New Adventure

   My family and I have finally started our new adventure. I have been living in Colorado for almost 2 months now, well as of Tuesday we are finally here as a family. This is a very special and important step for us. We will miss everything we had in Vernal but we also know it will always be close to our hearts. We have learned so much from living there that we hope to put into play here and to learn more everyday.

   We have so much to learn, but we are so excited to meet new people and to become new people. We have lots of goals as we are here to progress with life. We hope to become better people in all aspects of life and to Own our Life. We hope to grow ever closer as a family and have a lot of adventures together and explore beautiful Colorado.

¹change

 verb \ˈchānj\

: to become different

: to make (someone or something) different

: to become something else

  Change is to become different or become something else. The word "Change" is also a verb, verbs denote action. This is very important cause this is what we as a family hope to do. We hope to change for the better. We want to become something else. we want to grow. We want growth and change. When making changes in life we are forced to grow no matter what. We force ourselves to become something else, that can be for the better or for the worse, as always we are to choose. What will you choose? Will you choose better? Will you Change? or will you fight change to stay the same? Life isn't about staying the same, it is about change and about Growth? What will you do? You decide... #ownyourlife

Daily choice become a Lifestyle.b

Everyday we are faced with hundreds of choices. We get to choose each one. If we change one everyday, eventually we will make the right choice every time. Then from there it only gets easier. For example at a restaurant, how easy is it to drink a pop. But next time say a lemon water. eventually it becomes a habit and a lifestyle. Diets are restricting, but a lifestyle is simply a way of life.

I have been on a roller coaster fitness journey for most of my life. At the point of my highest weight I hit 292. That was a scary moment for me. I could lift a lot of weight, but we all know almost 300 lbs is never healthy. I slowly cut down. I leveled out at a steady 282 ~ 285. My Family and friends did a 30 day challenge, as i watched their success and me being in the same exact spot, I sat in front of the mirror realizing something has to change. This isn't fair to your beautiful wife or kids.

So I found a 24 hour gym in Greeley, Colorado call Anytime Fitness. I had to have flexible hours cause I work around the clock right now. The gym is very nice and has everything I need.

                          This was on September 13, 2014. At a solid 282. Lots of work to do.

This was in 2009. I was 200 lbs. So I know it can be done, I just need to get off this roller coaster cause it is not a fun place to be.

Thanks for following my journey. I am also starting instagram hashtagownyourlife. Follow my progress and recipes and everything else on there. #ownyourlife..

I am a champion - the greatest speech ever [ENG SUB]

   What a leader. What an example. WHO AM I? ask yourself. Can you respond? I AM A CHAMPION? It may not be football, it may not be basketball, or any sport. But in life can you look in the mirror, ask your self WHO AM I? Then respond with full honesty I AM A CHAMPION? Yes you can, you can everyday. I was once taught by a great speaker and teacher, Lennon Ledbetter, He taught me the phrase. "Winner Walking." You remember that. Cause you are a CHAMPION, and you are a Winner Walking.

About me.

     I am a complex man trying to take over my own life. I have a beautiful wife that takes great care of me and keeps me on track. I also have 2 beautiful daughters that keep the smile on my face and that push me to Own my life so that I can make theirs better. I am an Entrepreneur, I love money and business. I also love to serve and help others. In serving I want to help others reach their full potential. I just started a fitness program that I have created and am on a fast track to a healthier life. My family and I have just moved to Evans, Co for work and to try out a new adventure. I am very religious and am very proud to say I believe in Jesus Christ.

      I have created this blog to not only help me to learn to Own My Life, but to help others to Own theirs. Life quickly passes us by. Opportunities slipping our hands at every turn. I aspire to be a motivational speaker and writer. This blog is also to help me create a better way of writing and talking. I am open to any comments and feedback. Knowledge is power. Growth comes from criticism. Through reading this blog you will be traveling through inspiration, fitness, diet, family, religion, and Life in general. Thanks to all.
