I agree, it is a very important message. I never got to know my grandmother, my dad's mother, because she smoked all of her life. She died in her early
60's, several years before I was born.
One thing's for certain. I will never smoke.

Oh Chillen, I'm so sorry!!! You do such a wonderful job supporting us here on the forum, I have no doubt that you will do jsut as great a job at home. But please remember to take care of yourself, too. Try not to get overwhelmed by it all. Take a few minutes here and there just to be in the moment, breathe and take it all in. It's not a happy occassion, by any means, but you have to take care of you, not just your loved ones.
You are in my prayers, hon!!!
You are in my prayers, hon!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time.
And don't forget to share the load when you're starting to feel all the weight that you're carrying on your back for everyone else. I may be brand spankin new here, but I can already tell that you've got plenty of good folks willing to help you with some of YOUR heavy lifting.
Rock on, dude.

Thank you very much! We have him home now, and he is doing okay, but is breathing rather hard.
Thank you for your thoughts!
Thank you Phate. He is home now, he isnt breathing well, but is doing okay.
The family is okay. We are a loving family and we are strong. I believe family takes care of one another; we are not allowing him to go to a nursing home to die.
Thank you
Chillen

October 31, 2007: Thoughts for the day (1)
If you want to find the real enemies that stand between you and the leaner, energized, dynamite body you want, take a moment to determine what your "persistence Inventory" is; this may lead to discoveries that will:
In this you will find not only weakness of your persistance, but also deeply rooted subconcious causes of this weakness:
1. Failure to recognize and define clearly EXACTLY what you want.
2. Procrastination that are backed up through execuses---one right after the other.
3. Lack of interest in learning more about getting what you want
4. In decision. Either you do or you dont. Quit waiting
5. Coming up with an infinite number of reasons NOT to do something instead of creating a plan to SOLVE your problem
6. Indifference. Giving in to your Compfort Zone. For example:
Gee, I had a hard day. I should skip this one workout and get some rest.
You: Uh! Okay! Yea! Im tired, and off to bed you go.
7. Pointing the finger and playing VICTIM:
I would have, IF ONLY or Poor me.....pppppPLEASE....
8. No Desire or not strong enough desire to get your BUTT in gear
9. The Willingness, Even Eagerness, to QUIT at the FIRST SIGN OF DEFEAT.
10. No organized Plan. How can you get better when there is nothing to analyze?
11. Being a LUMP ON THE FRICKEN LOG. You let ideas and opportunities pass you by and you live:
Shoulda's, Coulda's, and Woulda's
12. You continue to wish......and thats about it.......
13. Thinking Negative.........AMBITION is down the fricken toilet.
14. Seraching for ShortCUTS, a something for NOTHIN mentality, trying to get without------a FAIR EQUIVALENT!
15. Fear of Criticism, failure to create plans and take action on them, because of what others may think, say or do.....BUH!....You let other people control your life to a degree........
WHO IS THE FRICKEN BOSS HERE..........?
I wiish all of you the BEST OF EVERYTHING YOU SET OUT TO DO!

What is your Persistence Inventory?
If you want to find the real enemies that stand between you and the leaner, energized, dynamite body you want, take a moment to determine what your "persistence Inventory" is; this may lead to discoveries that will:
GIVE YOU A NEW GRIP ON YOURSELF
In this you will find not only weakness of your persistance, but also deeply rooted subconcious causes of this weakness:
1. Failure to recognize and define clearly EXACTLY what you want.
2. Procrastination that are backed up through execuses---one right after the other.

1. Successful People Believe their own dreams and goals are valid--even if thats all they have to go on.
Belief in yourself is the KEY
Achievers know that we are not born with the same physical, mental, and environmental attributes. But they do know that everyone has the same potential and right to feel excitement and motivation in believing we deserve the very best in life.
2. Achievers have clearly defined goals and action plans
There is specific sense of direction based on the achievers desire (not designated by someone else). Successful people KNOW there they are going and how they are going to get there. Their plans have times frames of achievement.
3. Achievers WORK THEIR PLANS
Achievers give 110% effort, energy, and what ever time it takes to reach their goals, and they PERSEVERE!
4. Achievers are Flexible
You will survive and THRIVE when your flexible to change. When your compfort zone KICKS IN, its time to do some thinking.
Are you willing to use a different method to achieve your goal? Are you giving it your all. What are you doing that is getting you results? What are you doing thats NOT getting you results? ELIMINATE whats NOT working!
KEEP LEARNING ABOUT YOURSELF-----and what you can do to be at your BEST!
I wish all of you the best each day, everyday, day in day out.......ALL THE TIME!

1. Accept FULL responsibility
YOU are responsible for your own body. Yes, this may be obvious and a simple statement, but do you REALLY FEEL THIS?
Unless you are held at gun point, should you be watching TV instead of weorking out?
The fricken choice is yours. YOU are always making choices, some healthy some not, and these choices do form a pattern of behavior, ans sometimes you dont like the CONSEQUENCES of these behaviors......like getting overweight or possible getting a disease.
BUT YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE!
By accepting FULL RESPONSIBILITY.........Your good judgement brings its own reward.
2. Dont take a BAND-AIDE Approach to your health
Being healthy is MORE than taking a Vitamin, drinking lots of water, or eating right.-------really you say.....(what is it then, folks?)
For example, you can take a vitamin and then smoke a cigarette, or take b vitimin to combat stress......but unless you eliminate the stress SOURCE it will remain. Sugar-coating your bad habits......and you LOSE.....PERIOD!
3. Write your way to a SELF-UNDERSTANDING
I have PREACHED this since I joined this forum......YOU MUST LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF.........KNOW THY SELF!
Doesnt it make sense that in order to IMPROVE you must ----get to know yourself to SELF-IMPROVE?........Of course this makes sense.
Keep a journal, jot down your thoughts, feelings, ideas and stimulate the process of growth and change.......
This is MY secret......I draw ENERGY from knowing ME.....and How to DEAL WITH ME........
Honestly reflect your feelings.........
4. SET YOUR GOALS
Differences between you and another one that is success, is well, RESULTS!
Keep the mind FOCUSED and with confidence RISING.............
Do you know one thing you have control over to a large degree.....ITS YOUR TIME.....DONT WASTE IT!
5. Set Long term and short term goals
Create a strategy for getting THERE........
Short term goals can empower and enable your focus and move you along to the REAL GOAL you WANT.......the long term one......(The body you seek)
6. DEFINE YOUR SUCCESS IN YOUR OWN TERMS.......NOT SOMEONE ELSES
Cultivate and DREAM---------BABY!
Commit to COMPLETION
7. Get ADVICE and FEEDBACK FROM POSITIVE PEOPLE ONLY!
There are always those that DONT want you to grow and change...Throw them in the mental trash bin......
This is IMPORTANT.......DARN IT......it would be nice to have your own cheer leading squad to pump you UP......CONNECT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE........
8. KNOW that some of your freinds dont "necessarily" know what is BEST FOR YOU!
Sure they may love or like you......but when they start to talk you out og a workout or a meal that is best suited for you........ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES....
9. THANK YOUSELF.......YES......Congratualate YOURSELF!
If you get too focused.........you can smear the picture and not realize just how much you HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.....along your journey.
You can get discouraged.........SO DONT LET THIS HAPPEN
10. WHAT IS STOPPING YOU.......
You have tremendous potential.........
EACH DAY BRINGS A NEW YOU.......IF YOU ONLY GO AFTER IT!
ROCK ON!
SUPER CHARGE YOUR FRICKEN HEALTH!
