101: Who Inspires Me Wednesday: Frank Mastrandrea aka @lighten_up_blog

This week on Who Inspires Me Wednesday I have Frank Mastrandrea aka @lighten_up_blog with me and we are talking about his amazing weight loss journey. He started in May 2017 weighing in at 400 lbs and in May of 2020 is down to 226 lbs! We also discuss mindset and how important choices and attitude are on a day to day basis. During the episode, Frank shared a poem that inspires him and is definitely worth a screenshot here: Attitude by Charles Swindoll "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.  It will make or break a company... a church... a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes” Want to learn more about Frank?
