Men Day 6, Friday January 15th

"I have generally found that a man who is good at an excuse is good at nothing else."
Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin is one of my favorite historical figures and full of incredible quotes; but this is one of my favorites. We can either be good at making excuses or exceptional at finding a way - it comes down to a conscious CHOICE.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - On the morning of April 3rd we will be taking our after pictures. I am excited to announce that our friends from the group iBelieve are coming to present on a new and exciting topic. They will present AFTER we take our pictures and I promise the entire morning will be charged with positive energy and excitement. Mark your calendars and stay focused.... those of you who have seen these guys before know you are in for a treat, so let's show them that we practice what THEY are preaching. This will be a FREE seminar.

  4. Tom,

    I LOVE Ben Franklin. My favorite:

    A French woman one tapped on his ample pot belly and joked,
    "Dr. Franklin if this were on a woman we'd know what to think." To which Franklin replied,"Half an hour ago, mademoiselle, it was on a woman, and now what do you think?"

  6. Hey Tom,

    That protein shake I've been having has 25g of protein and 3g carbs in 1 scoop. I had 2 scoops in my shake. I think the brand was Whey or something like that. I know Sara asked Jody about it and she said it was good. Let me know if it's OK. Thanks!

  23. Doug - blueberris are a fruit. Snacks... not sure how to answer that. Do you feel like you are not eating enough food? Are you hungry? Its more likely that you just want a "snack" out of habit and not because you are actually hungry. If you ARE actually hungry then eat more protein as I said in the meeting. Eat as many veggies as you want and be sure you are drinking a lot of water

  24. Albert - eating the protein is CRITICAL... you've been short all week. Please adjust
