Body

I hate this picture so much! It was a fantastic moment in my life, and a picture anyone in Keller Williams would frame. I hate the way I look, and it's one of the worst versions of my physical appearance I've ever been in. The irony is, the orange letters in the background say, "Empower Yourself." I had just finished "BOLD," a coaching program created by Dianna Kokoszka who is pictured with me. She came to Houston to visit Keller Williams real estate agents in Houston that took BOLD after Hurricane Harvey. At that point, I was on my 5th or 6th time taking BOLD, and had only ever heard of Dianna Kokoszka. To actually meet the person who created the program that changed, me, mentally, for the rest of my life, was such an honor, and I barely wanted to take the picture, regardless of how grateful and excited I was.
Lots of people ask me to see a picture of what I looked like at 198.5 lbs, and this is the one I think of.
I wish I could say I got it together after taking that picture. I knew it was time, and it would be another 2 years before I took my life by the reigns in regard to my physical appearance.
I kept choosing to stay in the very definition of a toxic relationship, and I didn't choose to end it, for another year and a half.
In the Mind, Body, and Soul alignment of my life, and myself, the "Mind" part of it definitely came first! I had to clean up ALL my negative self-talk, the hatred of myself, and my body. I had to remove negative words, and change my vocabulary to stop attracting more of what I didn't want into my life. I had to go through a mental sanitation process, and change how I think, before I could even get to making changes to my body.
Mind, Body, and Soul, did, in fact, come in this order for me! It starts with mental mind work, and your self-esteem. The me in that first picture, couldn't run 10 feet. Now, I run 5 and a half miles a day without stopping! I was 40 years old in that first picture with Dianna Kokoszka, and I just turned 45 years old a few days ago. It's never too late!

If you're tired, and warn out right now, and you want to change... you can't keep doing what you've been doing, or you'll keep getting what you've been getting! "You can have excuses or you can have results, and you can't have both!" ~ BOLD law~ Don't wait one more second to change your life. Whatever that means for you!
I did not make being overweight look good at all! I was fat, not phat, and I felt I looked very masculine. None of us knew what was under that 40 -60lbs of fat I was carrying! Find and Discover yourself now!
