Hey I'm glad you finally got here! ;) I have been around, just lurking for a few weeks sort of getting my bearings being back in Waco, working as much as I want, or as little as I want - which is AWESOME. It's really nice not being the boss, having to monitor everyone else's stuff and just taking care of my own and helping out wherever I can. I'm really lucky to be back in a situation where I can still help other people while help...

Hard decision..

I was recently invited not only to attend the wedding of a good friend, but to be one of his grooms men. Quite an honor, and I really got excited about it. The downside.. It's 2 weeks after Denver. With starting the new job, the move (Although I haven't moved the furniture yet, that comes next..) and re-aligning myself with my new workout and a new project that I am working on. So, at that point, I had to decide whether to g...

Just flew in from the gym and boy are my arms tired!

I decided to give a new (different) workout a try now that I've got more time available. They're turning out to be longer visits than I am used to, but not as long as I once had. It's a 4 day split (I haven't donw the whole thing yet, just 2 days of it) and it's broken down differently than I was doing before.. Same or similar exercises, butsome sets similar to BFL style being 4 sets 12-10-8-6 although some are 4 sets of 10 or 3-...

Funny gym story

Today was back/shoulder day. Because of tennis elbow and a bad habit of jacking up my shoulders, I start light and it takes me longer to get into it than with other workouts. I had been at it for about an hour and since the gym I am at now has the equipment, I have started doing weighted pull-ups. I used to be able to do 2 45# plates attached to the belt around my waist for 3-4 but right now I am only using 1 45# plate for the s...

Long distance dedication.

Here's the link to the original (CLASSIC! FUNNY!) video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xev41_phil-collins-dont-lose-my-number This is meant in jest, I know there are lots of people hoping to hear from Bill within the next day or two. Keep thinking positive, keep your spirits up and remember that you are all champions in my eyes. ...

Live in the now

“The point of power is always in the present moment.” -- Louise HayGuilt and regret of the past are of no use to you. Live in the present moment, not concerned about the Snickers bar you ate an hour ago or worry about how your boss is going to feel about your report tomorrow.Worrying and being anxious about future events only cause more anxiety and stress. That doesn't mean you shouldn't plan for the future and prepare for...

I'm still here!

I'm in waco.. Looking for a job. Mom is in the hospital, and things are on the crazy side, but I plan to have a job TODAY. (Even if it's just an in-between type job) I'll be back in full force after the weekend!...

Dogs in Heaven

An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and looked in, it was nice - grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin' dog and man would like, but, it had a sign saying "no trespassing" so they walked on. They came to a beautiful gate with a person in white robes standing there. Welcome to Heaven," he said. The old man was happy and started in with his dog foll...

Wouldn't it be nice if...

This process will guide you to a more positive place by SOFTENING RESISTANCE. Use this when you feel discouraged, worried or frustrated. Focus on something you want: A better body condition? Improved work conditions? A new relationship? A lovely home? More abundance? More peace in the world? Travel and fun? You mold your world through ...

No regrets

I've been out of work since May 25. Because of the circumstances, I didn't qualify for unemployment. I freaked out just a little bit for the first week. Over the course of the next few weeks, I remained hopeful and optimistic, although I had a short bout of OMG, but I got over it.It was actually a welcomed change, especially since Assignment #7 in the last round made me realize that I needed to change the environment that I work...

Yesterday's TXT message from Bill

"Truth: We get more of what we focus on because energy flows where our attention goes. What is your focus on right now? Do you really want more of that?" This may or may not relate to you. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but this is something that helped me tremendously and I hope it will help you. When I first began my transformation, I learned one thing that made the process so much easier than I ever thought w...

I almost forgot!

I was so busy with the job hunt yesterday that I forgot to post about this... Yesterday marked 4 years since I started my first BFL challenge. I did it for completely selfish reasons (I was going to Cancun and wanted to look good without a shirt) and got great physical results, although it was about 10 more months before the inner part started to change. It's a landmark date for me, and I'm glad I made the decision to start....

Fellow Wacoan!

I've never been a huge Country music fan, although occasionally a song will catch my ear and hold my attention.I heard this on the radio on the way home from the gym tonight, and couldn't figure out who it was. I kept thinking it was Sister Hazel, possibly Kid Rock, but neither of them sounded quite right. When I got home and Google'd it I was really surprised to find that it is Pat Green. Especially since it didn't sound very m...

Published! (Sort of)

I told a few friends this morning that "I got in the book!!" and quickly realized that I should clarify things...I confused poor Mary and she got all excited, but no, I won't be in The new Transformation book, but I will be in the next edition of the Guinness World Records Book. On September 15, 2009 Guinness World Records 2010: Book of the Decade will be released, and I will be included on page 89.I have no idea whether or n...

Anonymous Angels..

Apparently they're pretty abundant around here. Mr. Haro and I had planned on rooming together to cut expenses for both of us. If I booked first, I was gonna tell him and he could just get into the room as my guest. THen he'd only have to get the transport to/from the airport and airfare. I just went to send him a message and saw that his Angel hooked him up for the hotel in Denver. I got a call today also.. An anonym...

Yes, Kathy - I was holding out..

It's true that I didn't want anyone to worry about it. I told a few people, and got similar responses from each of them (Different degrees of OMG) so I figured it would be best if I waited until I went to surgery before I talked about it. For me, it's not really a big deal. It sounds strange, but I would rather be on this end of it than on the outside. I knew I would be OK regardless, I just didn't want anybody else to hav...

Thanks!

Wow. You guys are nothing short of amazing. (Although knowing this community, this is not really unexpected..) Thank you for all of the messages and well wishes. I am still not 100% but should be back to 'normal' by tomorrow. The procedure was successful as far as we can tell, although it will be at least a year before we know for sure if it worked. I have only minimal restrictions for a short time. Again, you all have my deepest gratitude a...
