 2011 brings you much happiness and joy. Rohan
Hello there buddy! I hope you are having the best of holiday seasons. How is Laura doing? Are we adding another beautiful princess to the bunch or what? =) I've been thinking of you and your super duper family a lot lately. I hope this message finds you all well!! (((BIG HUGS))) Ariel
Chip! Merry Christmas my friend! Hope your holidays are most joyous! Best wishes for another amazing year! Much love - Bill
Merry Christmas brother! Thinking of you and your family...Wishes that you are blessed with a wonderful holiday season to share with your loved ones Chip! best, Tom
One of the ways I love to share Christmas with my friends is in this song. Can't sing it to you from here, but I can send you the lyrics... :) Oh Holy Night Oh Holy Night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices. Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine, Oh night Oh Holy night Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine, Oh night Oh Holy night Hugs n Prayers MERRY CHRISTMAS Jackie
