RIP 장군삼춘
My uncle passed away tonight. I got a call at 10pm from my aunt asking me if I could come over because uncle wasn't doing too well. She asked if I could help get him to the hospital. I rushed over, but his condition had gotten worse, so we decided to call 911. The fire department, sheriff officers, and medical team arrived in about 5 minutes and tried to resuscitate him but he was gone. He passed away from pancreatic cancer stage 4 which had spread to his liver and kidneys.
RIP Uncle.
This was the first time in my life I saw someone die in front of my eyes, and to say the least it's a traumatic experience. You really can't describe it in words, nor will anyone unfamiliar with this experience understand the emotions that someone goes through in this situation. After the shock is gone though, the dead body appears to be someone sleeping. I can sorta understand now why soldiers go into PTSD.

Post 60 Day Diet Results
Forgot to post this on June 1st. Total weight loss was 25lbs, however this does not include the added muscle mass. I think i'm at about 12% body fat right now. Current weight is 185lbs and I haven't felt this good since 2011. Back then (2011) i was slim at 175lbs, but i had no muscle mass. I just looked skinny with no definition. This time around I may be 10lbs heavier, but have broader shoulders and a decent 4 pack.
Next phase will be to go down to my ideal goal of 170-175lbs. Optimal weight for a totally cut 5'11 tall person is 175, but that's for people going into body building competitions. I think at 170 I will get the washboard abs i was aiming for. I haven't felt this good in a very long time. Once i reach my 170 goal, it will probably have been over 15 years since i've been in this shape.
Losing weight at this stage gets really hard. Some people peak out and strain to lose the last 10-15lbs. It may take a while, but I will have to press forward. Based on my spreadsheet calculator I created on Excel it's going to take another 45 days. I hope to post more photos then.

Beachbody Insanity Workouts
Man, I'm sick of going through these yo-yo diets. I keep going up and down like Chandler on Friends. But through this journey I've learned a lot about living a healthy lifestyle with hundreds of hours of reading, researching, and self experiments. It's interesting when you find out what you've been doing correctly / incorrectly in the past and ways to improve the methods. This time is for real, once I get back to the physical goal I've set for myself - it's time to not yo-yo back up.
April 1st, I've started on the Beachbody Insanity work outs with Shaun T. Along with a healthy diet of mostly protein and fruits - the next 60 days will be tough. I am drenched in sweat after the workouts and can safely say there are some minor results already. The huge article I've been writing about the secrets to loosing weight will be posted up soon. Possibly after the 60 days.

People to Avoid like the Plague
If only I could go back 10 years with all the knowledge I have now. I dream about it, and it's always a fascinating dream. My parents used to tell me that the people I surround myself with will eventually mold my life. I had some time to reflect these past few months and realized a few things.
1. Be careful of sociopaths. People that only care about themselves. Particularly the ones that use others for their own benefits. The ones that only call you when they need something or a favor. This list also includes inconsiderate bastards. The ones that block a path when you are trying to get through without a care in the world. Or, drive 55mph on the highway on the carpool lane when there are 100 cars tailgating behind you.
2. Some people need to earn your trust before they ever break it. Don't trust anyone you first meet. I used to think giving people the benefit of the doubt when you first meet them was the right thing to do. However, that's not right. There are too many bad spirited people in this world, particularly as of late. There needs to be red lights and signs that say "CAUTION". Let them show you that they are trustworthy. This will shield you from opening up yourself to someone that will eventually hurt you. Don't always be the "NICE GUY", people will notice it and try to take advantage. Be smart about it and make decisions wisely.
3. People that talk big. Most of these people (i'd say 90% of them) can't back it up. It's okay to talk big if you can show for it. I've met very few people in my life that can actually live up to what they portray themselves as being. Cocky people are NOT confident people. It's just a bad form of arrogance. Surround yourself with humble yet confident people.
4. People that make promises too often, or always breaking promises. They don't have any type of commitment or acknowledge their responsiblity. Or simply don't give a shit about you to keep their promises. Keep away from these types of people.
5. People that make excuses all the fucking time. If someone is late because they actually got a flat tire and couldn't make a meeting, that's an acceptable excuse. But if they start blaming everything, THEY fucked up on - on/to someone else/thing - that's just an immature child that spends half their day thinking of excuses to get out of doing homework. These people are not trustworthy.
Take out these types of people and surround yourself with people with positive energy. I've been watching The Dog Whisperer with Caesar Milan on YouTube. In the episodes he points out that dogs are able to read people's energy and react accordingly. I actually believe in this. If dogs can pick up on energy signs, then I believe people do it as well in a more discreet subconscious way. People that are always gloomy and think of the world as coming to an end will just have a very negative vibe. This will rub off on you and make you gloomy as well. Be around people with a ray of brightness and suddenly your day will be more joyful. I can think of one girl I met a few years back that had such aura. Just being in a room with her would brighten up your day, and one smile just lifts up your spirits. It wasn't even because I liked her as a woman, it was just her presence. It's hard to describe, and you won't know it until you've met someone like that yourself.
