Hey Nino…. here I am! Howdy my friend…. I’m just finishing up some paperwork here, before our meeting today! Gee Nino don’t rush on “my” account take your time I’m certainly in no hurry today, as a matter of fact I have something that I want to talk to you about today…. if you don’t mind!
My friend absolutely not….. I don’t mind at all! My friend just give “me” a few minutes here to finish up this last bit of paperwork, and then I promise that you’ll have “my” undivided attention today…. ok!
Ok Nino thanks….. I’ll just wait here patiently anticipating another great topic of discussion with you here this week! My friend that sure sounds like to “me” that you already have, our next topic of discussion this week! My friend am I right in assuming that…. or am I jumping the gun a bit here? Gee Nino I don’t know…. maybe! Nino I guess only time will tell if that’s the case, as you would always tell “me” here from time to time….. right!
Gee my friend it’s like I’ve been telling you lately…. which is simply this! My friend your really starting to think and say the exact same thing, that I’m usually thinking and saying to you…… I’m impressed! Well Nino to be totally honest with you here we’ve been spending so much time together, that it’s actually easy for “me” now to start thinking like you! Gee Nino I guess it’s like the old saying goes….. which is simply this!
Nino are you listening?
My friend absolutely…. let “me” hear it!
Ok Nino….. I guess you can say that I’m really beginning to know you like a book now! My friend without doubt I would have to totally agree with you on that saying…. which only tells ”me” one thing!
Gee Nino…. what’s that?
My friend it’s quite obvious here in what this should be telling both of us today…… which is simply this! My friend a huge reason why God brought us together is so that I could mold you to start thinking along the same lines as myself, so when the time comes I can recruit you to help “me” carry out “my” mission here successfully!
My friend it’s like I said this is only the beginning of our mission together! My friend soon God will open that door of opportunity so together we can go minister to people around the world, and teach them about making ”No Excuses” in their lives….. right!
Gee Nino I don’t know what to say right now…. I’m speechless!
My friend why’s that…. did I say something wrong here?
Oh Nino….. absolutely not! Nino it’s just that by you saying that to “me” I can’t believe that you have that much faith in “me”, that I can also teach people in our society today about making “No Excuses” for themselves for whatever their dealing with in thier lives!
Well my friend that being said….. guess what?
Gee Nino what is it….. do you have some good news to share with ”me”? Gee Nino because I could definitely use some today! Nino because I’ve been a little bit discouraged with myself lately!
Gee my friend…. why’s that?
Actually Nino first tell “me” your news…. then I’ll tell you what’s got “me” a little down here today….. ok!
Ok my friend….. that sounds fair!
Well my friend I just want to respond to what you said to “me” earlier about “me” having enough faith in you, that you’ll also be able to teach people about them making ”No Excuses” in their lives! Well my friend that being said I have news for you today…… which is simply this!
My friend…… are you listening??
Yeah Nino…. go ahead!
Ok my friend! Well my good friend believe or not both God and I have complete faith and confidence in you that when the time comes, and I have to leave you here and go do Gods calling on ”my” life, you’ll be more than able to teach people on your own about making those excuses in their lives! Also my friend I might add without making any excuses for yourself, why you can’t teach them to do so….. right!
Gee Nino since you put it that way…. I definitely wouldn’t want to disappoint God! Nino I will certainly do “my” best then to help you carry out your mission, when God brings you to your destination to go and minister to people around the world! My friend I certainly don’t think that you have to worry about disappointing God, because that could never happen in a million years! My friend all that God asks from all of us is to do are very best in life, and he’ll do the rest to help us… ok!
Ok Nino… it’s a deal!
Great my friend!
Ok my friend that being said…… tell “me” now what’s got you a little down here today?
Ok Nino…. thanks!
Well Nino as you know “my” training has been going extremely well lately, I’ve really been able to start noticing big changes in how physique is looking lately! Gee my friend that’s GREAT to hear…. I’m so happy for you! My friend I’m a little confused here because how can you be down about that, you should be really excited about this today….. right!
Oh Nino absolutely…. I am excited trust “me”!
Great my friend…. so why the long face today?
Well Nino it’s like I said I’m really happy in how my physique is looking lately, except in one particuliar area!
Gee my friend…. what area might that be?
Well Nino the area of “my” physique that I’m not to happy with lately and is taking forever for “me,” to see some positive results in…. happens to be abdominal area! Gee Nino I can’t tell you how many different ab exercises that I’ve been doing latley! Nino I’ve been doing so many crunches lately, I’ve been feeling sick to ”my” stomach! Gee Nino is that’s not bad enough ”my” abs even hurt “me” lately, when I’m either taking in a deep breath or coughing!
Gee Nino is this a normal thing to be happening to ”me” when I’m trying to acheive getting that six-pack, that sure dosen’t seem to be happening?
Ok my friend stop right there…… guess what you just did again?
Gee Nino I have no clue…. what did I just do again?
My friend by now it should really be of no surprise to you in what you just accomplished here, in doing once again for us today….. which is simply this!
My friend are you listening?
My friend because believe or not this has your DNA…. all over it today!
Gee Nino absolutely I’m listening….. I actually feel like I’m on that crime tv show CSI today!
Well my friend I promise what I’m about to reveal to you today, is not going to get you into any trouble….ok!
Ok Nino…. let “me” have it!
Ok my friend…. here it is!
My friend you’ll be happy to know today that once again… you have just come up with our next topic of discussion here this week!
Gee Nino that’s awesome…… what is our next topic of discussion this week about??
Gee my friend are you kidding “me” you mean to tell “me” that you honestly don’t know, in what our next topic of discussion is going to be about this week?? Gee Nino I’m sorry but I’m totally clueless right now on what our next topic of discussion, is going to be about this week…… can you help out?
Ok my friend I guess I can help you out today…. in naming our next topic of discussion! My friend you’ve only been talking to “me” about it today for the last five minutes here….. that’s all! Oh Nino hold on a minute don’t tell “me”….. I think I know what it is now!
Great my friend….. let’s here it!
Ok Nino…. here it is!
Well Nino I have a strong feeling today that your going to be sharing with “me”, your secret behind in acheiving that six-pack….. right!
Gee my friend I can’t believe it…. guess what??
Gee Nino…. what is it?
My friend it’s quite simple it’s like I’ve been telling you for weeks now….. which is simply this! My friend you sure haven’t lost a step when it comes down for you to think like “me”, because your absolutely right with that assumption! My friend I’m without doubt going to be sharing with you today “my” secret behind in achieving that six-pack! My friend because I know all to well how imporant it is today, in having rock hard abs to successfully complete that “dream body” that you’ve been working so hard to get lately!
Gee Nino wait a minute here!
My friend what is it….. don’t you want ”me” to reveal to you today my secret behind in you acheiving that six-pack, that you’ve been trying so hard to get lately??
Well Nino yeah…… of course I would love to know your secret today, in how I can acheive getting that six-pack!
Ok my friend great….. so what’s the problem then??
Well Nino it’s just that I kinda feel bad that you’ve been giving “me” all of your secrets for free lately, in how I can acheive that “dream body”…… I feel that I should be giving you something in return here! Ok my friend stop right there….ok! Gee Nino something tells “me” that I shouldn’t have said that to you….. right!
My friend your absolutely right….. you shouldn’t have said that to “me”! My friend how many times do we have to go through this, until you understand…… which is simply this!
My friend….. to you have your ears on again?
Yeah Nino… go ahead once again!
Ok my friend….. I certainly hope that we won’t have to go through this again after today, because we have alot more topics to discuss together here in the next couple of months! My friend how many times do I have to tell you this! My friend God has “me” on this mission solely to help you in certain area’s that your struggling with today in your life, no matter what it is! My friend and if that means that I have to give you all of “my” secrets to do that, I WILL without “me” making any excuses why I can’t along the way here…. ok!
Ok Nino…. I promise you and God that I won’t be feeling bad anymore in you giving “me” your secrets away for free, in hopes of “me” acheiving “my” “dream body” here!
Great my friend…. both God and I thank you!
Ok my friend that being said….. are you ready for “me” today to reveal to you my secret behind in acheiving that six-pack??
Yeah Nino I sure am…. let’s go get that washboard stomach!
Ok my friend…… here we go again!
Ok my friend before I go ahead today in revealing to you ”my” secret behind in acheiving that six-pack, I have something else that I want reveal to you first! Gee Nino does it happen to be another secret…. by any chance? My friend I’m sorry to disappoint you it’s not another secret but I will tell you this, you’ve known in what I’m about to reveal to you all along here since we’ve been getting together!
Ok Nino enough of the suspense already….. what is it?
Ok my friend…. here it is!
Well my friend believe it or not here you’ve known “my” secret behind in acheiving that six-pack, for quite awhile now! My friend because we’ve already discussed these three keys in you acheiving that six-pack, in several of our past discussions that we’ve had together here!
Gee Nino are you kidding ”me”…… how come I don’t remember them? Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you for awhile now….. which is simply this! Nino I pretty much remember all of the discussions that we’ve had here together so far….. are you sure that you’ve already given “me” your secret behind in acheiving that six-pack??
My friend I am positive of that! My friend I have a strong feeling that once I start naming these three keys to you again today, it’s all going to start coming back to you…. ok!
Ok Nino…. I really think I should get “my” pen and pad out again today! Nino so I can write down these three keys to getting “my” six-pack again….. so I don’t forget them this time!
My friend….. that sounds like a great idea to “me”!
Ok my friend that being said…… are you ready to hear the three keys in acheiving that six-pack once again?
Yeah Nino absolutely….. let “me” hear them again!
Ok my friend get ready to write because I’m going to jump right into telling you the first key behind you acheiving that six-pack today! My friend because the last thing that I want to happen here is you continually telling “me”, that your feeling sick to your stomach when doing all those crunches…. ok!
Ok Nino thanks….. because I definitely don’t want to continue feeling sick to “my” stomach either, when I’m doing “my” thousand crunches a day! Gee my friend I hate to tell you this….. but guess what? Gee Nino what it is….. do you want ”me” to be doing even more crunches a day than a thousand?
My friend absolutely not…. just the opposite!
Gee Nino are you telling “me” that I’ve been doing way too many crunches lately??
Yeah my friend I’m sorry….. you have been doing way too many crunches here lately! My friend please don’t get discouraged by “me” telling you that…. ok!
Ok Nino I won’t….. so how many crunches should I be doing a day then??
Well my friend I recommend you doing…. no more than four sets of thirty reps in all!
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”….. that’s all!
My friend I promise you…… I’m not kidding one bit here! My friend believe or not here you doing all of those crunches a day, is not the secret behind you acheiving that six-pack today! Gee Nino I had a strong feeling that you were going to say that to “me”…. so what is the secret then behind “me” acheiving that six-pack then?
Well my friend hang on because I’m about to share with you once again…. the three keys that you need to be implementing into your life, daily in order for you to achieve that six-pack! My friend I strongly recommend that you start writing, because I’m going to make this short and sweet….. ok!
Ok Nino I’m ready….. go ahead with the first key in “me” acheiving that six-pack today!
Ok my friend here’s the first key….. and I have a strong feeling that your memory is going to start coming back today, in how to acheive that six-pack! Well Nino as you always tell “me” here from time to time, I guess only time will tell if that holds true…. right!
Well my friend…. guess what?
Gee Nino…. what is it now?
My friend simply this…. the time has come listen up!
Ok Nino go ahead….. I’m listening!
Gee my friend you must really want to know that secret today behind you acheiving that six-pack…. huh!
Yeah Nino… I sure do!
Well my friend like I said…. you’ve known the secret all along here!
So my friend that being said again….. here is key #1 in acheiving that six-pack! My friend the first key is focusing on your diet….. have you been doing that?? Gee Nino no I haven’t…. it’s been kinda tough for “me” lately to eat healthy, because I’ve been so busy!
Gee Nino and I know that’s a poor excuse….. right? My friend your absolutely…. right! Well my friend I have a strong feeling that if you haven’t been following key #1 in how to achieve that six-pack, then you definitely haven’t been following these other two keys either lately!
My friend key #2 is doing your cardio on a daily basis…… at least 20 minutes 3-4 days a week!
My friend…. have you been doing that??
Gee Nino absolutely not…. and I certainly don’t have a good enough excuse for you for “me” not doing “my” cardio either! Listen my friend I’m not trying to discourage you here today in you trying to acheive that six-pack by telling you this….ok! Gee Nino are you kidding “me”…. I needed this little wake-up call today! Nino because there’s absolutely no excuse for “me” whatsoever that’s good enough to tell you, why I can’t focus more on ”my” diet and doing “my” cardio on a daily basis as well!
Great my friend I’m glad that you see it that way….. because you know that I’m only trying to help you here not hurt you! Gee Nino believe “me” I definitely know that by now here…ok!
Great my friend that being said….. guess what?
Gee Nino….. now what did I do??
Well my friend believe or not….. you just named key #3 behind you acheiving that six-pack for “me” today!
Gee Nino really….. what is it?
Gee my friend it really should be of no surprise to you in what key #3 is! My friend because I’ve been teaching it to you, since day one of our mission here together! Oh ok Nino…… I think I know what key #3 is now!
Great my friend…… let’s hear it!
Ok Nino I believe it’s “No Excuses”…… right!
My friend your absolutely…… right!
My friend that being said I don’t think that I have to discuss this last key, any further with you today…… do I?
Gee Nino absolutely not……. I think that I get the message that your sending “me” today, in regards to “me” acheiving that six-pack!
Great my friend…… and what might that message be??
Gee Nino it’s pretty simple in what that message is today… which is simply this!
Nino are you listening?
My friend absolutely…. go ahead!
Ok Nino…. the ONLY way that I’m going to acheive that six-pack for myself today is to start focusing more on “my” diet and doing “my” cardio again on a daily basis!
My friend are you forgetting one more ingredient to the equation…. to acheiving that six-pack today? Gee Nino absolutely not….. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention that’s all! My friend that was pretty clever…. I like it!
Gee thanks Nino…. I knew you would! Ok Nino….. and I’m going to be doing the first two keys to acheiving that six-pack on a daily basis without “me” making any excuses whatsoever why I can’t! My friend now your talking “my” language again! My friend let’s go get that washboard stomach….. “No Excuses”!!
March 11th, 2008
Hey my friend…. welcome back! Hey Nino as always it’s great to be back…. ready to discuss another exciting topic with you this week! Well my friend it’s funny that you should be bringing up our next topic of discussion this week….. because guess what? Gee Nino what….. is everything ok with you? My friend things couldn’t be going any better for “me” lately! My friend as a matter of fact things are about to get even better, for both of us today!
Gee Nino it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen you this upbeat and excited since we’ve been getting, together here week after week! Yeah my friend your absolutely right it has been quite awhile since I’ve been this excited, and it’s for a very good reason why that’s the case today!
Gee Nino now you have “me” all excited and curious here all of a sudden, on “me” knowing just why your so excited today! Gee my friend I’m sorry I definitely don’t mean to keep you in the dark here today, in you trying to figure out just why I’m so excited at this very moment!
My friend would you really like to know…. why I’m so excited for both of us today?
Gee Nino what do you think absolutely…. I definitely want to know?
Well ok my friend I guess I’ll let the cat out of the bag then and finally tell you, why I’m so excited for both of us today! Gee Nino thanks because if I also have to start getting excited today about something I need to know what it is, so I can start jumping up and down with you! Gee my friend that really sounds like fun I haven’t jumped up down since I was about 6 years old, on “my” bed to see if I could touch the ceiling with “my” head!
Ok my friend that being said I really think that we should stay seated today…. ok!
Gee Nino why’s that?
Nino because I was actually looking forward to doing some jumping jacks with you today to get “my” heart rate up a little, as we get ready to discuss our next topic here together this week! Well my friend the only problem I see with that is…. simply this! My friend I think it’s going to be hard for us to talk and focus on our next topic of discussion today, if we’re both jumping up and down here this week!
Yeah Nino I definitely hear what your saying here because we both should stay focused today, as we’re discussing our next topic here together! Nino so we can continue on helping people in certain area’s of their lives that their struggling with, and are in need of some guidance on! Gee my friend I couldn’t have said it any better myself…… nicely said!
Ok Nino so that being said….. what are we going to discuss this week?
Well my friend I’m glad you asked “me” that…. because that’s a huge reason why I’m so excited for both of us today! Gee Nino does mean that you already have our next topic of discussion this week? Yeah my friend….. I sure do! Gee Nino that’s actually a good thing because I’ll be totally honest you, I had absolutely nothing for you this week to talk to you about! My friend that’s ok because you’ve been coming up with pretty much all of our topic of discussions here in the last couple of weeks, so I think it’s only fair that I come up with one now!
So my friend that being said…… would you like to know what our next topic of discussion is about this week?
Gee Nino absolutely…… I sure do!
Ok my friend I’m not going to keep you in suspense any longer today in you trying to figure out, just why we’re supposed to be so excited this week about our next topic of discussion….. ok!
Hey Nino would you mind if I try to guess on what our next topic of discussion is about this week, before you go ahead and tell “me”? Gee my friend that sounds like a great idea to “me”! My friend actually it’s been quite awhile since I’ve had you to try to guess, on what our next topic of discussion is about! My friend that being said….. would you like “me” to give you a little hint first to make it a little easier, for you to try to come up with the right answer regarding our next topic of discussion this week?
Gee Nino could you because I definitely think that if you give “me” a little hint regarding our next discussion today, I have a strong feeling that I can guess the right topic! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to “me” that your extremely confident, in you guessing the right answer to our next topic of discussion today…… I like it!!
Ok my friend here’s your little hint…… are you ready??
Yeah Nino absolutely…… I’m ready, willing, and able to guess our next topic of discussion this week!
Ok my friend our topic of discussion today has to do with one of the three “special” people that we discuused awhile back, that God brought into “my” life to make Nino’s Mission possible today! Gee Nino that’s a huge hint you just gave ”me” because your either talking about Vanessa Cambria or her husband Mark or Tom Venuto….. right!
My friend your absolutely right…… good job!
So my friend that being said……. which one of these three “special” friends of mine do you think we’re going to be talking about today??
Hmm Nino let “me” think a minute here…. ok!
My friend absolutely take a few minutes and think about it….. I’m certainly in no hurry today! Gee Nino thanks….. I promise you that I won’t take long in coming up with the right person that we’re going to be talking about today… ok! Gee my friend I have to say it again to you…. which is simply this! My friend your definitely showing “me” alot of confidence that you know which one of these three “special” friends of mine….. we’re going to be talking about today! Well Nino I guess you can say that “my” confidence in myself has been really building up in “my” life, ever since we’ve been hanging out together here week after week!
My friend that’s GREAT to hear….. you just made our mission together all the worth while to keep on going here, until it’s 100% successfully completed! Furthermore my friend I have a strong feeling that your confidence level in yourself is going to be going up the roof here in the next few months, as we continue to hang out together and discuss alot more topics! Gee Nino I couldn’t agree with you more….. I’m excited about it!
Ok Nino that being said…. I think I know which one of your three “special” friends, we’re going to be talking about today!
Great my friend…. let’s hear it!
Ok Nino….. I have strong feeling that the “special” friend of yours that we’re going to be talking about today, is none other than “Vanessa Cambria”! Oh my friend…. I can’t believe it! Gee Nino what it is…. did I guess the wrong person? My friend it’s just the opposite you amazingly guessed the right “special” friend of mine! My friend how did you know that I was referring to “Vanessa Cambria”….. as being our topic of discussion today?
Well Nino to be totally honest with you here it wasn’t hard for “me” at all to know that you we’re referring to ”Vanessa Cambria”, as being our topic of discussion today… simply for this reason!
Nino would you like to hear the reason?
Gee my friend absolutely…. I would love to hear your reason in how you came up with “Vanessa Cambria” as being our topic of discussion today!
Ok Nino…. here it is!
Well Nino I just thought back to when we had the discussion on how “Nino’s Mission” came to life, and remembering that Vanessa was the one that gave your mission that heartbeat to get it all started! Gee my friend your really impressing “me” today because that discussion took place awhile ago, I can’t believe that you remembered all that…. great job!
Gee Nino are you kidding “me”! Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you now for quite some time….. which is simply this! Nino I’ve been taking every discussion that we’ve had so far here together very seriously and to heart, and I’ve applied it to my own life situations, which has helped “me” a great deal so far in how to go on handling them simply by “me” making “No Excuses” for myself!
Gee my friend I’m so happy to hear you say that because I’ll be to totally honest with you, I had no idea that our discussions that we’ve had so far have impacted your life in such a positive way! Well Nino now you know…. so let’s keep on discussing those topics ok!
Gee my friend that sounds good to “me”!
So my friend that being said….. in our next topic of discussion this week, I’m going to share with you ”my” experience I had training with Vanessa Cambria! Also my friend how she helped “me” understand the true definition of “me” making “No Excuses,” in regards to “my” physical disability when performing certain exercises that were extremely challenging for “me” to do!
My friend are you ready for “me” to share with you today…. the amazing experience I had training with “Vanessa Cambria”?
Gee Nino absolutely….. let’s get the show on the road!
Ok my friend…. here we go again!
Well my friend as you can probably imagine I’ve had the experience to train with many different personal trainers in the past, but none of them came close to the experience I had training with “Vanessa Cambria” in regards to overall knowledge and attitude! Gee Nino that’s really a bold statement you just made here…. can you back it up by giving “me” some examples to prove your statement as being true?
My friend I had a feeling that you were going to say that…… it would be “my” pleasure to give you a few examples, as why I say this to you today! Listen my friend I’m not at all saying that the trainers that I trained with in the past, didn’t have the knowledge or the attitude when it came to doing their job effectively! My friend what I meant by making such a bold statement like that to you here….. is simply this!
My friend are you listening?
Yeah Nino I’m listening….. go ahead!
Ok my friend what I meant by the other trainers not having the knowledge or attitude that Vanessa showed “me”, was in regards to training “me” effectively with “my” disability! My friend I’m going to give you an example here of what I mean by that….. ok! Ok Nino because I think I’m starting to understand now, about what you meant by making that bold statement to “me” earlier!
Great my friend! My friend because by “me” making that bold statement to you earlier on does not at all mean that the other trainers that I trained with in the past, weren’t good trainers they were all good in their own ways until it came down to them figuring out how to train “my” legs effectively! My friend and that’s one area where Vanessa showed “me” that she alot more knowledge and a very positive attitude, when it came to figuring out how to train “my “legs in the most effective way possible where I wouldn’t be intimidated by the exercise or the difficulty of it as well!
Ok my friend that being said…. now I’ll give you an example of how Vanessa differed from all the other trainers I had in the past concerning training “my” legs …. ok!
Ok Nino great….. let’s hear them!
Ok my friend as far as the other trainers I had in the past when it came down to them training “my” legs, they we’re very hesitate in pushing “me” to where my legs actually felt like they were being worked! Gee Nino could you give “me” an example of what you mean by that? My friend absolutely….. because I really want you to understand what I’m trying to say to you today, between how these other trainers went on training “me” and the way that Vanessa did!
Well my friend what mean by these other trainers I had in the past being very hesitate when it down to them training “my” legs…..is simply this! My friend they simply did not allow “me” to be challenged by pushing any serious weight wether it be doing squats, leg presses or leg extentions!
Ok Nino I think I know what you mean now?
Great my friend…. let’s here it!
Well Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that these other trainers that you trained with in the past here, were kinda of playing the sympathy card with you when they went about training legs with you! My friend your absolutely right….. I couldn’t have said it any better myself! My friend the last thing I want to happen is to have a trainer show “me” sympathy when training ”me” especially “my” legs! My friend as your now aware of I want to be challenged with different things in “my” life in regards to “my” disability….. not held back!
Gee Nino I sure don’t blame you one bit…. because I would definitely feel the same way if I were in your position! Nino something tells “me” that Vanessa was the total opposite of playing the sympathy card, when it came down to training your legs….. am I right! Gee my friend your definitely on a roll today…. because your absolutely right again! My friend Vanessa had absolutely no intentions whatsoever to play the sympathy card with “me”, when training “my” legs or any other bodypart for that matter! My friend however she did play a card that I’m very familiar with by now!
Gee Nino what card is that??
Well my friend it’s quite simple here what card…. The “No Excuses” card! My friend let “me” give you an example of what I mean here….. ok!
Ok Nino go ahead I’m listening….. I can’t wait to hear this one!
Well my friend you don’t have to wait a second longer today…. because here’s how Vanessa went about training “my” legs, compared to these other trainers I had in the past! Well my friend for starters on leg day Vanessa would tell “me” firsthand on the exercises that we were going to be doing, and how she wanted them done! My friend so I could stay focused and most important make “No Excuses” for myself whatsoever, in why I couldn’t do them in the way that she wanted!
Ok my friend that being said…. are you ready for “me” to share with you a typical leg day workout with Vanessa??
Gee Nino absolutely…. I’ve been dying to hear this all day!
Ok my friend here comes “my” “No Excuses” leg day workout with Vanessa that’s guaranteed, to make your legs hurt in a good way!
Ok my friend I’m going to tell you two methods of training that Vanessa used with “me”, when training “my” legs that your very familiar with …. ok!
Ok Nino…. I’m all ears!
Ok my friend because this is going tell you without any doubt whatsoever today, why I LOVED training with Vanessa compared to all the other trainers I had in the past! Well my friend a typical leg day workout with Vanessa included doing squats, leg presses and leg extentions…. with “me” performing none other than ALL “Super Sets” and “Drop Sets” with each and every set that I did!
My friend and let “me” tell you something I just LOVED feeling the incredible burn I had throughout “my” entire leg, it was even hard for “me” to stand upright at times! My friend and I knew right then that Vanessa Cambria was not at all playing the sympathy card with “me”….. like all the other trainers had!
Gee Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that when Vanessa trained you…. she was not at all looking at your physical disability! My friend that’s exactly the point that I’m trying to get you to understand today! My friend Vanessa was NOT at all looking at “my” disability when training “me” and that right there, showed “me” that Vanessa was without a doubt the right trainer for “me”!
My friend and for that I thank God so much for bringing Vanessa into “my” life! My friend because she really motivated “me” beyond like any of the other trainers I had in the past, and most important she made realize that there were absolutely “No Excuses” for “me” why I couldn’t train legs like anyone else who didn’t have to deal a physical disability!
Gee Nino it sure sounds like to “me” that you and Vanessa were really able to bond well together! My friend your absolutely…. right! My friend just let “me” say one more thing to you today about ”my” experience I had training with Vanessa……. which is simpy this!
My friend I consider Vanessa out of all the other trainers I had in the past to be in a league all by herself, when it comes down to really wanting to help a person change their body and atittude about themsevles! My friend Vanessa has accomplished that with “me” simply by “me” making “No Excuses” about “my” disability….. thanks Vanessa for the attitude adjustment in “my” life!
Gee Nino I think that I’m going to hire Vanessa myself here! My friend now your talking “my” language…. because Vanessa’s only a click away, as her own website is linked to mine!
Great Nino….. I’m going to go checkout Vanessa’s website right now! My friend I promise you that you’ll be completely satisfied with Vanessa as your trainer…. “No Excuses”!!
February 22nd, 2008
Howdy my good friend…. how are you doing on this bitter cold winter afternoon? Gee Nino I’m doing ok and your not kidding…. yes it is sure cold out there today! Gee Nino that being said…… would you like to hear something funny that happened to “me”, on the way here to meet you this afternoon?
Gee my friend sure why not because I definitely haven’t had a good laugh in quite awhile, since we’ve been together here week after week! My friend it’s like I told you awhile back which is simply this! My friend God wants us to take the time that we spend together here week after week very seriously in discussing the many issues, that many people today in our society are facing and are in desperate need of some guidance on!
My friend on the other hand remember God also expects us to have some laughs here from time to time, to break up the mood from “serious” to “funny”! My friend because it will definitely help us to stay focused on our mission together, and also it will prevent us from getting bored with one another here week after week!
Gee Nino don’t worry I’ll never get bored of you! Nino it’s like I’ve said to you time and time again here! Nino I really have enjoyed all these great topics that we’ve discussed to this point! Nino simply because I’ve learned so much and I’ve been using alot of the great info that you’ve given “me”, from alot of these topics so far to really help “me” in alot of area’s in my life especially in ”my” training lately!
My friend that’s great to hear I’m happy that I’ve been able to help you and you can bet I will continue to do so! My friend and the same goes for “me” as well I’ll never get bored of you either, so let’s keep on enjoying our time together here week after week….shall we!
Nino you got yourself a deal!
So my friend that being said…… please tell “me” now what happened to you on the way here today that’s guaranteed to make “me” laugh!
Ok Nino this is going to make of what I’m about to tell you here even that much funnier, after what was just said! Well Nino I got up early this morning and went to the gym to actually believe or not, try out another new twist to “my” workout program that I really think that your going to love once again!
Gee My friend that’s great…… but what’s so funny about that? Oh no Nino that’s definitely not what’s going to make you laugh today! Hey Nino if it’s ok with you after I finally spill the beans to you on the funny thing that happened to “me”….. would it be ok if I discuss my latest new twist in with you, and possibly get your thoughts on it as well?
My friend absolutely I definitely want to hear about your latest new twist in regards to your training program, after which I would be more than happy to give you my thoughts on it as well! My friend but before we go ahead and do that…… would you please now go ahead and tell “me”, what happened to you today that’s going to make me laugh!
Ok Nino get ready to burst out laughing…. because here it comes! Nino do remember our discussion last week we had on the importance of eating right after working out? My friend absolutely I sure do! My friend as a matter of fact I’m glad that you brought that up because I was just going to ask you…. how’s that been going? Gee Nino let me just say it has been going great….ever since you really opened up my eyes and made me realize, just how vital it is for “me” to be eating the right nutrients right after my workouts!
Gee Nino as a matter of fact I just got done having “my” protein shake and three rice cakes with some natural peanut butter and jelly on them! My friend I’m so glad to hear you say that because I guarantee you one thing, your muscles are thanking you ” big time” for feeding them the right nutrients at the right time so they can keep on growing and repair themselves!
So my friend is that what you wanted to tell “me” that’s so funny?
Gee Nino absolutely not….. you know as well as I do now that is nothing but “serious” stuff! Gee Nino but what I’m about to tell you next is going to make you laugh “big time” I guarantee you!
Ok my friend enough of the suspense out with it…… so you can then tell me about your latest new twist that you’ve put in to your training program!
Ok Nino!
Well Nino after I got done feeding my muscles I got into my car to come here today, and I totally forgot how to get here! Nino I actually had to look at the map to get the directions! Ha Ha Ha….. Gee my friend that is funny considering after what you’ve been saying to me pretty much every week here! My friend which is simply that you cannot wait to get here to discuss our next topic together!
Hey my friend don’t be embarrassed one bit because that happens to me quite a bit! My friend for instance just a couple weeks ago around Christmas I completely lost all sense of direction, in how to get to my grandmother’s house who I don’t get a chance to go and see very often!
Gee Nino I think God might be trying to tell you something here!
My friend and what might that be??
Well Nino I think God is telling you that you should go visit your grandmother more often, not just over the holidays! Gee my friend I think your absolutely right with that assumption consider it done…. no more excuses!!
Ok my friend that being said……. I think it’s time to put on our game faces here and get back to business!
Gee Nino I totally agree with you so I’m going to get right to telling you about my latest new twist, that I’ve put into my training program…… ok!
My friend that sounds like a great idea…. let’s hear it!
Ok Nino and I have a strong feeling that your going to be very familiar, with my latest training twist that I’m about to reveal to you! Well my friend I guess only time will tell if that holds true! Gee Nino I had a feeling that you were going to say that so let’s not waste anymore time today, and let the cat out of the bag….. shall we!
Gee my friend I couldn’t agree with you more because all of this suspense surrounding your latest training twist, is really making me excited today! Ok Nino hold on to your excitement because here it comes! Well Nino have you ever heard of or done ”Drop Sets” before in your workouts? Gee my friend I can’t believe what you’ve just done once again here! Gee Nino from the tone of your voice something tells “me”, that this might be another one of those “special” days for us!
My friend you couldn’t be more right once again because not only am I familiar with doing “Drop Sets” in my workouts, but you were definitely right on when you said earlier that I would love doing them! My friend this is definitely without a doubt going to be our second topic of discussion since we’ve been together, that we’re in total agreement on!
Ok my friend that being said I guess it’s no surprise today in what our next topic of discussion, this week is going to be about then! Gee Nino let me take a wild guess and say that your going to give me your thoughts on doing “Drop Sets”….. right! Gee my friend it’s like I’ve been telling you lately which is simply this! My friend you certainly haven’t lost a step when it comes to you figuring out, our next topic of discussion because your absolutely…. right once again!
Gee Nino since I’m a roll today figuring out things for you let me take another wild guess here and say, that I probably won’t be needing my pen and pad this week either since we both agree on doing “Drop Sets”……. right?
My friend your definitely without a doubt batting a thousand today because your right once again with that assumption, so I give you the permission to just sit back and relax today while I give you my thoughts on doing “Drop Sets”…… ok! Gee Nino thanks because I definitely could use a break from writing this week, because my writing hand is still recovering from “me” writing a ton of information on our discussion last week! Well my friend just like the commerical says you deserve a break today!
Gee Nino does that mean that your going to treat me for some Mc Donalds after our discussion today, on doing “Drop Sets”? My friend that was a nice try instead how about if I treat to another workout with “me”, and we’ll train our biceps together doing all ”Drop Sets”! Gee Nino you certainly know how to spoil the fun…… ok you got a deal!
Great my friend so I suggest we get moving here today and give you my take on doing “Drop Sets”, so we can go bomb our biceps later!
Ok Nino let’s get moving!
Ok my friend…. here we go again!
Ok my good friend before I go ahead today and give you my thoughts on doing “Drop Sets”, let me just say to you I really like what your doing lately in regards to your training program! Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking you what am I doing that’s so special with my training lately, that seems to have you so excited about in the last couple of weeks here? Well my friend it really should be of no surprise to you in why I’m so excited in what your doing with your training program as of late…. which is simply for this reason!
My friend are you listening because this is huge for you to know also like I’ve been telling too lately, it really shows “me” that you’ve matured quite a bit with your knowledge in regards to your training as well!
Yeah Nino I sure am…… I’m actually excited about this! Well my friend it’s quite simple here in why I’m saying all this to you today! My friend simply because your taking it upon yourself to add some variety into your training program lately, by you going ahead and implementing all these new twists without “me” telling you! My friend if that definitely right there doesn’t show you that you’ve matured quite a bit in your training lately, I certainly don’t know what will convince you of that fact! My friend great job keep those new twists coming!
Gee Nino thanks that definitely means alot to “me” coming from you! Nino and you can bet that I’ll have another new training twist, to share with you soon! Gee my friend I can hardly wait but before that happens let me now give you my thoughts on your current twist…… doing “Drop Sets”!
Ok my friend I’m going to jump right into it and give you two reasons why I love doing “Drop Sets” as well, because I want to get to training those biceps with you later until they literally drop to the floor! Gee Nino I can hardly wait for that to happen! Ok my friend here comes reason #1! Well my friend I believe the name says it all in what we’re supposed to be doing, with each set that we do with this program!
My friend can you tell me what that might be?
Ok Nino I believe I know the answer only because I’ve been doing it myself… for about a week now! Ok my friend let’s….. hear it! Well Nino I believe that we’re supposed to drop the weight at least in 5lbs increments with each set that we do, without taking any rest in between them and still try to get the same number of reps as when we first started! My friend your absolutely right but have you been finding out, that it’s easier said than done!
Yeah Nino I sure have and I wanted to ask you why is that…. shouldn’t it become eaiser to get the same number of reps as we drop the weight! My friend your right because if we do the math it should become eaiser to get the same number of reps, as we drop the weight but in reality it’s not supposed to get easier! My friend that is one very good reason why I love doing “Drop Sets”…. because it really puts “my” muscles through a true test of endurance! Furthermore my friend it also puts “my” will to a test to see if I have that mental toughness that it takes for ”me”, to still be able to get the same number of reps with each and every set that I do as when I first started!
Ok my friend are you ready to hear my last reason today in why I love doing”Drop Sets” so much?
Yeah Nino I sure am…… because I want to get to our bicep workout! My friend and so do I so I’m going to make my second reason short and sweet! My friend reason #2 is simply this….. I just LOVE the challenge! My friend because it really puts my motto of “No Excuses” to the test! My friend no matter how tough it’s getting for “me” to get the same number of reps as when I first started even though the weight is lighter, I will not quit until I get that magic number of at least 15 reps in every set! Gee Nino now that’s what I call in having “Determination” to get the job done, no matter how tough it’s getting on you and your muscles to get through each and every set!
Well my friend I have news for you today!
Gee Nino and what might that be??
Well my friend believe or not you’ve been showing “me” alot of “Determination” yourself as of late…. do you know why I say this? Gee Nino I’m not trying to be negative here but I’m definitely not one to be known to have alot of “Determination” in my life! Well my friend like I said I have news for you because that’s definitely not the case for you any longer….. simply for this reason!
My friend are you listening?
Yeah Nino absolutely…… I can’t wait to hear this!
Well my friend it’s quite simple why I say that you’ve been showing “me” alot of “Determination yourself lately! My friend because by you coming up on your own with all these new training twists into your training program lately, is definitely more than enough proof for “me” and should be also for yourself without any doubt whatsoever that your very determined to keep your training going for a very long time! Gee Nino since you put it that way I guess I do have a little “Determination” going in my life!
My friend believe or not but you’ve had the “Determination” all along…… I think you just had to have another person tell you that to make you realize it for yourself! Gee Nino thanks for finally making “me” realize that I certainly do have alot of “Determination” in my life as well! My friend no thanks necessary because this is part of “my” mission that God has me on, to make you realize certain good traits that you have in your life that your unaware of today!
Ok my friend that being said…… are you ready to go to the gym with me and do some “Drop Sets” with our biceps now? Gee Nino absolutely and you can bet that you’ll be seeing alot more of that “Determination” on my part come into play, because I’m determined to keep up with you no matter how hard it gets on “my” biceps… ”No Excuses”! Gee my friend that sure sounds like a challenge to “me” your on….. let’s go!
January 21st, 2008
Hey Nino I hope you don’t mind…. that I’m a little early today! Gee my friend absolutely not as a matter of fact I was just about to call you, to see if you could come a little earlier today! Gee Nino I must have read your mind because here I am… in the flesh! Gee my friend you sure sound like to me, that your in a pretty good mood today!
Gee Nino you couldn’t be more right with that assumption…. because I have some great news to share with you! Nino I’m just so excited to tell you that I couldn’t wait to get here today, this is why I’m early! My friend does your news have to do with another one of those famous new diet’s that your on… that you want to tell me about?
Gee Nino that was good guess but I’m happy to say to you that it has absolutely nothing to do, with any of those famous diets that are out there today! Gee Nino I think after all the diets that I’ve tried to this point and got your personal opinion on, you finally made me realize that alot of the diets that are out there today are not what they say to be and they just don’t work! Gee my friend once again I’m so happy to hear you say that! My friend I really think that you have finally come to the realization that alot of these diets, that are out there today are mostly all “hype” to get you hooked on them!
Gee my friend now you got me curious! My friend if your news isn’t about a new diet that your on….. then what might your news be?? Ok Nino I just know that your going to be excited of what I’m about to tell you! Ok my friend would you please let the cat out of the bag on what the news is…. before I burst here! Gee my friend now you have me both curious and excited!
Ok Nino hold on to your hat…. because here it comes! Well Nino since we’ve been together we’ve discussed alot of topics that many people in our socitey today, are in desperate need of some help and guidance on in their lives! Nino would you tend to agree with me…. with that assumption? Gee my friend absolutely! My friend it’s like I’ve been telling you this is just the beginning because we’re going to continue, to help millions of people in our society today on discussing many more important topics that they are struggling with in their lives today!
My friend that being said….. are you still on board in helping me do that?
Oh Nino absolutely I wouldnt dream of leaving you now…. I’m having a blast with you here each and every week!
Great my friend because it’s like I’ve been telling you, you’ve become a huge asset to ”me” and God! My friend I’ll say it again to you which is simply this! My friend you’ve contributed so much to our mission so far that I know for a fact, that I wouldn’t be able to successfully complete this mission that God has “me” on without you! My friend furthermore this mission is the #1 goal that God want’s me to successfully complete, along with all the others that we’ve hit on so far!
Gee Nino it’s funny that you should be mentioning your goals because believe or not, that is the exciting news I want to tell you about today! My friend you now have my undivided attention because I have a strong feeling, that I’m really going to like the news that your about to tell me today! Actually my friend would you mind if I try to guess on what your news is…. before you spill the beans?
Gee Nino I wouldn’t have it any other way! Nino as a matter of fact I want to see if you’ve been paying attention so far today, because I already hinted on what my news is to you a few minutes ago! Gee my friend there you go again taking one of my lines that I usually give to you….. I’m really liking it! Ok my friend since you’ve already hinted to me on what your news is today, I’m going to have to assume then that it has something to do with acheiving goals!
My friend would it be safe for me to say that I’m right… with that assumption?
Gee Nino I sure can’t catch you off guard for one second because…. your absolutely right on target! Well Nino after being together with you for almost a year now, you’ve actually motivated me to start making some goals of my own now! Gee my friend that’s the best news I’ve heard from you…. since we’ve been together! My friend if you don’t mind me asking you…. what motivated you to want to set some goals for yourself?
Well Nino you can just say after we’ve discussed some of your goals so far that you have set to successfully accomplish with your mission, I just felt it was time for “me” to set some goals for myself as well! My friend I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of you right now! My friend! If there’s anything that I could help you with in making sure that your goals are successfully accomplished…. please don’t hesitate to let me know!
Gee Nino we must be really getting to know each other lately with our mindsets because as a matter of fact, there is something that I wanted to ask you in regards to acheiving my goals!
Great my friend!
My good friend…. what would you like to ask me?
Well Nino it’s no surprise to anyone by now that your determined to accomplish each and every goal, that you’ve set so far in regards to your mission! My friend I couldn’t have said it better myself because….. your absolutely right again with that assumption! Furthermore my friend I will not stop until each one of my goals that God want’s me to accomplish… are successfully acheived without any excuses! Well Nino that being said I was wondering if I could ask you another favor today!
My friend please stop asking me for favors! My friend how many times do we have to go through this until you understand…. why God has brought us together! My friend a ”BIG” part of our mission together is to help you in any area’s of your life that you need help in today! Ok Nino I promise from now on I won’t ask you for anymore favors…. I’ll just ask you for your help!
My friend all I can say to that is….. thank you!!!
Ok my friend so what can I help you with today?
Well Nino I was wondering today if you could tell me what your secret has been in you successfully accomplishing, some of your goals that you’ve acheived so far in your life today?
Gee my friend you’ve successfully done it again!
Gee Nino let me guess hmm I believe I’ve just come up with our next topic of discussion today! My friend your absolutely right….. but you also did another thing!
Gee Nino what might that be?
Well my friend you just hit on another one of my important goals that God want’s me to accomplish successfully without any excuses! My friend God and I truly believe that there are many people in our society today, who are struggling with successfully acheiving their goals that they set for themselves!
So my friend that being said I have some great news for you today! My friend would you like to know what it is?
Gee Nino absolutely…. I’m all ears!
Great my friend because your ears are going to like in what I’m about to say! My friend I’m about to grant your request and tell you, how you can also successfully acheive your goals today that you’ve made for yourself without any excuses! Gee Nino this is great news and you can bet that I’m going to take your advice very seriously today, in helping me to successfully acheive my goals from start to finish… without any excuses as well!
Well my friend that being said I believe it’s time for me to share with you my secret that has helped me in successfully acheiving, some of my goals that I’ve set so far in my life today! My friend! I would strongly recommend that you get out your pen and pad once again because I’m about to share with you, three rules that I’ve made and followed to a tee that has helped me today in successfully acheiving all of my goals that I’ve set so far!
My friend I guarantee you if you also follow these three same rules I promise you that at the end of our discussion today, you will also successfully acheive your goals that you’ve made for yourself without any excuses just like I have done!
My friend that being said….. are you ready to start successfully acheiving all of your goals that you’ve made for yourself today?
Gee Nino I’ve been waiting a long time for this…. let’s start acheiving some goals!
Awesome my friend!
Here we go again!
Ok my friend! We’re not going to waste anymore time talking about how your going to achieve your goals today, because we’re going to jump right into “my” three rules right now! Gee Nino I better start writing…. huh! My friend I think that would be a very good idea because after I give you “my” three rules, to help you successfully acheive your goals you’ll have no excuses whatsoever to give me in why you can’t!
Ok my friend listen up because here comes rule #1 in helping you to acheive your goals successfully! Ok Nino go right ahead….. I’m listening and writing! Ok my friend rule #1 is keep your goals simple! Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking you…… what do you mean by keeping my goals simple? My friend! I’m glad that you asked that question because God and I truly feel that this is one of the main reasons why, many people in our society today fall way short when it comes down to them completing all of their goals with success!
My friend what I mean by that is simply this! Well my friend it’s of no surprise to anyone today that we live in a society where people like to compete, with one another on certain things even when it comes down to setting personal goals! My friend would you tend to agree with me on that assumption? Gee Nino it’s funny that you should mention that because I would always try to out do my friends, and make my goals much tougher for me to complete successfully than they would! My friend if you don’t mind me asking by you making your goals much tougher than your friends, were you able to successfully complete them?
Gee Nino I have a strong feeling that your not going to be happy with answer! My friend only time will tell if that holds true! Ok Nino to answer your question I never was able to successfully complete any of my goals, because I just made them to tough for ”me” just to impress my friends! Well my friend I have news for you not anymore your not! Listen my friend! God does not want us to compete with one another when setting personal goals for ourselves today! My friend God wants to see us all successfully accomplish each goal that we set for ourseleves, but it sould only be done for “us” and absolutely for no one else!
Gee Nino I think I get the point that your trying to make to “me” here! My friend and what might that point be? Nino I should only set a goal that I know without any doubt whatsoever that I’m going to be able to complete successfully without any excuses! Furthermore Nino I should only want to successfully complete the goals that I’ve set for myself, for no one else but “me”! Gee my friend I couldn’t have said it any better myself…… well put!
Ok my friend that being said here comes rule #2…. are you ready?
Gee Nino absolutely…… I’m ready!
Ok my friend rule #2 in helping you to successfully acheive your goals is simply do not set time frames on your goals, when they should be completed! My friend I truly feel that this is another reason why many people in our society today fail to complete their goals successfully, because they feel that they need to accomplish them in a certain time frame that they put on themselves! Furthermore my friend when they see that their goals are not successfully completed at the specific time, that they set for themselves they get discouraged and quit trying!
Gee Nino I would have to agree with you on that because I have set time frames on my goals also, and when the deadline came and my goals weren’t completed…. I simply quit trying! Well my friend in case you’ve forgotton quitting is not an option for you anymore! Furthermore my friend what’s the big rush to have to complete your goals since you now know, that were not supposed to be competing with one another!
Gee Nino your absolutely right! Nino I have to say that I’m really learning alot from you today, in how I should go about in acheiving all of my goals that I’ve set for myself! Gee my friend I’m so glad to hear you say that but hang on, I still have one more rule to give you remember! Gee Nino I guess I’m get so excited to start successfully acheiving my goals the right way today ….. that I completely forgot!
Gee my friend don’t worry about it! My friend that being said I think we better get to “my” last rule today so you can start acheiving your goals today with success without any excuses! Gee Nino that sounds like a great idea! Gee my friend believe or not I’ve just given you rule #3! Gee Nino really…..what might that be? My friend! I was hoping that you would know it by now since we’ve been talking about it alot latley, which is simply “No Excuses”!
Listen my friend! I don’t think that this last rule needs much discussion at all since we’ve been talking about it, each and everyday that we’ve been together here! Gee Nino your absolutely right there is no need to discuss this rule any further, because I know what I have to do now!
Gee my friend and what might that be?
Gee Nino I think it’s quite simple! Nino I’m going to go home now to frame your three rules and hang them on my bedroom wall, and start implementing each one of them into each and everyone of my goals until they are successfully completed! Gee My friend now your talking my language once again…. let’s start successfully acheiving our goals together! Gee Nino I’m right behind you…. let’s go!
November 23rd, 2007
Hey my good friend it’s great to see you! My friend! I’ll be totally honest with you if it wasn’t for you meeting with me each week, I would be totally bored talking to myself! Gee Nino let me just say for the record if it wasn’t for you each week educating, motivating, and inspiring me, my life would be totally upside down and going in the wrong direction! Gee Nino thanks to you you’ve given me hope for my future, and a start at a brand new “me”!
My friend It’s like I’ve been telling you… time and time again! My friend don’t thank “me” I’m just the messenger here! My friend you should be thanking God for bringing me these very special people into my life, for making “Nino’s Mission” a reality not a dream! My friend! Let me just add by saying throughout my life there hasn’t been many people who would give me an opportunity, to be able to use the special gifts that God has given me to help other people until now!
Gee Nino let me just say you are definitely doing your job! Nino you’ve helped me and so many other people in our society so far, in alot of different areas in our lives that we’ve been struggling with! Futhermore Nino your taking the time to educate us each week on various things, that will help us in our lives today! Gee Nino and you’ve been doing it for us… absolutely free of charge! Nino unlike some people today who want to recieve something first, before they give out any information that might be of help to us today in our lives!
Well my friend! I believe I have the perfect response to give you here to sum up, everything that you just said to me! My friend would you like to hear it?? Gee Nino absolutely! Ok my friend I believe it goes something like this and I have a strong feeling, that you’ve heard it many times before throughout your life! My friend which is simply this…… it’s better today to give than to recieve! Gee Nino I definitely would have to agree with because that’s exactly, what you’ve been doing week after week! Well my friend you can be assured that’s what God, intends me to keep doing week after week here!
Well my friend that being said…. what do you say that we get, to our next topic of discussion today??
Gee Nino that sounds like a brilliant idea to me!
Nino so what are we going to discuss today?
Well my friend on the way here today I recieved another vibe from God in an area, that many kids in our society today are struggling to find a solution for in their lives! Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking you…. what area might that be in? Well my friend I’m glad you asked, because it’s going to be the topic of our next discussion today! My friend the topic that God wants me to address to you today, is the ongoing rise of kids who are struggling with obesity in our society today!
Well my friend I believe God and I have come up with perfect solution, to drastically reduce the numbers in kids today who struggle with obesity! Well my friend that being said in my next blog I’m going to help our young kids today, come up with the solution to help them win their battle over obesity in their lives today!
My friend! What do you say we get going and give the youngsters in our society, my solution to fighting the battle of the bulge??
Yeah Nino! I’m definitely ready to help fight the battle of the bulge with you today!
Great my friend! Let’s get to the battlefield and rid obesity for good for our kids in our society today!
Here we go again!
My friend! Let me first say to you that there have been many critics out there today who have put all the blame on the kids, with their poor food choices being partly the reason why their becoming more obese today than ever before! Well my friend I strongly would have to disagree with those critics who say this today!
Gee Nino! If you don’t mind me saying but if the kids themselves are choosing to eat unhealthy today and their parents, are allowing them to how can you say its not their fault! My friend! Hold the phone a minute I’m not at all telling you that the kids and their parents, are totally out of the woods for being partly responsible for the increase in obesity in our society today!
My friend! I truly believe the majority of the blame should be put at our kids schools today for why they are becoming more obese! Gee Nino I don’t quite understand! Nino what do the schools have to do with the reason… why kids are becoming more obese today! Well my friend I have the perfect example to give you in why I feel this way!
My friend! I could remember back in the days when I was back in grade school, and I would buy my lunches almost everyday! Gee Nino I definitely would have to agree with you, because I would buy my lunches at school everyday as well! Gee my friend if you don’t me asking you! My friend among all the choices your cafeteria had for you to eat everyday…. what was your favorite? Gee Nino I didn’t have many choices to choose from of what I could eat everyday! Nino all my cafeteria had for me to eat were a choice between greasy hambugers, pizza, and french fries!
Gee Nino I think I get your point your trying to make to me here!
Great my friend! What might that point be?
Well Nino it seems to me that the schools today don’t give the kids, many choices to choose from in what they could eat for their lunches everyday! My friend your absolutely right because that’s exactly my point! My friend I have the perfect solution here to fix the problem!
My friend! Would you like to hear it??
Gee Nino absolutely!!
Ok my friend here it is! My friend first of all I think the schools today need to start cleaning up their act, and begin a more healthier approach to feeding our kids and get rid of all the junk food!
Gee Nino I give you alot a credit!
My friend why’s that??
Well Nino since we’ve been together your certainly not afraid to speak your mind, on certain things where other people might not totally agree with you on! My friend I don’t deserve any of the credit of what I’ve been trying, to do, week after week here you should be crediting God! My friend I’ll say it to you again! My friend I’m only doing what God wants me to do that’s help people in our society today, who are struggling with certain issues in their lives and are in need of some guidance on!
Ok my friend that being said once again…. let’s get back to our discussion! Well my friend as I was saying if the schools start promoting a more healhier way, of eating for our kids today! My friend I guarantee the kids are going to want to start eating more healthier, overall even when their at home! Gee Nino I recall you to telling me earlier that the kids and their parents were not totally out of the woods, of taking some of the responsibility of why obesity is on the incline today!
Gee my friend thanks for reminding me! My friend I truly believe in order for my solution to end obesity in our society today is to be successful, there also needs to be cooperation with the kids and their parents today! My friend so here’s my suggestion to both the kids and parents! My friend it’s no secret today that our kids spend way to much time watching television and playing video games in their free time!
Gee Nino I definitely would have to agree with you because my nephews, do the exact same thing everyday after school! Well my friend not anymore! My friend its time for the kids and parents to start taking some of the responsibility, and take action to help put an end to obesity in our society today! Gee Nino what do you suggest the soultion is here? Well my friend I believe it’s pretty simple! My friend I sincerely believe that a vast majority of the parents out their in our sociey will agree on my soluton!
My friend! Are you ready to hear how the kids can play a role in helping to end obesity in their lives today??
Gee Nino absolutely because my nephews, are also going to take part in the role!
Great my friend here it is!
Well my friend the solution is a no-brainer! My friend I truly feel if our kids spend less of their free time watching television and playing those video games today, and more time engaging in some form of physical activity today! My friend I truly believe obesity will begin to decline, for our kids in our society today! Listen my friend I’m not at all saying that the kids have to start weight training! My friend all I’m trying to encourage the kids to do is start doing some sort of physical activities today, that would get them up and moving instead of them sitting down!
My friend I’ll give you a few examples of what I’m talking about here! My friend for instance like playing basketball or baseball just about anything that will get the kids up and moving today! My friend here’s how the parents can help make this a success for their kids! My friend simply by parents taking part in these physical activities along wth their kids, so they both can start feeling better about themselves!
Listen my friend! I can only give you advice in how we can go about dealing with certain issues, in our society that many people are struggling with today! Gee Nino I totally understand and I know alot of the people out there in our society do also! Nino especially on today’s discussion on obesity! Nino I know your only trying to help come up with a solution not add more confusion!
My friend I appreciate you saying that because that’s all that God wants me to do here is help people not hurt them! My friend let me just end today by saying one more thing on obesity! Ok Nino I’m all ears lets hear it! Well my friend I truly feel in order to successfully put an end to obesity for our kids, in our society today this needs to happen! My friend everyone invloved as you found out today, needs to be on the same page….. No Excuses!!
September 21st, 2007
Gee my friend I was just about to call you, to see if you were coming today! Gee Nino I apologize for being thirty minutes late today! My friend don’t worry about it….. is everything ok with you?? Yeah Nino everything is fine! Nino I actually just came from the gym!
Gee my friend you must of really worked out hard today, because your all out of breath and your shirt is soaked! Gee my friend! I certainly hope that you’ve been drinking alot of water after your workouts, because you need to put back all the water that your body loses after an intense workout!
My Friend! Have you been drinking at least a gallon of water… daily throughout your day??
Gee Nino! I don’t think your going to be to happy with my answer to your question! Actually Nino I’m lucky if I drink one glass of water…. throughout my whole day! Gee Nino I have a feeling what I’m about to tell you next, is not going to make you to happy either! Well my friend! Since your on a roll so far today being absolutely right about me not being happy, with what your telling me you might as well be two for two today! Ok Nino here it comes! Nino I never drink water after my workouts!
Well friend! I certainly have to tip my hat off to you once again!
Gee Nino! Something tells me that I just came up with… our next topic of discussion today!
Well my friend you just made it three for three today, because your absolutely right with making that assumption! My friend before we even begin our discussion today on why it’s so important, to drink that water today I’m afraid I’m going to need to ask you one more question!
Gee Nino sure but before you do can I just say… one more thing to you!
Absolutely my friend go right ahead!
Ok Nino! Nino do you remember our topic of discussion last week, when I was giving you all the right answers to your questions! Gee my friend absolutely! My friend you were on a roll, I believe I even gave you a gold star if I recall as well! Yeah Nino you did but I have a feeling that I’m not going to be receiving, any gold stars from you this week!
Ok stop right there my friend!
Listen my friend! I certainly don’t expect you each week to come up with all the right answers, to the questions that I might ask you! Gee my friend! Just think if you gave me all the right answers to my questions, each and every week our mission would be over! I’ll be totally honest with you my friend! I actually like it when you don’t come up with all the right answers to my questions, because God want’s to make sure that you keep me doing my job! Which is simply my friend to continue to educate, motivate, and inspire you so you can also, teach others one day these same principles in their lives as well! My friend like I keep telling you over and over again, we’re in this mission together!
Gee Nino! Are you trying to make me feel better by telling me this?
Absolutely not my friend! I’m being totally honest with you!!
Gee Nino thanks I feel alot better now…. you can go ahead now and ask me your next question!
Great my friend!
Well my friend! If you haven’t been drinking water throughout your day…… what have you been drinking then? Gee Nino I’ve been drinking alot of diet soda and tons of orange juice! Gee Nino something tells me that’s not a good thing for me to be doing! My friend your absolutely right again! My friend that definitely is not a good thing for you to be drinking, all that soda and orange juice everyday!
Gee my friend! I’m surprised you don’t have a hole in your stomach by now, with all the acid and carbonation that you’ve been drinking! Well my friend! I have news for you that’s all about to come to an end because in my next blog, I’m going to tell to you why it’s so important for you to be drinking that water instead of all that acid and sugar!
Gee Nino I had a feeling that you were going to say that to me! Nino I also have a feeling that I’m about to be educated once again today!
Gee my friend your absolutely right again and you told me earlier, that you weren’t giving me any right answers today!
Ok that be said my friend!
Are you ready for your next lesson on why it’s so important, for you to be drinking that water??
Gee Nino I sure am! Nino I even have my pen and pad ready!
Great my friend!
Here we go once again!
Well my friend! Let me first start off today by commenting on something you said to me eariler, which was that you never drink water after your workouts! My friend am I correct by saying that? Yeah Nino your absolutely correct! Well my friend! I know for a fact for myself knowing how hard I train each and everyday and all the water that I lose, in the process if I didn’t immediately drink water after my workouts I would literally pass out!!
Gee my friend! I don’t know how you’ve been doing it! Gee Nino! What’s wrong with me drinking diet soda and orange juice after my workouts? Gee my friend haven’t you been paying attention today! Like I said all that acid is going to burn a hole right through your stomach! Furthermore my friend all that acid and sugar that you’ve been drinking is going to eat away, at your hard earned muscles that you’ve worked so hard to get! My friend! Did you know by you drinking that water it will help keep your muscles looking full, and also help increase your muscle size as well!
Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that water will help increase my muscle size, and keep them looking full! Gee Nino this probably explains why my muscles have been looking quite flat lately! Well my friend I would have to say that’s a pretty safe assumption by you, I definitley would have to agree with you on that as well!
Ok my friend! If that didn’t convince you of the fact that you need to drink that water, maybe what I’m about to tell you next will! My friend! Did you know that by drinking water it can help decrease your bodyfat, and also flush out all the bad toxins in your system and keep it clean! Gee Nino I certainly didn’t know that either! Nino I think I’m starting to realize today, of how important drinking that water really is in my life!
Gee my friend! I’m glad to hear you say that but I have one more reason to tell you why drinking that water is so important in our lives! My friend I strongly believe this reason I’m about to give you, is going to make you want to go home and start drinking that gallon of water!
My friend! Are you ready to know the most important reason of all on why… you should be drinking that water??
Yeah Nino let me have it!
Ok my friend here it is!
My friend! Did you know that water plays an essential role in keeping our skin looking smooth and healthy! Furthermore my friend water will prevent our skin from drying out and cracking! Gee Nino this also probably explains why I’ve been using alot of moisturizer for my skin lately, because its been extremely dry and rough! Gee my friend your absolutely right again!
Well my friend! I certainly hope today that I was able to convince you of how important, a role of drinking that water plays in your life! Gee Nino are you kidding absolutely no question about it! Gee Nino I’ll say it again! Nino you know how to put things in the right context without being pushy, to where anybody would want to take your advice and follow your lead!
Oh Nino one more thing I’m going to go home now and get rid of all the diet soda and orange juice, that’s in my refrigerator and replace it with tons of bottled water!! Gee my friend once again your talking my language! My friend! What do you say I treat you to a refreshing ice cold bottle of water? Gee Nino now your talking my language let’s go!!
August 21st, 2007
Hey it’s great to see you back! How have things been my friend since we last saw each other?? Nino I guess things are going ok! Gee my friend that sure didn’t convince me at all that things are ok with you! My friend is there something on your mind again…. that you would like to talk to me about? Gee Nino you sure have gotton to know me well, since we’ve been together…. your starting to read my mind! Nino I guess I can’t really hide anything from you!
First of all my friend why would you want to hide, telling me anything that might be bothering you! Remember my friend my mission that God has me on is strictly, to help you with anything in your life that you might need some guidance on! So my friend now that being said again! Please tell me what’s on your mind? Gee Nino I’m sorry it’s just that you’ve helped me in alot of area’s so far in my life, and not forgetting my sister getting her off those diet pills!
Gee Nino I feel that I need to return the favor….. and help you with something!
My friend you have been helping me!
Gee Nino how have I been helping you??
My Friend the answer is pretty simple! Which is simply you sitting down with me each week in allowing me to discuss with you, these important topics that our society today are struggling with and need some guidance on!! Ok my friend I think I’ve said enough!
So my friend! Are you ready to tell me now what’s on your mind??
Yeah Nino!
Great! What is it?
Well Nino do you remember my friend that I told you about, that was in an car accident that left him permanently disabled! Yeah my friend! How’s he doing? Well Nino that’s the problem….. he’s not doing “anything”!! Gee my friend! What do you mean by not doing “anything”? Well Nino it was last week that I wanted to take him to the gym with me, to get him to start weight training with me! Ok my friend let me guess…. it didn’t go down to well with him!
Actually Nino your right again! Gee Nino I even took him to your website to read your story on you explaining why, you started to weight train and how it’s helped you tremendously both physically and mentally in your life! Nino I was hoping after he read your story, it would motivate him to start weight training with me! Gee Nino It would mean alot to me and his family, if you could try to convince and motivate him to start weight training!
My friend consider it done! Listen if anybody know’s the benefits that weight training, can have on a disability I believe it’s me! As you know my friend I’ve been asked alot of questions by people reguarding my disability! My friend here’s the question that seems to top this list! How I’m able to have such a positive attitude and outlook on my disability?? Well my friend my answer to them is simple! Ever since I started to weight train my attitude and outlook on my disability has completely changed!
Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking! How has weight training changed your attitude in how you look at your disability?? Gee my friend do I need to remind you again! Ok I’ll give you a few examples! First competing in numberous bodybuilding contests! Oh that’s after being told by the critics out there that it was impossible, for me to compete in open classes and for that matter win! Let’s see my friend I have one more for you! When I set the State and National bench press record, after being told by the critics this time around that I was out of my league! Listen my friend the point that I’m trying to make here is simple! If I didn’t start to weight train and believe in myself there is no way, that I could have accomplished either one of these things in my life!
Gee Nino do you think you can motivate my friend to change his attitude… and get him to start hitting the weights?? Well my friend that’s exactly what I intend to do in my next blog! If you seriously think I’m the only person in the world who can weight train, with a physical disability and be successful… boy are you ever wrong! Believe or not their are many people out there like myself, who are weight training today with a certain physical disability!
Well my friend your about to be included along with many others, who are going to start weight training as well reguardless…. of what your disability might be!! My friend I’m going to tell you what you can expect to happen both physically and mentally to you if you begin to weight train! Let me just say my friend your going to have an entirely different, attitude in how you look at your disability as well! Oh my friend I almost forgot and also how society…. will look at your disability! Which is simply my friend in a positive way! My friend I know It’s something that your not used to but you better, start getting used to it from now on in your life!
My friend! The negative attitude on your disability stops now!!
Are you ready to start seeing the physical and mental benefits that weight training, can have on your disability in your life??
Yeah Nino!!
Here they come!!
Well first of all my friend! Let’s start with the physical benefits that your going to be seeing shall we! First with anybody who starts to weight train your going to see yourself, getting a whole lot stronger! Listen my friend I don’t care what your physical disability might be! Wether it be you confined to a wheel chair or walking with crutches like myself, you can still strengthen your muscles! There’s absolutely ”No Excuses” why you can’t! I have so what makes you any different than me……. absolutely ”Nothing”!!
Ok my friend! I see that you need a little more convincing….. how’s this one! Well the most significant physical benefit that your going to be seeing, is your body starting to transform into a lean mean fighting machine! Oh my friend and here is one thing your going to have to get used to, once that happens! Which is simply you receiving alot of compliments by people in how GREAT your physique is looking! Gee I don’t know about you but that would be all the motivation, I would need to start and keep on training!!
Gee Nino! I’m sorry but I’m still not convinced of the fact how weight training is going to help, boost my spirits in how I look at my disability! Well my friend I’m not in the least surprised that you would say this to me! Gee wait one minute my friend… don’t make up your mind just yet! I still have to discuss with you the mental benefits… your going to be seeing as well! I strongly believe my friend the mental benefits will be the deciding factor, to convince you to start weight training!
Well my friend once you start receiving all these compliments by people in how GREAT you look, then you can expect this to start happening! Would you like to know what it is my friend?? Gee Nino of course! I need all the convincing you can give me right now! My friend your going to start developing…. the very same attitude that I have today! Which is simply! “The I Can Do Anything Attitude” reguardless of how severe your disability might be! Like I’ve said to you before my friend! Just believe in yourself and your going to be amazed, what a little weight training can do for your self esteem!
Gee I almost forgot to mention to you the most important… mental benefit of them all!
Gee Nino what is it??
My friend I saved the best for last! Well once people start giving you compliments and patting you on the back, and say to you what an “inspiration” you are to them! My friend your response to them, is going to be the same one that I give them! Would you like to hear it?? Gee Nino! Do you even have to ask me….. of course I do! My friend your going to respond the very thing that I’ve been trying, to plant in your mind since day one of my mission! Which is simply these two words “No Excuses”!!
Gee Nino! Do you really think I can develop your same motto if I start weight training??
Believe or not my friend you’ve always had it you just have to start, putting it to use in your life! Listen my friend I can only try to encourage you to start weight training, and feel better about how you look at your disability! My friend I cannot force you to do something that you don’t want to do in your life, you have got to want to do it for yourself!
Listen my friend I’m going to leave you with one more thought for you to think about! Gee my friend wouldn’t it be nice for a change in your life, to see the positive benefits that your disability can bring you!! Oh not forgetting how other people will benefit from your NEW “No Excuse Atittude”!!
July 3rd, 2007
Hey my friend welcome back! I have to tell you how excited I am to see, how much we’ve been able to accomplish together so far since day one of my mission! Let me just tell you my mission wouldn’t be off to such a great start, if you didn’t allow me the opportunity to sit down with you each week to discuss all these important topics that we’ve covered so far! I certainly hope you will continue to allow me the opportunity to discuss, alot more topics with you! Like I’ve been telling you were in this together, this mission is as much yours as it is mine!!
Gee Nino I should be thanking you! Let me just tell you Nino since we’ve been together, you’ve completely changed my whole outlook and my attitude towards my life! Gee Nino I know you don’t want to be looked at as an inspiration…. but you’ve been that to me and others in ways that you cannot imagine!! Gee Nino when I think of quitting or make excuses of why I can’t do something, I think of you and all that you’ve overcome with your disability! Nino I wish I could say the same holds true for a friend of mine!
Actually Nino now that I’m on the subject, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor!Of course that’s why I’m here! We’ve been together long enough now for you to know you can ask me anything…. I hope you realize that by now! Yeah Nino I know! So what’s the favor??
Well Nino I have a friend who recently was involved in a car accident, that unfortunately has left him permanently disabled which has confined him to a wheelchair now! Nino I’m really concerned about him because he does nothing, to help himself also he blames God for what has happened to him!! Gee Nino I wish he would have your attitude and amazing drive…. to overcome his disability! Nino I even took him to your website, and he just puts his head down! Gee Nino it’s like he dosen’t want to listen to me… or anyone in his family who loves him! Nino it would mean alot to me and his family, if you could try to get through to him!
My friend you don’t even have to ask…. consider it done! Well beileve or not this happens to be another goal….. that God want’s me to accomplish as well! It’s also a huge part of my mission!! If anyone knows how it feels to be considered permanently disabled, because of an unfortunate accident it’s me! I’m here to tell you my good friend your not alone, their are many people out in today’s society who struggle with the same thing!
I’m here to tell you my friend and others simply this! No matter what the disability might be or how severe it might be, you can overcome the odds just like how I have! In my next blog my friend I’m going to teach you how not only how to overcome your disability… but be successful also in your life without any excuses!!
My friend are you ready for me to help change, your attitude about your disability??
It’s time to overcome my friend!
No more excuses!
Here we go!
Well let me first say my friend I use the word, disability very loosely in my life! It’s like I stated to you earlier in one of my previous blogs, we all have a disability in life wether it be visible to the human eye or not! That being said we all can overcome whatever the disability, there’s simply no excuse good enough why we can’t! I’ll be honest with you I didn’t think that was even possible for me at first either! Like I’ve been saying all along to you….. boy was I ever wrong! The person that made me realize that, was none other than God!
Yeah at first my friend I was also angry at God, asking him the same question that you’ve been asking him! Which was simply this! ” Why did you make this happen to me”! Well let me tell you my friend that’s the wrong question to ask God! Unfortunately there’s an old saying that we all know very well! Which is ”Things happen for a reason”! Well I had no choice but to figure out, what that reason was! So I simply asked God what was the reason for this! Well he sure gave me a strong enough reason why! God was going to use my disability to help you and others to understand, you still can be successful in life whatever the disability!!
Well my friend in case your wondering how God, is allowing me to show you and others…. how I’ve been able to be successful with my disability! Well it’s pretty simple my friend! Would you like to take a shot on what that might be?? My friend the answer is right in front of you…. through Nino’s Mission! Listen I don’t have to tell how I’ve been able to overcome my disability, it’s really no secret to anyone anymore! I’ve simply made “No Excuses” for myself! In case you need a refresher just go back and read my story, it’s all there my friend!
Listen my friend this particular goal is by far the most important one for me personally to accomplish successfully! I know all to well how it is and feels, to be classified as “permanently disabled”! I’m happy to say my friend I also know now how, to overcome a physical disability! Simply stated “No Excuses”!!
Just believe in yourself and ask God to show you the way, and you will be successful! I’m not telling you it’s going to be a walk in the park, there are going to be some bumps along the way! Gee God knows I’ve had my share, but I picked myself up each time and pressed on towards my goal! Well I have news for you my friend, you now have a new goal for yourself! To overcome your disability without any excuses! We will overcome together my friend…. you are not alone anymore!!
May 29th, 2007
Hey there you are! Your always the first one to arrive buddy… why so late? Well Nino I know the last time we were together…. you taught me how to have patience with Gods grace! Yep that’s right! So how’s that been going? Have you been finding that you have alot more patience…. than before our discussion! I’ll be totally honest with Nino…. it’s been just the opposite! That’s the main reason why I’m late today…. I’m thinking about quitting! Nino I’ve been really trying! Everything you’ve been trying to teach me… just doesn’t seem to be working for me! Nino I felt that I should tell you now…. before we go any further! Nino I just don’t want you to waste your time with me…. so this is going to be our last meeting together!
I truly can’t believe what I’m hearing! If you think for one one minute I’m going to allow you to sit here…. and to say to me that your throwing in the towel sorry it’s not going to happen! I have to hand it to you… your telling me that your quitting but you sure haven’t quit on one thing! Would you like to know… on what that might be?? I believe you’ve done it again! What did I do now Nino? It’s quite simple my friend…. the topic for our next discussion!
In my next blog I think it would be a wise idea… to get your notepad out again! Oh I also want you to have your eyes and ears wide open…. because this blog is going to be dedicated to you! Let’s see here…. so your telling me you want to quit! Ok so that means that I can quit too…. because it’s like I’ve been telling you were in this together! Oh I forgot there’s only one problem…. God won’t allow me to quit! Well that only tells me one thing…. your not quitting either! Well I don’t know about you… but I’m getting pretty tired talking about quitting! I think it’s time for me to give you…. some reasons to hang in there and don’t quit!!
Are you ready??
Ready or not…. here we go again!!
Well you know I’ll be honest with you… I’m glad were having this discussion on quitting! I truly feel our society is receiving way too high marks…. when it comes to quitting! Yeah you heard right my friend! This is actually one of those times…. I would like to see everyone fail and that includes you too!! Believe it or not this might shock you about me… but my marks on quitting were quite high for a good part of my childhood! Well those marks went down considerably…. when a person with great power and understanding came into my life! Would you like to take a guess…. on who that person might be?? Cum on I’ve been branging about him to you…. since the start of my mission! Well I see you have a blank look on your face…. let me help you out again! The one and only…. God the almighty!!
I believe God is telling me the best way to motivate you…. to stay in the game is to share with you a time when I wanted to quit on myself! I know that’s hard for you to believe… but it’s true! I can give you a good example… of how I almost quit! Well as you know after the surgeries on my legs were unsuccessful which unabled me to walk on my own…. I just wanted to quit living! Well there was just one person standing in my path from that becoming a reality…. God! Gee Nino everything you’ve been telling me about your life seems to include…. God to help you through the difficult times you’ve had!!
I honestly can’t believe what you just told me! It was just a minute ago… you wanted to quit on me! Do you know what you’ve just done for a second time today?? What now Nino? Well I’m about to tell you buddy! I believe you’ve taught yourself the very lesson… that I’ve been trying to get you to understand since the beginning of my mission! Which is simply this… we live and accomplish things to give glory to God!! Just think about it if you quit now do you honestly think….. you would be bringing God glory that he truly deserves!! I’ll tell you what you definitely would be bringing him…. nothing but sadness and disappointment!!
I definitely know for me… I wouldn’t want that on my conscience knowing that I quit on God! How about you?? Gee Nino I didn’t really think of it that way… I guess I was just thinking about myself! Well believe or not… I think you just taught yourself another lesson today! Which is simply this it’s never about us…. it’s all about God!! Here is something to think about! Always remember God sacrificed his life…. so we could have one! Gee Nino you sure know how to make a person… feel guilty about quitting! Well that’s exactly what I was hoping for…. is it working! Oh there’s one more thing! God never quits on you …. so why are you quitting on him!!
Listen I sincerely hope I was able to send you a clear message…. to stay in the game and not quit!! Well I’ll tell you if God isn’t a good enough reason for you to keep going…. you sure haven’t learned a thing on my motto! I think you need a refresher on what that is…. “No Excuses”!!
April 2nd, 2007
Hey buddy…. welcome back! How have things been going with your training? Let’s see if my memory serves me right I believe you were unsure… on the path to take the heavy or light weight approach! Well if I remember correctly we were able to come to an understanding… on the path you were going to start off on right! Yeah Nino… I’ve been sticking with your philosophy…. I guess it seems to be working for me! Gee that sure didn’t sound too convincing to me! What’s wrong?? Listen whatever is on your mind…. I’m here to help remember!
Well Nino it’s just that I’ve been working out so hard…. I just haven’t seen my body change at all! Nino and what makes it more frustrating for me, I have a friend who started at the same time I did…. and he’s gotten huge!! Well I guess there’s one thing I forgot to mention Nino…. he told me he’s experimenting with steroids!! Ok stop right there…. I think I’ve heard enough!
Let me tell you it’s truly amazing how everytime we get together…. you just give me an idea about what our next discussion is going to be on! I’ll be honest with you…. I was really hoping we could avoid talking about steroids… this early in my mission! The main reason is I didn’t want you to get side tracked…. and start to lose focus on what I’m trying to teach you! Well I guess now it can’t be avoided…. so we better deal with this now! Well I think you know what my next blog… is going to be about so let’s get going!
Here are my thoughts on the use of steroids!
Are you ready to be educated once again??
I truly hope you listen very closely because I truly believe….. this is major issue that our society is battling with today! I truly feel that steroids are being used by more professional athletes and teenagers today than ever before…. and it continues to be on the rise!! If that’s not bad enough…. even celebrities are getting into the act as well! The statistics are astounding to me…. and it just seems to be getting worse by the minute! This truly saddens me…. in how our society is dealing with this type of drug abuse!!
Well I hate to be the party crasher… but it’s going to be dealt with right now! Listen I don’t want you to be another statistic…. or anyone else for that matter! What kind of message are the professional athletes sending to their fans… who look up to them! I’ll tell you the message their sending! Instead of them using their gifts and talents God has blessed them with…. they use steroids to up their game! Well that definitely tells me one thing! These athletes have been doing the very thing…. that I’ve been teaching you not to do in your life!
Their making nothing but excuses…. which only allows me to believe they have absolutely no self confidence in their abilities!! What really bothers me the most…. they get paid millions of dollars to do what they do!! I truly believe them using steroids… isn’t written in their contract! Well I guess we all know… where all of their millions they receive are going towards!!
I sincerely feel that stiffer penalties need to be used… on these athletes who are caught using steroids! I definitley don’t agree with suspensions or fines…. gee it’s not like they can’t afford it! I truly feel the only solution to ending steroid use… in all professional sports today is very simple! Would you like to hear it?? Listen I’m not trying to be a poor sport…. they should be banned from playing ever again!! If you think I’m being unfair.. I think I’m being more than fair! Now that I think about it…. they should be thanking me for saving their lives!!
For these professional athletes who honestly think their invincible… from getting serious health problems or even death down the road their wrong!! I can easily give them an example of what I’m talking about! I don’t know if you remember a professional football player… back in the late seventies who’s name was Lyle Alzado! Well he was a big time steroid user he’s not anymore…. because he died from it!! Like I’ve been telling you God does not discriminate…. even when it comes to steroid use!!
I can honestly tell you God wasn’t kidding when he gave me the nickname…. “The No Excuse Natural Bodybuilder!! I can honestly look at myself in the mirror… and be proud of that nickname!! Well as your well aware by now I make no excuses and without a doubt…. I’m 100% drug-free! I definitely know for a fact God wouldn’t approve of me taking steroids… to help me acheive my level of success I’ve had so far! I honestly believe if I did take steroids…. God would have made me fail each time I did a contest! Oh one more thing my mission…. would be filled with excuses!!
Listen I sincerely hope that I was able to send… a clear message to you about using steroids to help increase your muscle growth! I have some advice for you to tell your friend… and by no means am I trying to make a joke of all this! There is absolutely no doubt that steroids is the way to go to gain incredible muscle growth…. but at the same time it’s making other areas of the body shriek in size!! I seriously don’t think I have to tell you… what parts I’m talking about!! I definitely know one thing I never have to be worried about anything shrieking…. on my body!! How about you??
