I'm currently visiting Brandi's mom at a nursing home. This current facility is nice but I hope I never have to stay in one. I can't imagine having to have to be cared for. If I can live to be hundred and take care of myself I would be a very happy man.

Bring back the blog

2011-05-18T08:03:00.000-05:00

So a good friend of mine told me a couple of days ago that he missed me doing my blog and videos. Per his request I will start doing them again. I never realized how much my blogs meant to people. Even if it means just one person. That means someone is paying attention to me and I greatly appreciate. One reason why I stopped doing blogs is because of my job. I use to post blogs everyday until my job blocked it. When I get home I don't even think about it. I know what you are thinking right now. Blogging at work? Must be nice. LOL I know shame on me. But it's when blogs are freash in my mind. However, I did notice something weird at work today. I can blog but I can't view my blog page? OK now that's weird. But I am able to blog. I go have another way to do it. But I don't wanna get caught lol.

Well stay tuned for my blogs to come back. They will be about my Summer Challenge with Jay Sheer and about my current training I'm undergoing :)

Assignment #3 Transcending Unhealthy Habits

2010-01-22T13:11:00.000-06:00

Assignment #3 Worksheet: Transcending Unhealthy Habits

After careful consideration, I’ve become aware that my lowest level habit—the one which will most interfere with my future health and happiness is:
Anger, Self-pity and Jealousy. All of these lead into my unhealthy eating habits which in turn make me a couch potato and wishing I had done something with my life at an early age.

I now hold the intention of being freed from the chains of my unhealthy habit. (If your answer is affirmative, you’ll want to write, ‘Yes, I now hold the intention of being freed from the chains of my unhealthy habit.’)
Yes, I now hold the intention of being freed from the chains of Anger, Self-pity and Jealousy which leads into my unhealthy habit.

Knowing that if I were able to overcome this negative pattern on my own, I probably would have done it by now, I am asking for help from:
1. My Family, wife and son. Most importantly my wife!! My life means the world to me. I look at her everyday and I don’t see how she does it. With all her medical problems she has to be the most high spirited person I have every met in my life. Yes she does struggle day to day with worries but 80% of the time she is a very happy woman and you would never believe it when you met her that she has so many medical problems from diabetes, back,neck, and knee surgeries, needle phobias, being on blood thinner so she could keep the eyesight she has now because she lost so much of it. I look at her and wonder how she does it because I know if that was me I be worse than I am now of the three things I mentioned at the beginning of this assignment.
2. I also need help from my friends here on the Transformation Community. I cannot name just one person because each and every one of you hold a big part in my life. I love everyone here and I look at the happiness this place has and I want it so much.
3. My friend Jay. I’ve know Jay on youtube from doing other Body for Life Challenges for over 2 years now. In fact, Jay is here, he goes my kotsu and on youtube kotsujay. He and I seem to have the same struggles in life and when it comes down to it, he and I have never given up or on each other. Even though I have never met Jay in real life, I still like to call him my best friend. I want to see him exceed this challenge and me along with him. Not only do I need him but I will be there to support him as well.

Three unhealthy feelings that originate from my lowest level habit are:
1. Anger
2. Self-Pity
3. Jealousy

Three ways these feelings interfere with my life are:
1. I can easily get angry when things don’t seem to go the way I want them to. I start yelling and being mad at the world. I let things get to me and when I go for a drive I start yelling at drivers. All this does is brings my blood pressure up and because of this I have to take blood pressure medicine which I would one day love to throw them to the side.
2. When I have feelings of Self-Pity of things I could have or should have done I tend to be a couch potato and I don’t want to do anything with my life which makes me very lazy and I have the look as if someone just died. I sit on the coach eating every few minutes because knowing is satisfying me. Then I get bigger and not making myself better. I don’t want to study to improve myself or anything that could make my life better.
3. Jealousy plays a huge role in my life. I go to work wishing I could make more money at what I do. I see everyone going out buying nice clothes, boy toys and talk about going fishing on their boats and I get so jealous and this makes me want to eat even more to make me happy which keeps making me fatter. If I could only be happier with myself and what I have going for me like my wife and a good job, jealousy would not even play a role in my life.

Three conditions that trigger my lowest level habit are:
1. When the smallest thing in life just doesn’t go right it makes me angry. An example would be if my son doesn’t remember to clean his bathroom on a certain day that I told him to do or remember to do his chore list.
2. Daydreaming or Dreaming. If I start daydreaming of things in the past that I could have or should have done. I wish I had done this to make this better for my life. Instead of joining the Air Force Reserves I wish I had joined active duty instead and it starts my self-pity. Even though because of the AF Reserves it got me where I’m at today. I wish I could be this person one day or be able to do this. And I can’t because I’m feeling sorry for myself.
3. Jealousy  starts when people around me talk about what they did last night and I have a state of jealousy because I feel I have no friends because I shelter myself at home and I don’t get out or they bought a nice car and I have this car and I want to fix my camaro up like he did instead of having to sell it.

Three people who will help support and keep me accountable as I work to overcome this personal challenge are:
1. This is easy. My WIFE BRANDI. The love of my life 
2. This outstanding T.com community
3. My friend Jay  kotsu or kotsujay 

Three feelings I’ll have when I’m freed from this unhealthy habit are:
1. Happiness will now play a major role in my life. I won’t let the small things get in my way anymore. I will be able to take time and think things through.
2. Being Proud of myself and will be proud the day instead of what I didn’t yesterday or years ago.
3. Joy, I actually have more in my life then I realized. Material things don’t get in the way of my life. I get out more and I’m around more people.

Three ways my life will improve from transcending my lowest level habit are:
1. I no longer sit around all day and let my life pass me up and I’m healthy and not only am I proud of the outside but the inside as well.
2. Because of my new healthy Lifestyle I am to focus and study more to improve my career. Now I can and will get those promotions with my civilian job and cross train in the military to do something in the flying world. I even able to ace the PT test and be a mentor for those around me in the Air Force.
3. Now that I’m healthy and proud of who I am, I can be better for my family and never worry about them being alone without me. I can take care of them for the rest of their lives and if they see me happy and healthy maybe they will follow my footsteps.

Transformation Day 50 Hanging In There :)

2009-02-23T09:10:00.000-06:00

Well guys and gals. Sorry that I haven't been updating my blogs as much as I liked to for the last few weeks. I was struggling with my weight and not understanding why nothing is coming off. Yes I'm getting stronger but the weight is still there. I'm eating properly and nothing was changing. Well I take that back. One important did change. The inside of me changed. I'm a better person now. I realized this a few weeks ago in a class when I helped a student out in class that was struggling. Before I would only think about myself and do what I had to do to pass the course. In the end me and the guy both got a 100% in the class and it made me feel really good.

The emotional side of me has really been showing. I watch shows on TV and my eyes will start tearing up. For example. I love watching the biggest loser and I'll start getting so sad for some of the folks I want to see do really good. I watched movie this past weekend and I did the same thing towards the end of the movie. So the transformation exercises are really working on me.

So about my weight? Well I've decided to kick it up a few notches. Mainly cardio and high intensity training. Later I will be posting exactly what I'm doing. I've noticed if I don't keep my self going all day long and motivated with exercise that I start getting lazer throughout the day.

This morning I worked out my upper body. This evening I will be doing som Ab exercises that I found on the net.

Today Meal's

Meal 1 Oatmeal, Cottage Cheese

Meal 2 Protein Shake and Apple

Meal 3 Chicken Sandwich on Wheat with Lettuce and Tomato

Meal 4 Protein Shake and Banana

Meal 5 Wife is making a Veggie Soup Tonight.

Meal 6 Cottage Cheese and Yogurt

All meals have 2 glasses of water :)

The main thing is this whole time I've been hanging on and not giving up. So today's word like the picture is to just Hang In There and not Give Up. There are many t.com friends and none of them gave up on me :)

Transformation Day 44

2009-02-17T10:49:00.000-06:00

I feel so bad since I haven't been giving any updates in the last few weeks. Travelling to Texas, Updating all my work computers and keeping up with my online classes has kept me very very busy.

Though on a good note I'm still working out.

I had a killer upper body workout yesterday and today I would like to take a nice long walk on the bridge with my wife. If not then I will just go for a good jog in the neighborhood.

Meal Plan:

M1 Oatmeal with Whey Protein

M2 Protein Shake with Banana

M3 Chicken Sandwich

M4 Protein Shake and Apple

Transformation Day 23, So Very Sorry :(

2009-01-27T13:55:00.000-06:00

Hey Transformers

I am so very sorry. The last couple of weeks at my job have been very busy for me and I've been slacking on my blogs. Not only that, I'm also slacking on reading all of your blogs as well. Currenly I'm loading Vista on all my work machines and it takes me about two hour per computer and I have about 30 to do. On a good note, I wanted to let all of you know that I have not missed a single workout. However, I did have one cheat day because I have some friends that are moving away and we threw them a little going away party one night at a local sports bar and I ate a Philly Steak Sammich. But I made it up by doing some good cardio :)

My goals this week is to catch up on everyone's blogs and keep all of you updated each day by doing my own blogs as well.

Transformation Day 15 & 16

Meal 2: Protein Shake, Apple and 2 glasses of water

Meal 3: Tilapia and Green Beans. Now where did I put that Carb? Oh there it is, an apple and 2 glasses of water. Here is a little Tilapia recipe. Portion sizes are real small so 3 pieces of talapia is a portion for me. So I made 3 servings, egg substitute to lay the fish in to batter in WASA crackers all crumbed up as fine as you can get it. I crumbled about 9 pieces of WASA crackers. Then spray Olive Oil in pan and cook on both sides until done. Take about 5 minutes total to cook fish and woot almost fried Tilapia Fish :) I sure hope I spelling that fish right hehehe. Oh I made this the night before.

2009-01-14T10:57:00.000-06:00

Well today is another exciting day. I did a killing UBWO this morning and I was heavily breathing the whole time. I got really motivated this morning after watching last night episode of the biggest loser. It came down to the weigh in and the oldest ever on Biggest Loser, Jerry and heavist boy , Daniel, that is 19 hit the bottom of the line. They were both on the same team at that and Jillian wanted them both to stay. It came down for the young boy to stay. I looked over at my wife and she getting all teary eyed. ME? I was trying to hide myself because I was worse. Today all I could think about was him while I was working out.

On another note, I took my son to the cardiologist and he told me Chris didn't have high Cholesterol and his BP was normal yesterday. However, he still wants to find out why Chris is having Chest Pains while he runs as well as find out why he had high BP a few weeks ago. We will be running more test later this month and I will keep you posted.

2009-01-09T08:48:00.000-06:00

What a wonderful day. I woke up about 20 minutes late this morning however, my wonderful wife got me up and we went to the gym together. I'm so really impressed how Brandi has been willing to get up with me in the mornings and hit them gym. Brandi loves getting her sleep in and I really commend her for having the discipline to get up with me and get fit. I was really proud of her this morning about another situation. She really hates to workout in front of people and she wanted to work on her abs. I'm not sure what you call the equipment, but you stand up on it and you can bring your legs to your stomach or you can lift your legs straight out in front of you. She was a little worried about other people watching. I try and tell her not to worry about other people and she even wanted me to stand in front of her to block the view. You have to love her, I smiled and I told her that I had to do my workouts too. So, while I was working on my biceps I looked over and she went and did it anyway. Way to go baby :)

Today I worked my upper body and added some abs workout in. Plus I did 20 minutes on the crossramp machine.

Meal Plan:

This morning 2 glasses of water and orange before the gym.

Meal 1 Oatmeal with Chocolate Protein, 2 glasses of water

Meal 2 Protein Shake, Orange and 2 glasses of water

Meal 3 Brown Rice, Tuna, Broccoli 2 glass of water

Meal 4 Protein Shake, Apple, 2 glasses of water

Meal 5 Baked Chicken, Brown Rice, Veggies and 2 glasses

Meal 6 Fat Free Cottage Cheese, Cinnamon, Apple and glass of water

Transformation 2009 Challenge, Day 4 (FOR MY SON)

2009-01-08T08:50:00.000-06:00

Where was that darn rooster this morning when I needed him to tell me to get out of bed earlier this morning. Oh don't get me wrong :) I still got up early enough to go out in my neighborhood and do a nice speed walk and a 1/2 mile run. Trying to get myself back into shape so that I can try once again to prepare for a 1/2 marathon. Darn the holidays :o) Work had me so busy and I missed many days of running. But no more excuses. Time to get out there and show why I have to run.

I ran into some bad news last week. My son of 17 years old found out last week that he may have a heart problems. He has been into sports since he was 5 years old. About 2 years ago I got him interested in track and cross country. Yeah that's right, me the guy who does not like running. But I do want too. Anyway, about two weeks ago my son told me he was having chest pains when he was running. I immediately told him not to run anymore until we see a doctor. Last week sometime I just could not find a doctor and I took him to a urgi care place just so I can get the guy to listen to his heart and run a few test. Come to find out the doctor there said is sounds like he might have a heart murmur, which is not uncommon in people. But, his blood pressure was very high and we had blood test and a chest xray done too. He also has high cholesterol. Why? I have no clue since we all eat healthy and he runs 5 miles a day. So today I'm waiting to hear back from my wifes heart doctor to see if I can get him in to see her. By the way, when my wife was born, she had three heart surgeries. I believe she told me that she was what you called a blue baby when she was born. So she has had this cardiologist ever since. Keep us in your thoughts.

I also failed to mention that when I got up my son came out of the bathroom to see what I was doing. I told him I was about to go run and you could see it in his eyes that this really bothered him. So today when I was outside running he was my power. I thought about him and what he would do if he could run today so I did it for him.

My meal plan for the day.

2 glass of water before running.

Meal 1 Protein Pancakes and 2 glasses of water
Meal 2 Protein Shake, apple and 2 glasses of water
Meal 3 Almost Fried Rice, ask me about this recipe :), 2 glasses of water
Meal 4 Protein Shake, Apple and 2 glasses of water
Meal 5 Left over 6" Chicken Breast on Wheat Subway, 2 glasses of water
Meal 6 Baked Chicken and Vegetables. 1 glass of water

Transformation 2009 Challenge, Day 2

2009-01-06T10:31:00.000-06:00

Ouch...... That was my words all day yesterday. I got up yesterday and my stomach just wasn't feeling right at all. Despite me being uncomfortable I decided to go to the gym anyway. I was there for a total of an hour. I did about 15 minutes of cardio and had to stop because of my tummy. I looked at my wife still doing her cardio and I said to heck with it. I going to workout anyway and see how much I could do. I did all my chest, shoulder and back exercises and then I was done. I felt like I was in an episode of the biggest loser because I felt like running to the bathroom and throwing up. My wife and I love watching the show because of Jillian Michaels. She is always saying, If you're not throwing up, you're not doing it right!!! So I had to stop a little earlier then I wanted to. But I still got to do some cardio and some upper body :) However my day wasn't finished. My poor tummy looked like I was about to have a baby. I was miserable. I walked around in agony the whole day then I figured out I had gas. Finally made it to walmart later that night and got the gas x. Yeah I was feeling better but Brandi wasn't to pleased with me lol.

Today I didn't make it to the gym or outside for cardio this morning because I was tossing and turning all night with tummy aches and a small headache. I'm feeling great right now, so I get to do cardio when I get off work today.

My meal plan for the day is

Meal 1 Protein Pancakes, 2 glasses of water

Meal 2 Protein Shake, Apple, 2 glasses of water

Meal 3 Left over Asian Stir Fry from EFL cookbook and 2 glasses of water

Meal 4 Protein Shake, Apple, 2 glasses of water

Meal 5 6" Chicken Breast Sub from Subway and 2 glasses of water (I get subway when I got to dropzone)

Meal 6 Cottage Cheese, Cinnamon and Apple and Glass of water

Well last night the water got cold on her for some reason when she was getting a shower and all the conditioner didn't get rinsed out of her hair heheh.

Preparing for my 1st Transformation

2008-12-22T10:52:00.000-06:00

Not only will January 1st be a new year for us it will also be the start of a transformation challenge that I will complete. I have struggled so many times with my past BFL challenges to the point that I almost gave up. Most of this was due to my wifes medical condition and I worried so much about her. How can my wife expect me to take care of her if I don't take care of myself. That's where it hit home. I was always tired and worn out because I wasn't take good care of myself. This is why I cannot fail this time. My wife depends on me and I can't let her down.

Each week I will be here to update my blog. Please pass this on to your friends so that I can have a little support in my new journey.

Where Have I been :)

2008-12-18T09:18:00.000-06:00

I am so sorry for any of you that view my blogger. I have been slacking. Maybe Jay can get me pumped up. I wonder if Terry or even Sean know's I have this blog site.

For those of you that do read this blog from time to time you can also find me on Bill Phillips new transformation site. My profile there is http://www.transformation.com/boyd

Just to let you know I have been actively going to the gym and I'm currently preparing for the new transformation challenge. January 1st will be no more excuses. I know what I have to do and I know what my body needs. So from now on, I get to take care of my body and all those around me. I'm getting really excited. Jay if your reading this please give me a lot of heck if I don't update my blogs at least 3 times a week :) and please let other know I'm trying to do blogs but I need to motivation to do more.

Well that's it for now :)

Myoplex Lite

2008-03-06T15:45:00.000-06:00

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Well I bought my first box of Myoplex Lite yesterday and I just have one word to say about this. OMG. I LOVE IT. If you never tried and highly recommend it. I've been buying the EAS protein and walmart and it does not compare at all. With the other protein I would have to make it and eat a carb with it. Not the Myoplex Lite! It has it all plus vitamins and minerals. Then I learned you can actually get the stuff pretty cheap if you shop around. Anyway I believe now I got more recipe options. Give me a good idea :) It's Video Time :)

Day 57 2 Months Completed

2007-10-29T08:32:00.000-05:00

Well today is day 57. We completed 2 month already. Wow. This is awesome. However for some reason I can't keep myself motivated and I don't know what's wrong with me. When I first started the competition I couldn't wait to get off work to go work out. Now it's the opposite. I almost feel like it's a chore. I think I know what's bothering me. 3 weeks from now is my wedding and I think I'm excited and stressed at the same time. Everyday after work me and the wife to be is driving places. Busy everyday. Plus I got school on Monday and Thursday nights. I almost don't have time for myself. Plus, I haven't even posted a video on youtube. I know I'm letting everyone down. So this week my goal is just to stay focused.

Day 45

2007-10-17T14:58:00.000-05:00

So everyone, in case some of you have been wondering where I have been, I have been on Body for LifeStyle with Sean Symons. That's right. Check it out. www.bodyforlifestyle.com is a site that Sean has created to make our daily body for lifestyle even easier. Some of the folks are from tracker and we wanted a place that we can call home. Sean has even given me a job there to be his Co-Admin. I love him for it. He has taken care of me since day one. We have a lot in common and we both have military backgrounds and see eye to eye on a lot of things. So if you read this blog come check us all out.

www.bodyforlifestyle.com

See you there :)

Day 37

2007-10-09T15:05:00.000-05:00

I'm so sorry. I'm really behind right now. I've been helping Sean Symons with his new website that I completely forgot about my new little blog site here.

Well nothing has changed. I'm really digging that I get to workout from home. It makes like so much easier. On a funny note, Brandi started working hard with me Sunday and since she started training she was never sore. HAAAA!!! This week she can barely walk hehe. Yeah she is a little mad at me but I don't feel to bad because I now know she had a good work out. I told her it should be a good sore and she said no it isn't. It's a bad sore. I know she will be ok and I told her that tonight she should go to bed early.

Well until next time :)

Day 33 (It's So Easy)

2007-10-05T10:17:00.000-05:00

It's so easy :0)

Why am I saying it's so easy? Well let me tell you. I've come to a conclusion that if you can get your cardio and weight training done first thing in the morning then the rest of the day is a piece of cake. No not cake, a shake :) We can't eat cakes unless it's your free day.

I've been getting in a good habit of getting up earlier in the mornings and doing my cardio. I've realized by doing this that the only thing I have to do the rest of the day besides work is to eat on time. Sometimes I'm hungry within 2-3 hours and sometimes I'm not. But I still eat. If I can't eat it all, I don't not force it down.

Now that I have weights at home I can wake up in the mornings and work on my upper body. I will still go to the gym once or twice a week, depending on how I started my week, to do my lower body because there I can do leg presses and things like that which I can not get at home. This will make life so much easier for me. Before I was going to the gym 3 times a week to do weight training and I had to wait in the afternoons because my future spouse and I workout together. She is not a morning person so I had to wait to go in the afternoons to do my workouts. I always did cardio at home. Then after we got back from the gym it was six or six thirty in the evening and I barely had time to fix my meals within the hours I had. Well no more. Life is so much easier if you can get a set of dumbbells and a bench. I know not all of you can do that. So, if you can somehow get to bed earlier and wake up early to go to the gym then try that. I promise you this, your day will be so much easier.

This is why I say, ITS SO EASY :0)

Day 32

2007-10-04T09:15:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was a very good day. I ate right, drank all my water, went to the gym and I worked my lower body. The gym I go to is free and it's always packed. I never have problems getting a good workout for my lower body. However when it's time for me to get an upper body workout it's a real hassle. The gym is packed and I can not get to the equipment.

To fix this I asked my Bride to be if we could get a bench and a set of dumbbells. I started off low and later I will add more weights as I progress. I went to Academy Sports and got a huge deal on a set of dumbbells and a stand to go with it. I even got a discount.

I'm looking forward to using my new weights tomorrow. I did my cardio first thing this morning and I had a very good breakfast. I ate my protein pancakes and instead of syrup, I used natural peanut butter because Brandi forgot our Sugar Free Syrup at work. Oh well, this means I better buy two containers next time :)

In case some of you read this blog and your not familiar with the community of people on youtube, you should check out some of my links. There are some awesome people there doing the same BFL challenge as me. I really look up to these guys. We do daily video blogs and I see it inspiring people everyday. Just click my link for my YouTube account and you will see what I mean.

Today's Event

2007-10-03T10:53:00.000-05:00

Well I just got off my free day and completed one month of the BFL challenge. I fell outstanding!!! I can't wait to see my results next month.

Today I'm doing my lower body workout. I love working out my lower body. To me, the lower body is the easiest exercise. Maybe because it's less muscle groups. Now this doesn't mean I slack off. In fact, I workout harder because it is less muscles to get in shape. I put the weights on and work really hard at what I do.

I talked the sweet spouse, spouse to be that is, into allowing me to buy a few dumbbells and a bench today. Though the gym I go to is free, I find it very hard to get a proper workout on my upper body there because its so packed. I will not stop going to the gym, I will still go there to do my lower body because I do not have 200-600lbs of weights to workout my legs :)

What I would really love to do is buy the 90 lbs of weights offered by bowflex. They have some dumbbells called selecttech which are very nice. One great thing about them is that it cuts down on space and it's all in one. That's what I'd like to have, however since it's a want and not a need I will not buy them. Plus my budget does not allow me to get 600 dollars worth of dumbbells right now.

My First Blog on Body for Life

2007-10-02T13:48:00.000-05:00

OK everyone :0)

This is my very first blog and I know as time goes on I will get better at this. Please excuse my typing mistakes because I hardly ever proof read my writing. So if you see an error be nice :0)

My name is Boyd, this you can already tell, and I just entered the Body for Life Challenge on 3 SEP 07. I heard about the BFL challenge before and I was hesitate about entering the challenge. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to afford to eat right and take the supplements my body needs. I bought the book about 2 years ago and read halfway through it and I layed it down because I got discouraged. Then about 5 weeks ago my spouse asked me if I would start going to the gym with her. At first I was like, nahhh, I don't want to do that. But then I remembered the BFL challenge. I immediately ran to my room after work that day and grabbed the BFL book. I went to the internet and low and be hold? It was time for another challenge. I hurried and signed up and I've been hooked since. Though the food may cost a little more to buy, I'm saving money in the long run because I'm not eating out.

Today is the 2nd of October and I feel outstanding. On the 3rd of September I weighed in at 235 lbs! I'm 6'2" and I couldn't even see my waist or my shoes! Today I weigh 212lbs. I'm 23 lbs lighter and I can see everything below :0) WOWWWWWW If I did this in just a month, I can't wait to see the next month.

Along the way I met some very cool people online. I met people on the Body for Life Guestbook, I met some on Body for Life Tracker. When I got to tracker I met a very nice guy by the name of Sean Symons. He is a great motivater and he inspires me everyday. He introduced me to YouTube where he does daily video blogs. He told me to do a video blog of myself one day and introduce myself to the world. Well :) I'm hooked there now. Everyday I do blogs about myself, if not everyday then every other day. There are a great group of people on you tube doing the BFL challenge and doing blogs on themselves too. They offer great advice and from time to time they will ask questions or just talk about what they on their BFL day.

I'm happy to be part of this great group of people.
