My butt is getting smaller.
Since I first posted this blog entry about my weight and unhealthy living, I’m proud to say things have changed! I’ve stuck to exercising everyday and eating more healthy which has had a great impact on my life. I have more energy, I can taste food differently, and look forward to exercising and seeing my body change.
This past July, I weighed in at 240 lbs. I now weigh 225 lbs! My plan is to lose 15 lbs by December. I continue to ride my bicycle to work and any other chance I get. I’ve changed my exercise routine to keep it interesting, and included regular resting periods. Changing my lifestyle and eating habits has had such a positive impact on my life. I love it.
I realize it doesn’t matter what exercise method you use, as long as you are consistent, you will see positive results. Eating healthy foods ARE GREAT from you. This has been the hard part, but the most impact full thus far. Things have changed for the better and I look forward to posting my next blog entry to share my latest results.

Shame on me!
The last couple of months have distracted me from maintaining my blog, shame on me! I do enjoy sharing my experiences, media, and other people’s stories and hope to keep my blog going.
Currently, I’m enjoying the media I’ve produced for YBCA and I look forward to launching CreateShareWear’s new video series. Fatherhood has been amazing, I love seeing my son grow and develop. Life is good.
There are several challenges in front of me at the moment, but nothing I can’t overcome. Life always presents challenges, it’s an opportunity to grow and learn from your experiences. I plan to address my creative development and work with my no excuses method; just do it, no excuses, period. The Getting Things Done method has worked for me too, but like everything in life, if you are not disciplined and consistent, it won’t work. There is no try, just do.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about how you keep discipline in your life. From healthy living, financial spending, to being a good parent, how do you do it?

Lil’ Piñatas on PAUSE
I love making my Lil’ Piñatas, but I have to put the production on pause for the moment. I’m focusing on my new business CreateShareWear.com and hopefully will carve out sometime to get back to making my piñatas.
But if you really want to get your hands on my Lil’ Piñatas, I may be able to make some, so hit me up, idrchicano@gmail.com
