Jeremy Biden lives his life by three words:
Courage
Confidence
Control
These are the pillars of his professional and personal success. Jer manages people everyday, and does a dynamite job. Now he is managing his weight. He is managing a life transformation.
He is 90 days into his 365 day goal to lose 100lbs in one year. Every Friday Jer provides us with an update on his progress. This is what he wrote;
Well Team “Wolfpac”, we are just over 90 days into this journey and what a ride it has been. 100 pounds in 365 days, those numbers jump out at anyone who reads them but 90 days has changed me and not just physically.
90 days has lead me to 43 pounds lost.
90 days has lead me to 59 inches lost.
90 days has lead me to think more about what I have done, what I am doing and where I am going.
You can’t build a house on sand unless you have a strong foundation.
“Get fit Jer” has opened my eyes, not just to losing 100 lbs in a year but really learning what I’m made of, learning what I am capable of.
What is my foundation?
My foundation starts with my BFF, my wife Debbie. You can’t tackle a life changing thing like this by yourself.
Who is my support system?
You need a solid support system to have a solid foundation. My support system is growing day by day. The “wolfpac”: David Kittner, Amy Hollingsworth, Candace Thomas, and Michelle Ferreri just to name a few but there are more. The roots of my trees are branching out far and wide.
This week I finished my workout, and a young man named Holden who was training after me paused his workout to come chat with me. We’ve never met but he wanted to make sure I knew he was part of the pac. He’s one more piece that’s building and shaping me and the wolfpac. Just like Jess, Sue, Terry, Matty and Dave, and the list goes on and on and will continue to grow and grow.
My best friend back home, Jeff Stevens told me in 2001 about an article. I read it and it has stuck with me professionally and personally for 14 years. Any of my current or former staff know Uncle Jer’s famous 3C’s:
Courage
Confidence
Control
They sound cliche, but they aren’t. Think about the worst day of your life or about the best day, I bet you at least one of those words got you through it. I bet one of those words allowed you to achieve what you wanted to or needed to.
Foundation
Support system
Courage
Confidence
Control
These are my 5 pillars of success. As we grow and move forward we need to add to our foundation. The bigger and stronger it is, the more unstoppable we can be at whatever our goals are. Your self worth will increase. How you value yourself will improve. Your mental health will change and IMPROVE.
Losing 100 pounds in a year. That might be all you remember or think of when you hear “Get Git with Jer”, but for me it is about so much more than losing 100lbs.
Me in 2006 eating a rowdy rose burger in British Columbia. I’m still that Jer, but I’m mentally & physically healthier
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the comments, the likes, the shares, the views and stopping to say kind words to me in public. It means a lot and it only makes my foundation stronger.
