Hello Everyone!
The last month has been very different and difficult for me and I apologize for not completeing last month's Get Up, Give Back, but I am now back and ready to go! So, let's get back into getting up and giving back.
First up.. It's time to congratulate Theresa Ihrig-Gause and Christa Diehl on their job in September!
The second month of Get Up, Give Back is complete!
I'm so proud of Theresa Ihrig-Gause and Christa Diehl. They set the bar so high, it was amazing to see the transformation begin and see them shine DAILY! They did some fitness EACH day of the month. Between prepping for a 5K, an injury, families and jobs, they still made a little time to take care of themselves. And it showed with their numbers. They enter the alum program with flying colors. I'm so happy. They truly are examples of what you need to do to not only help youself, but help others.
To Theresa Ihrig-Gause and Christa Diehl: My glamazons. You made me work in September. Thank you for not only helping yourself, but helping your organizations. It is amazing to be apart of your life.

About Get Up, Give Back:
Get Up, Give Back is a program that will be in my first non-profit organization, Big Hearts. The idea is simple: Each month, two participants are tasked with working out. Each day, they report what they did. For each reported day, they receive $2.50 for the organization of their choice. At the end of the month, I will donate that amount to the charity. It’s a win-win situation. They win for working out. The charity wins by getting a donation.

Get Up, Give Back - September 2011 (Mid-Month Update)
Wow!
This month is off to a supernova of excitement for Get Up, Give Back.
To start, as promised, I donated money to Bethany Vale and Dave LeBlanc's charities of choice (click their names for their Twitter accounts). There is nothing better than loyalty and pride. I'm so proud that Bethany Vale and Dave LeBlanc, as well as myself, took the initiative as the first participants of Get Up, Give Back and not only lost some weight over the course of the month, but we did it for a reason.
We help ourselves in the cause of helping others simultaneously.
I'm so glad that they stepped up to the plate and handled business. And as loyal to them, each of their charities was given a donation on their behalf. The ASPCA received $70 on Bethany Vale's behalf and the American Heart Association received $60 on Dave LeBlanc's behalf. I felt great that each side of this program did what needed to be done. Now, animals are being cared for longer because of Bethany Vale. And because of Dave LeBlanc, we can do more research, care and recovery for heart conditions. All because they decided to get up and get fit.
It's quite awesome when you put it into perspective.
This month's participants, Christa Diehl and Theresa Ihrig-Gause are off to a furious start. Each has reported fitness numbers everyday. These ladies are looking to break records this month.
So far, Christa Diehl has burned 33,464 calories!
Theresa Ihrig-Gause has walked approximately 67,000 steps (30 miles).
And we are not even halfway through the month! They not only inspire each other, but are inspiring me and the world. People are rooting them now from the Twitter world, the Facebook world and other friends and family.
And that's the heart of Get Up, Give Back. They are getting healthier and putting fitness into their daily regimens, but also, doing it for a right reason, while getting others to join. I'm already so proud of these ladies, as well as the past alumni. They are really doing the right thing in the big picture.
I also decided to throw in an extra challenge this month. I challenged each participant to a little fun, to not only spread the word of Get Up, Give Back, but to showcase their passion of life.
Each one has until the end of the month to complete a video challenge. If completed, a $25 additional donation will be added to their charity.
Christa's challenge is to video record an exercise to a song of her choice, with her daughter, Ella. Here, she will be able to not only showcase her fitness talents, but also introduce us to her daughter and show that exercise is a family affair. We look forward to Christa's video at the end of the month as part of the September close-out!
Theresa's challenge was to create a karaoke-remake of a Top 40 song to a Biggest Loser theme. Theresa completed it in less than a day. Her video has 90 hits already and it's only been a few days! AMAZING! Now, more people are getting a chance to here a message in a familiar song and maybe even get up and go to gym or just dance. She's changing the world, with just the power of vocal inspiration. She did great! And because she completed it, she instantly received $25 to her 5K for the Alzheimer's Association.

I look forward to the rest of September to see how they do! :). Just wanted to tell everyone I am proud of them. I am proud of us. We're making history here. Now, celebrate and get up, give back. Go make your life and your future important to yourself and for others.
With that note, I'll leave you with Theresa's video, part of the Get Up, Give Back challenge. I give you, "Move Like Harper!"

Get Up, Give Back (August 2011 - Update)
It's a great thing when you get a chance to give back to the community that you are a part of. Whether its publicity for the organization through re-tweets or messages, some volunteer time or just a quick financial donation, you are doing so much to help the world that you love. It helps define who you are and what you are passionate about. And it shows true growth. You can now not only love yourself, but love countless others. I enjoy being part of many communities and give to many different causes. My dream is to save the world. And I think giving to the community is a great start.
Get Up, Give Back is a program that will be in my first non-profit organization, Big Hearts. The idea is simple: Each month, two participants are tasked with working out. Each day, they report what they did. For each reported day, they receive $2.50 for the organization of their choice. At the end of the month, I will donate that amount to the charity. It’s a win-win situation. They win for working out. The charity wins by getting a donation.
I wanted to give you an update of this month’s progress, as we get started for the September challenge.
1. Dave LeBlanc - Primary Get Up, Give Back Reporting - Walking Distance
2. Bethany Vale - Primary Get Up, Give Back Reporting - Calories Burned
As of 8/22/11, Dave has walked approximately 50 miles so far! He has already raised $35 for the American Heart Association!
As of 8/22/11, Bethany has burned 57,000 calories! She has already raised $45 for the ASPCA!
Additional activities that they have also done include: stair-climbing, yard work, house-cleaning, exercising and even dancing!
I'm so proud of them. We are in the home stretch this week. Between the two of them, they have done so much for themselves and also are preparing for making a nice donation to their causes.
It's a honor for them to represent Big Hearts! They are taking their health into their own hands and also getting a chance to help out some wonderful organizations. I'm so glad that they are not waiting until tomorrow to make a difference to themselves and the world today!
I'll do a final report at the end of the month, when also introducting September's participants!
I'll leave you tonight with a parting thought: You are a product of your beliefs, wisdom and experience. Turn that product into a wise investment for others to enjoy. That's the way to live and love in life.

Get Up, Give Back - August 2011 (Welcome Dave and Bethany!)
Welcome to the August Get Up, Give Back Challenge!
I'm so excited that this is finally here and we get a chance to change the world. Here's the background of the challenge I created, for those that are new to the blog:
About a year ago, I auditioned for NBC's Biggest Loser. While I did not get cast, I began to think, "I might as well save the world before I get cast. And when that time comes, I'll just be even more ready to save the world." So, out of that experience, I started a dream. I have a dream of starting a non-profit organization called Big Hearts.
This organization will assist through advocacy and wellness to help those that are needy of financial assistance, supplies and clothes. While I complete the paperwork process, I wanted to find a way to not only improve my health, but also have others do the same, while all finding a way to give back to the community. From that dream, Get Up, Give Back was born.
I'm not a rich man. I have many things going on in my life, including an ailing family, job transferring and the ever-lasting battle for human equal rights. But, I always feel that you should pay it forward. You should always do something good for you and also for someone else.
Get Up, Give Back is simple. I pick 2 Twitter friends (I don't like the word "follwers") that want to participate. During the month they are assigned, we have a task: Work out. That's it. Just work out each day. Go running, jogging, hit up a gym, do weights, walk the dog, complete a nature walk, do yardwork. Just something that makes us more fit. They tweet me daily to let me know where they are at. I track the days. At the end of the month, I tally up the workout tweets and for each day, they are given $2.50. The total is then donated to the charity of their choice.
So, we get healthy, save ourselves and save others at the same time. It costs them nothing but time to work out. I don't have tons of cash, but I do have a heart of gold. This is how you pay it foward. This is doing something finally bigger than me. I'm so glad you've decided to join me for this journey! Let's do this! TIME TO GET UP, GIVE BACK!
Let's meet this month's participants!

Here's to Dave and Bethany! They have the eye of the tiger! Good luck and thank you for deciding to Get Up, Give Back!

Get Up, Give Back
At what point in your day do you do something that is bigger than yourself?
At what moment do you think that you're doing something better than what not only people expect, but you expect?
At what moment do you think that you've not only made a difference to yourself, but also to the world?
I try to have those moments all the time. In my job, I get to inspire others and help others with job skills and information to assist them daily. That's my job, though. There is a part of me that is infused with charity, though. A part of me that always wants to do just a little more for someone. A part of me that wants to give back to the community and to those that need help.
I regularly assist in drives, fund-raising activities and support with several organizations. A few to name are March of Dimes, AIDS Foundation Houston, It Gets Better, Lupus Foundation and the Trevor Project. While it's not bragged everything I do, I commonly donate time and money to these groups because they do something that's bigger than themselves: they help us. I don't have leisurely time to donate, but I do my best. Why? They help me realize that life is more than JUST me. It's more than when I'm upset while I'm stuck in traffic. It's more than when I'm mad that they are sold out of my favorite type of lemonade at the store. They teach me that we have a greater purpose. We need to help each other and those that can't help themselves so much. It's helped me realize who I am, what I need to do, and why this journey I'm on is so important.
I've always helped out others. Ever since my parents started getting ill, I've always tried to give every once of energy to their needs and happiness. If anyone ever needs a dollar, I'm the first one to sacrifice my money to do so. If anyone needs help with anything, I'm always the first to volunteer and see it to the end. That's who I am. And that's the reason why my journey is important. I am learning to put myself in that same importance to helping others. I'm looking for the right way to not only save the world, but save myself.
And I want you to experience that as well. Tonight, I introduce a monthly challenge to help guide my fitness, your fitness AND charity at the same time.
Introducting GET UP, GIVE BACK.
Challenge Information:
Cycle: 1 challenge per month
Number of participants: 2
Announcements: Twitter
Details: Each month, I will ask on Twitter for those that are interested in participating. I will keep track of these names. At the beginning of the month, I will pick 2 people out using an online random name selection process. They will be tasked to GET UP, GIVE BACK.
Now, I love sponsoring events. It's something I really enjoy. It gives me a chance to contribute to a foundation or charity that I might not be familiar with and also to expand my mind. I deal with so many in my life, that I sometimes love hearing what makes you passionate. What causes do you fight for?
Here's where you come in.
During the month that you're in the challenge, your task is to work out. That's it. Just work out each day. Go running, jogging, hit up a gym, do weights, walk the dog, complete a nature walk, do yardwork. Just something that makes you more fit.
Every day that you workout and let me know via Twitter (day of), I will associate $2.50 to your name. At the end of the month, that amount of money will be sponsored by me, in YOUR honor, to the charity of YOUR choice.
Yup. YOUR CHOICE.
Of course, there are a FEW rules that I want to have. The charity has to be established and has to be able to accept electronic donations. And this is honor system reporting. I don't need screenshots or anything, but be honest. :). Don't think you're taking my money. It's going to a cause. And you're getting healthy in the process. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I will be participating monthly as well. This way, I'm helping myself by working out, you're helping yourself by working out and we're helping the community by you picking a charity that needs help and I will sponsor a donation on your behalf to that group based on YOUR workouts.
It's a win-win-win situation, if you ask me.
If you're interested in being a participant in the challenge, let me know you via Twitter. Just let me know once. I'll keep a running tab, Also, let me know what charity you are looking to help. I am looking to start this in August 2011. Either reply to a tweet or DM me. And on the 1st of the month, I'll announce the participant and feature him/her and their charity in my blog and tweets as updates become available.
Are you ready to Get Up, Give Back? I know I am. Let's do this. Let's make a difference. Change your life and the lives of others around you.
You get one shot at life. Why not spend some of it making it better for others?
At what moment do you think that you're doing something better than what not only people expect, but you expect?
At what moment do you think that you've not only made a difference to yourself, but also to the world?
I try to have those moments all the time. In my job, I get to inspire others and help others with job skills and information to assist them daily. That's my job, though. There is a part of me that is infused with charity, though. A part of me that always wants to do just a little more for someone. A part of me that wants to give back to the community and to those that need help.
I regularly assist in drives, fund-raising activities and support with several organizations. A few to name are March of Dimes, AIDS Foundation Houston, It Gets Better, Lupus Foundation and the Trevor Project. While it's not bragged everything I do, I commonly donate time and money to these groups because they do something that's bigger than themselves: they help us. I don't have leisurely time to donate, but I do my best. Why? They help me realize that life is more than JUST me. It's more than when I'm upset while I'm stuck in traffic.

We need to help each other and those that can't help themselves so much. It's helped me realize who I am, what I need to do, and why this journey I'm on is so important.
I've always helped out others. Ever since my parents started getting ill, I've always tried to give every once of energy to their needs and happiness.

Grow in the Right Direction
When I was 3, I grew taller.
When I was 13, I grew smarter.
When I was 23, I grew wider.
And now, at 33, I am growing upward.
Growing is important. We have to grow to reach what we want. We have to grow to achieve dreams in life. Simply put, we all grow because we do. Whether it be in age, size or intellect, we all grow. HOW we grow, though, is important. Are you growing in the right direction? Are you doing all you can to grow upward? It's a tough road, but it can be done. I'm trying my best every day to grow and I wanted to share how I've managed it with you. I don't want to grow wider anymore. I want to grow upward. And I'm not going to stop growing upward until I'm above the cloud. How I'm doing this is through a simple statement:
Growing is a matter of identifying the Big Picture and doing the right thing, at the right time, every time.
I believe that there is always a bigger picture. In comparison, it's in the movies, when you see the couple kissing at the very end. The scene moves out and you see the city, then the state, then the country and we end up looking at the galaxy. That's the Big Picture theory. While you may feel the world is either against, of for, you, there is something much larger at scale based upon each action. This is how I see it. I believe that everything I do can have an effect somewhere to change fate. Let's look more at this Big Picture.
Looking at your life in the Big Picture is a great way to measure your growth as an individual and as someone that is improving life. Note: I didn't say "your" to be exclusive. I use it to put myself back into place and realize that this journey that I'm on is more than "just me." I can't "woe is me" anymore, because there's something bigger than that. The Big Picture shows me that growing is more than just me, it's growing for my community, growing for my culture, growing for my lifestyle and growing for my cause.
It took me a while to realize that I make impact in the Big Picture. I do things and it's going to affect something, or someone else. Whether it be taking a second to open a door with someone that has their hands full, or whether it be me taking time out of my month to go to the food shelter and volunteer to help with paperwork, something I do is having an effect on someone else. I'm chose to make it positive. And with that, I'm growing upward. In the Big Picture, the person with their hands full is going to have a better day because they didn't have to put anything down to open the door. And the food shelter isn't going to have to worry about extra paperwork. They can focus on the "food" aspect of it because I'm helping. That's growth to me. That's doing a little more. I think I'm trying my best to do this every day by doing something more than I did the day before. Giving a little more. Pushing a little harder to make this day even better. And now, I'm adding wellness to it.
I'm starting to work out now an seeing how I can add this to my growth. Each time I do something to improve my health, I'm helping the Big Picture. I'm getting a chance to not only help ME, but I'm also assisting my family when they ask how I'm doing it, I'm helping my budget by not having to buy bigger clothes every other month. And I'm helping my friends who are also of size. They can see me and know that it can be done. And that it's not difficult to begin growing in the right direction. I'm even starting to combine the Big Picture with my wellness. If there is a walk/run/dash that I can do, I will do it to not only get some time in to work out, but also to support a good cause. It's the Big Picture. It's doing good for me, while doing good for you and doing good for them.
I count everything I do as an accomplishment. And it's helping me smile everyday and count everything as a blessing and as an opportunity to help others. People don't reach their goals by going backwards. People reach their goals by going forward. They approach their goals by GROWING. So count everything that you are doing to improve your life, someones life or the life of countless others. There's more than you think. You're growing more by the second. Let's all share this time to improve wellness and helping in the Big Picture. Let's all grow upward.
Your Homework: Divide a piece of paper and into 4 quadrants. Take your age and divide it roughly into 3. For 3 of the 4 quadrants, list your ages based upon the division you made. In example, if you're 39, you'll have 1-13, 14-27, 28-39. Label the last one as NOW.
In each quadrant, list accomplishments that you've done in those ages. Ways that you've grown. It could be graduation, motherhood, moved out, got married, ran a race. Lost a pound. Walked a mile. Anything you feel is an accomplishment or achievement of greatness. A growth upward.
In the NOW quadrant, write new accomplishments that you do each day. Keep this paper on your fridge, office computer or somewhere you'll see everyday. Update every time you do something helping the Big Picture. Keep track of your accomplishments. And watch them... GROW!
You'll suddenly see how through your healthy living and philanthropy, you are so much stronger and well-balanced. We'll notice that each day, you're affecting the big picture, and you're growing. You're growing upward. You're helping others and yourself more than you've ever imagined. You're going to see that in the picture, you have an impact to your own self-actualization AND your world.
How have you grown today? I'd love to hear! Feel free to e-mail me, message me or anything. You know I'm always here for you if you need an ear, shoulder or just a big ole' hug. Love you all!

Why Do You Do What You Want To Do?
What gives you that motivation do go a step further? Is it a number? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Or is it something bigger than that?
Motivation is a key element to reaching your goal. It’s something that everyone has to begin a journey and what most people need to complete the task. Think about to when you were in school. Motivation could’ve been from getting a weekly allowance for good grades. Motivation could’ve been envisioning yourself walking across the stage getting your diploma. Maybe, in some cases, motivation at school was a chance to see someone you had a secret crush on. These motivators allowed you to think of your goal and realize that there is nothing that is going to stop you in achieving it.
The one thing about motivation is that it stays embedded in your heart. It never leaves. At time, there may some outside influences that shelf it, or move it back, but it always stays with you. It’s part of your soul. And you have to make sure you always remember it. Why are you doing this every day? Why do you fight harder and harder every moment to reach your goals? Never lose sight of your motivation. If you do, the road to your goal becomes just a little longer. You feel in a rut and you feel that results aren’t happening as fast. You begin to feel lonely and can get distraction. That’s why you have to harness your motivation. Bring it back to the forefront. So, let’s do it. Here’s a simple question: What is your goal and what motivates you to that goal?
Let's compare notes:
My goal: Change myself by improving my wellness and being though fitness, community service, charity and advocating. Live by knowing that I have the ability to help me. See by keeping a constant vision that I have an impact on my community. Become a better me.
My motivations: This is a multi-part answer.
My family – I come from a family of survivors. My parents are both disabled and have had health problems for many years. We’ve never been the “silver spoon” family. My family has had to sacrifice so much at times to survive. And we have. My family motivates me because of their strength. To know that one day, I will be able to say I survived obesity and not have to worry about heart issues and problems gives me that strength I need to push forward. Knowing that they can be proud of me for my charitable acts because of lessons I’ve learned from them motivates me more than they know. They have raised me well. I’m glad I get to use all of those life lessons and pay it forward. Nothing gets me more pumped to reach my goal than seeing the happiness of my family when they know I did proved “I can survive.”
My friends – My friends are such a motivation to me. Through their wisdom and personal stories, they’ve made me realize I’m never alone in this. So, I’m doing this for them, just as well. Seeing them root me on in my journey, having them read me a quote or even say, “When I saw this, it reminded me of” reminds me that I do have impact on the world and that I need to make sure that it’s the best impact that I could make. To know that one day, my friends will be with me at the same spot and we’ll all be making a difference and loving each other unconditionally, is motivation to do anything in the world.
Myself – To know that when I’m done with reaching my goal, I’ll be healthier, smarter and more helpful to society motivates me more than ever. To think that I’m going to work as hard as I can today to live easier tomorrow and can dedicate my whole to helping others and teaching other that they can reach goals through their own selves is extremely powerful to me. We are all as powerful as we choose to let ourselves be. And know that I’m doing this for not only my family and friends, but also MY future, gets me going every second.
Your Homework: Take out a piece of paper and write in the upper ¾ of the page, “I DO ALL OF THIS FOR:” and then place pictures of who/what/why you do everything for under it. And place it somewhere you look at every day: a mirror, the fridge, a clothes closet or even a washing machine. That way, whenever you get up or out for the day, you’ll always see what motivates you. Keep that constant reminder when you see your children’s picture or a picture of yourself when you were thing, you are going to get there because you don’t want to let any of those motivations down.
So, what are your goals and motivation? If you want to discuss it, send me an e-mail, tweet, message or just comment below. I always have an open ear, shoulder and hug for you! 1Love4All.

Welcome to The Jase Race!
Howdy, name's Jase. I’m going to change myself and the world for the better.
Welcome to The Jase Race!
It's going to be a fun run and I hope that you enjoy this time we spend together. I also hope that you'll send this blog with your followers as well. At the end of the day, it's all about love. So, share the wealth! :)
I'm going to use this blog to showcase a more in-depth look at what I believe in, how I believe in and my trials and tribulations while I become a better me. Over the blogs, you're going to get a chance to see how I tick and what things in my life shape me to who I am today, mentally and physically, and what I'm doing to fine-tune those.
This is me, by the way:
