Practice What I Preach Day 37

Happy October 6th, and Happy Autumn

Day 37 of Juicing over 2 months of vegetarian lifestyle. No meat, is not a big deal,avoiding carbs,like cheese, ect , more difficult. Obviously I am or have gotten off track as I am back to #262.2, Girth 48 ", VBF 23%. Issue is time management, and eating after I come home. Juicing is time consuming, often teh juice tastes disgusting, and if not has too many carbs(apples,carrots,beets). Working , domestic obligations, and not weight training and engaging in a dedicted aerobic conditoning program add to the backslide. I have been practicing my Qi Qong. Patinets whom I've offereda variation of the juiceing lifestyle/plan to, 2 to 3 times a week, and eating meat, low glycemic diet, have remarked they've had more energy.

Well I'll check back in in a month, and see if I can follow thru, not cheat, and actually Practice What I Preach.

Top 5 Goal:

1) Juice at least 4 days a a week

2) Wt Train 90 minutes  once a week

3) Swim  40 minutes Once a week

4) Walk one hour  twice a week

5) Practice Qi Qong 7 Hours a week

So, to get back on track , hows about I  start by  by following thru on  my little guide:

"How to Accomplish Almost Anything"

6 Basic Human Needs

1) Certainty

2) Diversity

3) Significance

4) Connectiveness

5) Growth

6) Contribution

Five Levels of Experience

1) I like it, it Is Good for me and Helps Others

2) I don’t like it, but it Is Good for me and helps others

3) I Like it, I am not sure it is good for me, but it does help others

4) I like it, but it is Not Good for me, and does not help others

5) I don’t like it, it is Not Good for me, and does not help others


7 methods to sabotage any process, DO the Reverse to Fix it

1) Have a negative attitude towards the process

2) Avoid an Abundant /Enthusiastic attitude/mentality

3) Don’t have a Strategy

4) Don’t follow that strategy thru

5) Rely entirely on experts

6) Fail to maintain a Vigil once successful

7) Allow crisis to turn into catastrophe, a lack of resilience


12 Methods to Solve any Problem

1 ) Manage your emotional state

2) Focus, 20 % on the problem, 80 % on the solution

3) Obtain and maintain momentum, write it down

4) Analyze the issue

5) Re assess, Redirect, your method/ solution

6) Recruit Role models to assist, people who’ve been there ,negotiated a similar problem successfully before

7) Reassess your relationship with this challenge

8) Find out what is good about this challenge

9) Find out what is not perfect yet, but could me

10) Find out what are you willing to do , to solve this challenge
11) Find out what you are no longer willing to do ,or continue doing to solve this challenge

12) Find out how you can deal with this challenge and enjoy, learn ,grow from the process

Practice What I Preach Day 17

Day 17, of PWIP. No real change this week, mostly because I didn't exercise, and cheated.




Didn't eat meat, but at grain and had a pint of Bailey's. It is all Physiology and Physics.



Success is all about planning, time management and vigilance. I did purchase a Champion Juicer with Greens and Mills Attachment.



SO now I know again the price of complacency, Stagnation.



My Wt. 260.2, Girth 47.5, VBF 23 %



Hopefully I will be more Vigilant and lessen my tendency to Procrastinate.



Epiphanies I have had over the last few years: From newest to oldest:



1) I am not responsible for the happiness of others, only my own.

2) If I can help, then good, but everyone must own that personal responsibility.



2) What is the purpose of studying martial arts? To protect the Karma of others. If that is my Intention, it comes from compassion.



3) I do not own my Reputation, that is an ephemeral perception of others. I do own my Integrity.



4) Do one's best, with the wisdom, mindset, abilities you possess at that given time, and environment, but do not attach yourself to the outcome.



5) Main purpose of being human, meaning for existence, Is to love and care or each other, and Play. To enjoy this universe and planet, while caring for it and others. All other activities are related to this. Loving ourselves, and each other, are the prerequisites,

to Loving God.



Well, till next week. Strength & Balance

" Practice What I Preach"10 days down 245 days to go.

Well, completed a 10 day introduction to PWIP," Practice What I Preach" Program. Weight 260# (lost 4#) Girth is 47 in, (lost an inch), VBF, still 23 %. Completed a mostly Vegetarian, Fruit, Nuts Diet. Started back to weight Training, my program is below. Cheated some, a few drinks, a little ice cream, blended and juiced my food, but also has vegetable soups, salads and worked m 50 hour work week. Goal is to transition to mostly Juiced vegetable, fruits, No cheating. I am Off of work, from 31 Aug to 13 Aug, about 2 weeks, to accomplish this program. Will Reboot, with 10 day Juiced programs, every month from then on, and continue to avoid cooked foods except for an occasional soup, eat only fruits, (low Glycemic) an, Vegetables, and some soy and nuts. My program is compromise of the SexyKrazyCancer and the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dad program.


I am up to 6 minutes for Cross Hands Standing Qi Qong Posture, Total Weight about #23,400 , up from #18,400, Swimming is 700 meters, in 25 min. SO, some progress.



I'll keep up my blog, calling it, "Practice What I Preach”, as I am always counseling my patients on fitness, diet, stress management, but am far from being the Poster Boy, of what I preach, but that will change.

Strength and Balance. Bill Swann D.O.

Fat Sick and Soon to be Nearly Dead

So

It has been a while since I made a post. Alot has occurred, Workng on 5 grandchildren, have a new job as an Internist at BAHC, Ft. Detrick, MD, gained #15.

ALot to be healthy and live for, alot of years attempting to walk the walk, waiting for the "physician to heal thy self" . So ,what better Venture, than to attempt to reproduce and commit to the "Reboot" ,as seen in Joe Cross's " Fat ,Sick and Nearly Dead" Follow his path, the path of Chris Karr of Sexy Krazy Cancer, and regain my Health, be an example , Not a warning? SO, here we Go. It is about 11:08 P, EST, I weigh, on my OMRON Body Composition Scale, 264#, 30.8% Body Fat, 23 % Visceral Body Fat, 69 1/2 inch tall, have a BMI of 38.5 % and an Abdominal Girth at teh Umbilicus of 48 inches. Unlike Joe and Phil who in about 60 days lost 82 and 91 # respectively,on a 100 % Vegetarian Fruit Juiced Diet, I am GOing to go 100 %, but about 0 % Juiced, using some Soy and and Lentil source for protein. Also, unlike my mentors, I will stillhave to work, and plan on swimming, weight training and practicing my Yoga, Qi Qong and Tai Ji Quan.

I will make weekly posts, accounting for calories, diet journaling, activity journal,lots of @#!*% and a epiphanies if they come and a few Pics of my progress. So, Lets, see if can transition from "One Who Knew , to One Who Would Do!"
