So I decided to juice again - starting very slowly. I juice 2-3 times a week but only once a day. My body has gotten bloated, I ache all over and sick very often. People think that we judge ourselves or govern ourselves based on what others think. But know this, I am not one of them - I am my own judge -- I block my own successes. I need some serious reprocessing on my mindset - I need a jump start. I need to get back to basics and start juicing full time again. A fresh start, cleanse not just my body, my soul and my mind.

Reboot - Reboot - Reboot

Say it, be it and do it!!!

You're judging who?

This may be my last post for the rest of the year - -Why? Let's face it folks if you can't tell people how and what you are honestly feeling on FB without having a family member or friend turn to you and say "you know you shouldn't say what you are really feeling or going through because your boss or future boss reads through posts on FB" then what is the point of free expression on social not business networking -- that's right I said "social" network as in socially as in laid back and relaxed as in not being on your guard 24-7!!!

End of Day 3 Reboot Part II: Wraith of Juice

So today I was good day. I drank my juice and water, felt totally refreshed and unofficially lost a couple more pounds. I know I shouldn't weigh in at night -- I weighed in a few minutes ago - 288lbs - yeah baby down 12 lbs since restarting on 11/1 - with 7 official days to go to by 40th and I'm feeling like 280 is too small of a goal.

What if I drop more than another 8lbs? Can it be? oooh -- I'm getting excited. If I continue to lose 3-4 lbs per day I could be down to 270 or less. I could be 220 by New Years.

Today's menu:
Kale
1 cucumber
2 granny apples
1/2 lemon
thumb of ginger

I saw Jacob today -- he's still having some discomfort -- I'm excited for him -- once he gets passed the first 5 days - he's going feel awesome.

I hope everyone chimes tomorrow to find out more. I'm also happy to announce I have started to exercise - I have resistance bands I've started to use and double crunches.  Get ready folks!!!

Join our Reboot Revolution!!!

Day 2 - November 2nd - Hey look at that!

Hello everyone,

I have had a good day and officially down 7lbs since I restarted my reboot yesterday -- not to steal from Star Trek - but "on my continuing mission, to seek out lost pounds, ways to burn my fat and boldly go where I never have gone before -- skinny and healthy!!! Engage!!!

I have made up a new recipe that is pretty tasty

1 bunch kale
1 beet
1/2 lemon
1 cucumber
thumb of ginger
2 red delicious apples

Yesterday I had something close this -- which I have named Minty Sweet Beet.
6 carrots
1 cucumber
1/2 handful of mint
1 lime
thumb of ginger
2 granny apples

I also have an exciting announcement - I think I have mentioned some of my co-workers doing 1 week to 10 day reboots --One of my co-workers, Jacob watched my dvd of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and got excited. Went out and bought a juice machine and yes, started a 10 day reboot yesterday -- same time as my 30 day. And of course, the Reboot Revolutions grows once more.

Get excited -- I weighed in yesterday morning at 300lbs and weighed in today at 293lbs. 7lbs in two days -- 8 days to go to my 40th birthday -- 280lbs is looking very possible for 11/11/11 and 255lbs is looking very possible for 12/1/11.

Juice on!!!

Day Zero

Hello Fellow Rebooters,

Today is day Zero - -tomorrow, Tuesday, November 1st marks my new 30 day reboot -- Definition of Reboot - to restart, to start a new, clean up and clean out, washing yourself from the inside/out, curing yourself, reset, or to change.  Loosing weight is a great thing, however resetting yourself lifestyle, eating habits, exercise regiment, who you associate with, what you read or watch or listen to, your attitude, your focus and how to deal with stress can affect your life in a bigger way. You can empower others - change the path of your river of choice, make a bigger ripple in the pond or ocean.

Will you join me in my Reboot Revolution? To change the world into not just a better place to live or to raise a family - to reset your mindset and choose a better life. Fellow Rebooters - let's reboot life - restart our existence.

Goal for next 30 days --
Ideal weight for stage II between 260-250lbs
Waist: 42 inches
Exercise: Walking 3-5 miles 3 x week
Meals: Juice

Stage III December 15 - January 14th
Idea weight for stage III between 250 - 220lbs
Waist 38/36 inches
Exercise: Jogging 3-5 miles 3-4 x week
Meals: Juice

Life is a journey not a destination: Day 2 of 15 - Gosh didn't I already do this alread...: Okay folks -- Casey and I successfully finished our 60 days -- I lost a total of 42 lbs and 7 inches off my belly -- I"m sorry that is not e...

Day 2 of 15 - Gosh didn't I already do this already

Okay folks -- Casey and I successfully finished our 60 days -- I lost a total of 42 lbs and 7 inches off my belly -- I"m sorry that is not enough -- and I"m embarrassed to say I cheated, cheated and oh yes cheated -- I cheated myself and any hope of hope - but today is a new day and with a new attitude I can do the impossible -- get up, shut up and work out -- Let's say that together -- GET UP, SHUT UP, and WORK OUT -- move your body to the beat and MOVE it, SHAKE it, TWIST it -- I'm not talking a chocolate milk or Yoohoo folks -- or your Moo Moo -- move your body -- roll over, stretch, crack your back, do some crunches not a crunch bar.

My problem I love food -- pizza, sushi (hey it's raw), burgers, chips, dips, whips (whip cream) -- folks I need someone to beat me into a corner when it comes to this stupid junk food -- call my bank and tell them to refuse charges to purchase anything that doesn't have a green vegetable that hasn't been nuked!!!

I"m on the couch right now sweating bullets and watching Netflix (yes, I'm one of the stupid people paying $17 a month for repeats and old movies) but good news The Biggest Loser is now on there -- all 12 seasons -- I'm sweating watching them work out -- it embarrasses me --

To top this all off - I just got off Facebook -- yes another place to rant - you know that's all FB is -- Please rant here - and by the way show pictures of your youth and see what you looked like before you shoved 20,000 shots of Yeager, 100,000 lbs of Burger King, 200 tons of french fries, 2,000,000 pizza pies and or yeah the metabolism of an athletic super star.

Come on guys - you scream Great Job!!! Have you really done any of this -- know every time you take a step in the right direction  -- you will if you do it right slip up 10 or 20 times -- its enough to wonder if I"m really attempting to lose weight.

Stop gaining weight Brian -- stop ranting -- stop, STOP!!! How am I going inspire others - if I can't inspire myself -- or yeah - stop drinking -- yes I know its easy to be weak - God made you stronger than that -- stick with it and refuse to give in and give up.

Lose the weight or by the way tomorrow which is really today since its 430 in the morning -- come on, go to sleep -- you need sleep to lose weight --

Thursday night is Joe Cross night -- public viewing of FAT, SICK and NEARLY DEAD and Q&A with Joe himself -- I asked several people if they wanted to join Casey and me to go tomorrow -- some people were like "ahh I already saw the documentary on Netflix, why go and why pay 11 bucks -- duhhh you met Joe Cross -- get inspired all over again -- meet others like yourself and share your story - inspire others -- why wouldn't you go!!!!

11/11 is approaching - I need and want to be 260 or below -- I have to lose 30 lbs -- what is going on here -- I'm not there -- stop, stopping, stop it.

Join our Reboot Revolution - is not just about losing weight, its about rebooting your mindset, your attitude!!!!

Juice on!

Celebration Now Come On -- Day 60

Finally at Day 60!!! But the fun is not over - Joe Cross will be in town next week and I need to get to at least to 275lbs -- have some work to do.

Friends, we need to embrace your life and move forward. Learn from your mistakes, build on the truth and make your move. Move to where -- take a leap of faith and make things happen. Go to the gym, drink plenty of water and move your feet. Shuffle, move side to side, ride a bike or get on a treadmill.

Make your move!!! Jump up and get excited!!! Casey and I are at day 60 but not stopping there. 15 more days to victory. Then a small break and take another 15 to make the final weight.

Close your eyes an imagine your victory --- final way in will be this weekend - with our 60 day video celebration.

Juice on and Join our Reboot Revolution!!!

Day 55 -- "I Can't Drive 55!"

Good Evening Everyone,

I feel very blessed to be grounded with God - I have been struggling last couple of days emotionally and I believe its my reboot taking a toll on me - Thank God for Casey and others you came to my aid to walk me through what I was feeling. During this time inspiration has bloomed out of what felt like turmoil for me. Just a day or two ago a co-worker who haven't been really close to has been opening up and we have discussed the possibility that he will reboot. Mind you this person already works out but has been struggling to loose his weight.

I volunteered to make a batch of my now famous Carrot-Lime brew -
6 carrots large
2 apples of choice
1 lime
1/2 bunch of fresh mint
1 thumb of ginger

Taste test after taste test - people really enjoy my Carrot Lime brew -- might need to give it a new name - maybe Carrot Limeade. Anyway, he really enjoyed it and feels he could break his belief barrier and do a reboot maybe to start with a 10-day.  And with Joe Cross coming to town next week on 27th - I am going put out a sign up sheet at work and see how many people want to go check out the viewing of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and an awesome visit from Joe Cross for Q&A.

55 days and climbing although I know day 60 is approaching - I have already committed to another 15 days and that does not include my recovery period. Let's see 3 days for every day of fast 3 into 75 is what = 25 recovery period. Day 75 will end up on November 2nd  - nine days before my 40th birthday - putting my 25th day of recovery on Thanksgiving - yeah Turkey!!!!

Unofficially: Weight 288 and belly band at 47 inches -- I will not be denied - what a great gift to myself if I can be down to 260 by my birthday and maybe down another 10lbs by the end of recovery period.
My overall goal is get down to 220lbs - I know what needs to get done and just watching eating habits, my attitude and discipline is not enough - even with support -- I need to kick my head in and go work out.

Its go time -- what am I made of - Come on God help me go forward~~~

Juice on - Reboot Revolution!!!!

Days 50 & 51

Okay my blogging crew - what's new? Had a couple more setbacks this last week. What kind of setbacks? Gained some weight back and have made of decision - no more raw, no more cheats - and will be extended my 60 day to 75 days. Starting tomorrow back to the gym for cardio and at home I will be getting into resistance bands.

Work out mania is going to start and we will see my new results -- final results will be posted on 11/8/11, which is 3 days before my 40th. Skinny man I will be!!!

My apologies in advance to our fans about this week's video. It will be posted by Tuesday - since both Casey and I were running around this weekend on a great adventure.

Other exciting news - gee do I have exciting news? Yeah I think I do or why did I bring it up? So the news is this - I'm on a quest and I will not be denied.

My juicing brothers and sisters -- take a stand and refuse to be denied what you want.

If that is to lose unwanted pounds then take charge of your life --I'm gonna move it move it, I'm gonna move it move it, I'm gonna MOVE IT!!!

If your stand is to improve your life by going back to school or getting a promotion at work then reach out and grab on to it - only you can prevent forest fires, only you -- -

Jump up and make it your life move forward -- be like the wheels on the bus go round and round -- that's forward motion which equals progress.

Juice on and join our Reboot Revolution!!!

Days 47 & 48

It's amazing how well your immune system works when juicing - now it may not catch everything - but your healing rate increases and you will recover faster than the average Joe on the street. I went home sick today after seeing a doctor for my Flu symptoms. They were highly impressed of my juicing and recommended a couple of changes to my Mean Green recipe -- double up on the kale and add some grapefruit.

So today's recipe

1 1/2 bunch of Kale
1 whole lime
1/2 lemon
1 Pink Grapefruit
1 Red Delicious Apple
2 thumbs of Ginger
1 Cucumber

need to add another apple to this mix - grapefruit overpowered on the flavor - very tart!!

Feeling good. Still need to add some kind of physical activity.

I will update on Friday and look forward to our 7th installment on our video - going to do something totally different- enjoy the view.

Juice on!!!

An Exciting Day 46

Only 14 days from day 60 -- can you believe? A better question, do YOU believe? Believe in what, yourself? In the power of God? In self discipline and desire? Do YOU believe?

I believe we can make a difference by our beliefs and putting our belief into action. My action was to start 60 day reboot and eliminate my extra pounds that I, and I alone tortured my body with. My actions are to change my life from my insides out. We can change. Maybe the President didn't make the changes we desired - but his words hold true. We have the power to make change.

We can change -- what?
How we live each day
What we say
How we treat others
What we put into our bodies
Who we associate with
What we read
How we interact with others

Why is it so important for us to recognize that we can change -- one person can stand up and make a difference. Like a pebble tossed in a pool of still water and watching the ripples it creates. Each ripple is a voice that carries our message and soon our ripples become waves of influence over large crowds and eventually into communities, counties, states and countries. We can make a difference -- our Reboot Revolution is more than just words its a lifestyle adjustment -- who will stand up and vote yes to change for yourself, your life, your health and your future.

I am not asking you to choose sides of our political arena - I am pleading with you to make a hard choice - pro life -- your life -- you have the power to save your life.

In a short few weeks I will be finishing my first book -- and when it gets published I hope to create some ripples that will turn to waves and make serious impact on your lives.

Your first drink of fresh juice makes an impact on you body and will create a ripple -- where will  you ripple go and who will you affect?

Juice on and join our Reboot Revolution!!!

Days 44 & 45

Good Evening Juice Fans,

Losing weight can inspire others. It can also lead to major temptation. Another day of free cake at work, fumes of bacon and burgers and oh yes candy. Well, well, well. How much more can I take? 2 weeks to go for the end of 60 days and not at the weight I want -- happy that I'm officially at 285 down 43lbs from day one. That's awesome -- my excitement will be over the top when I jump over the 250 mark.


Life will get better -- I've been juicing my Carrot-lime juice all weekend long and into this week. I'm going to switch back to Mean Green for the rest of the week.

Join our Reboot Revolution and find new ways to get healthy.

Life is a journey not a destination: Day 42 & 43

Life is a journey not a destination: Day 42 & 43: Okay so I promised to post last night and forgot -- long day. Most people who have been doing the reboot as long as me should be over certai...

Day 42 & 43

Okay so I promised to post last night and forgot -- long day. Most people who have been doing the reboot as long as me should be over certain cravings -- but the truth of the matter you need to stay very disciplined throughout the process. Never slipping up is hard - emotional and mentally. The physical part needs to happen to inspire your body to burn your fat faster -- no matter what others say you need to exercise. Go for a walk - go to the gym, move your body to music -- DO SOMETHING!!! If you do more than not -- you will forget that you miss solid foods - like pizza. Which I slipped up again this week and had more pizza pie --

If you are following Casey and my videos you will know I stay very honest with my reboot. I don't hide anything - that's for me, God and to share with others - you need to know every struggle we go through to understand what will or could happen to you and what mistakes to avoid. Wouldn't you want to know how to walk through a live minefield - if I went through already? To know the dangers or loopholes. Of course you would. Doing the reboot or any fast can create double or triple urges. And before you ask, yes I mean every kind of urge -- food, desires, doing more of something that you don't need to be doing - like slacking off.

I did fairly well other than the cheat -- I juiced everyday and lost the weight I gained back last week and lost it this week with a couple pounds additional to break the 290 mark -- the only way I see myself losing more weight every week and more than a few pounds is exercise - its a must -- My prediction for next Saturday's weigh in -- if I take charge of my life and exercise 4-5 days a week I will be at 280 or less.

I challenge any of my subscribers to do the same - get off your butts -- move - you heard me MOVE yourself into victory - strive to be better than you are - it will hurt and you will feel pain and uneasiness - but pain is temporary and victory is forever!!!!

You can make this happen -- and if you go and read my buddy, Casey's blog you will discover he started off going to the gym 1-2 times a week  - and is finding it addictive - in a good way. Now he works out 4-5 times week. He goes when he has cravings for bad food or just to feel better and I can tell you from the compliments he received last night at poker -- you can see major changes even from last Saturday -- he looks awesome. I want that -- and you should too.

Remember Reboot Revolution is about improving yourself from the inside out - about change - its about your future. And only you can forest fires only you. This message was provided by me and not Smokey the Bear.

Juice on!!!!

Welcome to Day 40

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!! It's the end of day 40 and I'm at 290lbs - that means tomorrow morning I will be under that number -- yeah baby yeah!!!!

Who wants to take bets for Saturday's weigh in? 285 here I come!!!!

Take care and note - life is getting better -- 20 days to go to end the 60 days and 20 days of recovery -- if I can lose 5-8lbs a week I make this happen -- plus exercise.

Tune in for more awesome updates!!!!

Day 39

Okay so it's been a long short time since my last post. My apologies to everyone - to sum up last week I cheated on fasting and gain 4lbs -- if you saw our last video can get the full story.

I"m proud to say I'm back on track and have lost 3 of the 4 lbs that gained last week. Mean Green week has started and back on course.

Stay tuned for day 40's entree - big results coming....

Welcome to Day 29

Hello sport fans - we have arrived to day 29 and aside from waking up with a headache, which I believe is derived from lack of water or better yet not enough water. I can honestly tell you that I feel better than I have in years. I wake up each day feeling energized and excited. Most people feel this way because of the people around them - wife, children, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc I know you need to love and enjoy yourself to feel good. Relying on others to make yourself feel good is just emotional attachments which can eventually destroy you - you would be a walking roller coaster ride - up one day and down another.

Anyway back to our reboot - I have a lot of salads and raw vegetables this week -- I was a little short on dollars this past week - so whatever I had in spare dollars went to purchasing inexpensive spinach salads - under $5 a day and some days no food at all just water. Just like Casey said the other day on his blog - after so many days on your reboot you will feel less hungry. I truly wasn't hungry this past week but folks don't do that -- you body really needs that nourishment. Don't be too proud like some people -- like me. Ask for help and stay true to your reboot. I have weighed in anytime this week - although last night I took a peek - I can tell you that looking at the scale everyday won't help you on an emotional, metal or sane level mindset. The reason I say this is that you will fluxiate all week -- just like a roller coaster - up, down and all around. Pick one day and time to weigh yourself and stick with or you will just set yourself up for disappointment.

Our official day 30 is tomorrow, ironically on my serving day at church. I expect to be fully energized and ready to serve and be under the 290 mark -- its been a real struggle to break that mark -- but just like in sales (which is what I do for a living) if you can find a way to cross that barrier - forget it and shoot past it. So now I'm going to aim for 280 for my short term goal. 220 is still my priority goal to hit before my 40th birthday. Will I do it sports fans? I will believe I will be there and that's all you need to know.

I officially went back on juice on Friday -- went back to the original Mean Green Juice recipe -- after Casey had another stone passing episode I felt we both needed to take a break from spinach. Well its still pretty early for me on this fine and very cool Saturday -- I never thought I would see the day living here in Georgia that mid September would yield cool days - if you have ever visited or lived here you would know its blazing hot almost until October. Very refreshing!

Work is good --and still receive plenty of lookers saying "wow what are you doing to loose your weight, are you still drinking that green slime?" I say sure and that everyone knows that slime is a major contributor to losing weight. Carl has been noticed at work just after a week feeling and looking a bit lighter - you can see in his face folks - come on after one week -- you go Carl!!!

I have a great conversations with customers, peers and family of my progress and I have many people wanted to try our reboot revolution -- my advice is to first start with Joe's 10 day reboot. It truly is the first step and test to see if you can stay true to the reboot - I have to say that the average person will not have enough will power to continue further that -- take it slow -- remember Joe did 60 days because he had is illness - and wanted to be rid of it -- healing takes time -- for most of us we are using this to lose weight - don't get me wrong I have lost more in one month then most do in two months. It does work - but just realize their is a lot of mental and emotional stuff working with this -- just be prepared.

I'm signing off now -- next post will have our results as we work ourselves to day 60.

Live the Reboot Revolution and Juice On!!!!

End of Day 22

Okay so I know I haven't posted in a few days -- today was a good day ending a good week -- took another swim in Lake Lanier -- water was nice and got a decent workout swimming. Folks we have to keep our bodies moving somehow -- no exercise can risk bad circulation. Take a walk, jump in a lake and don't drown -- move, its called swimming.

Alright for some good updates -- had about 3-4 salads to compensate for lack of juicing on a couple of days this week including today. I'm down another 7 pounds from last Saturday and 1 inch off my belly -- leaving me at 294lbs and 49 inches all together I"m down 34lbs and 5 inches off the belly - Yeahhhh!!! No where near done here folks. still have 72lbs to go. We are approaching our 30 day - mid point of our 60 day reboot. Next Sunday will be officially 30 days and I"m speaking this out loud that I will be down to 282 by our 30 day mark - making it an officially 45 lbs in the first 30 days. Please do the math for me here - that means for the next 30 days I will need to knock out 60lbs - okay that may not happen, just remember we do have our 20 day recovery time and can do another shorter reboot on top to knock the last 15-20 lbs. I will be down to 220 for my birthday on 11/11/11. I will be down to a 36-38 waist. I will be wearing new clothes such as slimmer jeans, kakis, and new suit. I will be getting more toned. And yes ladies, I will be looking that much better for one special lady and only one special lady. Who will she be? Good question.

I wish I took a before picture -- the only one I can post is one with me and Mom -- anything is that I'm sitting down. I will have an updated picture of day 30.  I will be posting again on Sunday and will try to post more than a couple times a week.

PS I almost forgot. Friday night I purchased on behalf of both Casey and myself a new domain name for our upcoming website -- www.RebootRevolution.com  We will be posting updates on each of our blogs. Stay Tuned!!!

Juice On!!!
