Now That’s Dedication

Seriously, whoever came up with this rig is super dedicated. (I highly doubt it is the young lady in the pic).  2 coffee cans filled with cement, a pole between them and a bench made of 2×4’s and some crates – NICE.

Really?

Die on a Treadmill?

Written by Joshua Carter on January 17th, 2010

I just saw this video clip and instantly thought of you guys.  It is from an interview Will Smith did while promoting the movie “I am Legend”.

In this clip Will talks has several inspirational points, but the one about the treadmill really caught my attention.  It speaks to the importance of “Mind Set” and believing in oneself.

Die on a treadmill?  Well, sorta.

To find out what he means you must watch the video.

(The whole video is good, but you can fast forward to 4:15 to get to the treadmill part)

I Screwed Up (yet again)

Written by Joshua Carter on January 12th, 2010

Well I’ve done it again.

Due to a few extenuating circumstances (not the least of which was me co-coordinating my own schedule – I should never be in charge of that) I have had to postpone the start of the 6 Week Body Transformation Program.

isu_i_screwed_up_tshirt-p235801269947039200tr96_400So instead of staring this week – it starts next week.  You may think that is no big deal BUT…

This is GREAT NEWS for you!

Especially if you who were on the fence about signing up – because now you still can!

Goal’d Mettle

Written by results on January 6th, 2010

Ok, the title is a stretch.

I intended to imply that you should strive to reach your goal, and have the fortitude to persevere. (Google “mettle”)

You may have inferred, however, that Josh has lost it and can’t come up with a decent pun for a title.

So let’s just agree that implications and inferences aside you should get from that title what I meant to say and not necessarily what I said.

Agreed?

Moving on…

I have talked about the importance of goals before (Click Here), but given the time of year I thought I would revisit the topic.

Ho Ho Hold on a Minute…

Written by results on December 22nd, 2009

Let me ask you, have you recently been mistaken for Santa (or Mrs.) Claus?

1222santa-on-the-scaleAre random kids jumping on your lap, telling you what they want for Christmas and that the have “good” all year?

Do people ask you where you parked your sleigh?

Are you shoes caked with crusty reindeer poop?

Are elves following you?

Are you unusually jolly?

When you laugh does anyone point and say “Hey look, a bowl full of jelly!”?

Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around this time of year.  And I can help you avoid further embarrassment and confusion.

Heart Warming News

Written by Joshua Carter on December 8th, 2009

Did you ever have one of those days where everything went wrong?  From beginning to end, absolutely nothing went your way?  Those days seem to occur all to frequently.

Well yesterday was the exact OPPOSITE of that.

But let me start at what SHOULD have been the beginning of Gabe’s operation ordeal, last Friday.

(NOTE:  For those who missed the original posts, catch up by first reading Gabriel’s Heart, and then Put On Hold.)

Worst. Friday. Ever.

Put On Hold…

Written by Joshua Carter on December 4th, 2009

First let me say thank you to all who have emailed, posted comments and called with your love and support.  I cannot express how much it means to myself and Denyse.  The outpour of support was truly overwhelming, so I thank you from the bottom of my (our) heart(s).  I would reply to each of you to thank you individually, but as you probably know I am far to lazy for that :)

But here is the current deal…

It has been an extremely aggravating morning.

Gabriel’s Heart

Written by Joshua Carter on December 3rd, 2009

Tomorrow, December 4th, 2009 my son Gabriel Thomas Carter, age 7, goes in for an heart operation.  But before I go into whats and whys,  let me tell you about Gabe.

Gabe, in the Beginning…

October 8th, 2002 was the greatest day of my life.  It was the day I officially met my son Gabe for the first time outside of an ultrasound.    (I am also fortunate to have gotten a repeat of that day 3 years later when I met my second son, Nate, but I’ll save that for another story.)
