| January 18, 2012 One Day After Surgery |
The new year is now in full gear! After successful
prostate cancer surgery on January 17, 2012, I have been declared cancer free.
No surrounding tissue around the removed prostate gland had cancer. For those
of you who are not up to date, I had an agressive form of prostate cancer
requiring the removal of the prostate rather than just treating it. The surgery
was conducted using the davinci procedure and was done at Holy Cross Hospital.
A second opinion from the Cleveland Clinic confirmed the complete removal of
the prostate. I highly recommend that guys get their PSA tests on a regular
basis. Back in October 2011 I had a routine test done because my wife happened
to go to the doctor due to flu symptoms. My PSA was very elevated so I went to
get a biopsy done. The biopsy takes 12 very small tissue samples from the prostate
and was done on an outpatient basis; I was out the same day and back to work
the next day. The results were at first devastating but then - after further
tests - finding out that the cancer had not spread to other parts of my body
was very good news.

| Colonel Bob with His Lovely Wife Grit on January 28, 2012 |
On January 28, 2012, I attended the annual Navy League Ball with my lovely wife Grit and got on the dance floor with her a couple of times. So what's my present status? I'm back to work as of last week. No running or strenuous upper body exercises for another two weeks. You
should have seen the beaming smiles on the faces of some of my boot camp
recruits when I mentioned, "No running for two weeks." I further
explained that my doctor said that I am not to run for two weeks; my doctor did
not refer to other boot camp recruits who have the pleasure of continuing to
run.

My favorite QUOTE:
It's not how long we live but how we live that is most
important. If we focus on how we live, we will - in all probability - live
longer and have a higher quality of life. by Colonel Bob

SUPPORT AND SOCIAL NETWORK BEST WAY TO PROMOTE FITNESS
AND HEALTH
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The special teams of the Navy SEALs just marked and
celebrated 50 years of service. SEAL Teams 1 and 2 were commissioned in January
1962. "You trusted the people you worked with every day because they would
take a bullet for you and you knew that," said Frisk, who became a SEAL in
1966. This exemplifies the level of trust and team support that exists amongst
SEAL members. This same level of trust and support in the pursuit of fitness
goals will accomplish an ongoig lifestyle that is healthy and not just a
temporary fix because it happens to be the beginning of the new year or because
summer is coming and you want to look good in that bathing suit. For the past
10 years I have strived to create an environment at beach boot camp that allows
all to feel welcome to attend and fully supported as if they have joined a
family. Those attending have embraced this approach. The veteran members have
immediately welcomed the new boot camp members into the fold and made them feel
at home and appreciated.
YOUR ACTION PLAN: Apply the support system to your
fitness program outside of the boot camp classes and seek out others who have
common healthy goals and join them in the journey to stay healthy and fit, and
have fun and make friends along the way.
