Wow here it is November 2, 2018.
This month I want to focus on the people that I am thankful for. These people have done wonders for me and I just want to share why I am thankful for them.
I am working on the 5.4 project now and will be sharing information about the team that is helping me on the 5.4 project.
I want to lift up my main body mechanic; Chris of The Otter Bodywork Spa; Chris has excellent deep tissue technique and works very hard to keep the knots out of my body. Chris has been working with me for about 10 years now; He enjoys what he does, and he is very compassionate with his clients. If you need an excellent Masseuse I highly recommend him. He is based out of Tulsa, but he does visit other areas. If you want the best massage you want your body work done by Chris.
Tomorrow I will be sharing information about some of the best Personal Trainers that I have found in the Tulsa area, each have been instrumental in helping me reach my goals.
Wow here it is November 1, 2018 and you haven’t heard from me for a while. I must apologize for my absence for such an extended time.
I believe sometimes I overly complicate life; at least for me. Maybe it is the same for you. Lately the chorus of a song that keeps going through my head. I’m pretty sure God is trying to send me a message. The lyrics are from a song written by Mark Harris of the group 4 Him it goes; “We need to get back To the basics of life A heart that is pure And a love that is blind A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ The hope that endures for all times These are the basics, we need to get back To the basics of life.”
We try to cram 26 hours in a 24 hour day; practice multitasking all for what. I don’t know about you but I think life should be enjoyed.
OK it has been a while I am slowly making progress on my goal to lose weight but it hasn’t been easy. I currently have two trainers one by the name of Drew over at Elite Fitness Training in Tulsa, he is working with my wife and I to get our bodies moving. Of course we are only working with him twice a week, but we want to make more progress so we also joined Planet Fitness, the membership is very affordable and they offer a free trainer, we are working with Jordan there we are making progress but very slowly; the question then comes up what kind of fuel are you using in your machine. Huh, what kind of fuel are feeding yourself, think of your body as an engine are you giving yourself good food or bad food? We examined our eating habits and like most have a very hectic schedule and weren’t eating properly so we decided to try something very different. We decided to explore using a personal chef to help us change our diet, to a more whole food plant based diet. We found a chef Preston who runs Preston cooks for You, I chatted with him on what we were wanting to accomplish.

Life is full of choices good ones and bad ones. Oh the Forest Gump voice just went off in my head “Life is like a box of chocolates, you don’t know what you are getting until you bite into it.” I may have paraphrased that a little. The truth is there is no good choice or bad choice the truth is they are all learning experiences of you choose to learn from them. There were times I wish I had a do over in life; what would that really accomplish me, another chance to screw up no what I really was wanting was another chance to attempt the event or not do the event using the information I had learned from the previous encounter. Take getting injured moving Lava Rocks (big rocks made from molten Lava) they are big somewhat light but still heavy. I had injured myself went to the doctor was told I needed surgery, ok got that covered I have insurance so no problem.
Tomorrow we start the first of December. I will be working on making the next 31 days very productive and very rewarding for those around me. When I started the 5.0 process I wanted to get rid of the keg and find a 6 pack, well I found the 6 pack in August and the Keg came back in October. This past month I have written more than I have in the past. I have spoken more than in the past. In the coming month I will be designing a new product to be released right after Christmas that will help move us forward next year to make 2016 the most successful year. I am looking for some alpha testers to help me out on this project. We all have items that we want to work on, we have items that define us and some of us want to redefine who we are. If you are interested in being part of the Alpha group comment below and I will send you more information. The group will be an accountability partnership with weekly conference calls and weekly encouragement. I want to help you reach your goals early in 2016. When you reach your goals you help define who you are. For me it is about focusing on the essentials and working on removing distractions. I am opening this up to 12 people for the Alpha group which will launch on December 16th and the rest will launch on December 30th I am excited about helping others find their internal happiness and helping them become who they long to become.
30 Days of Gratitude but every day I will be thankful. I encourage you to be grateful for each day that you are present. I encourage you to be present in every day that you are here. This is a time to celebrate time with family. It is not about the gifts, it is not about out doing the neighbor, and it is about being present with those you love. Write a note to everyone that matters to you letting them know what you truly feel about them. This month of gratitude was about showing what I am thankful for. I am especially thankful for you spending time with me as I shared what I am grateful for and hopefully I have encouraged you to focus on your gratitude as well.
One of the hardest habits to get into is becoming disciplined. When I got ready for surgery back in September I let go of a discipline that helped me get back to where I wanted to be, the discipline of working out regularly. I got lazy kept eating at the same pace I was when I was working out and guess what I gained back most of what I had lost. I started getting back on my diet and in two days I will be getting with my trainer and Chris and we are going to refocus and get this back off. The hard part is we are in the holiday season with food galore. Although I work with a trainer twice a week. I am going to be working out 6 times a week. For the entire month of December, I want to lose what I gained back in December. Next month I will not only be working on the discipline of getting back in shape but I am also developing a new product that is going to help others work on accountability and becoming more focused. For the month of December I encourage you to become more disciplined and paying in cash and not using credit. Be mindful of those around you and enjoy the season. I am thankful that you have been with me on this journey. I can tell you it has been difficult to post everyday. So next month I am planning on just doing the Monday MoJo.
