Day 12

Some good results coming in now and don’t forget, we are only in DAY 12!!! Cyril has reported now that he is down many inches on his waist, and what a fantastic job he has done so far! As i told him, if he can achieve so much in just a short amount of time, imagine what he can do over the extended period such as 84 days?!!!

The one thing cyril and we all worry about is the weighing scales, and we all need to move our minds away from that a bit, because it can really mess us up mentally some weeks if our weight hasn’t moved, or even worse put it on!! The reality is that weight loss never moves downwards in a straight line, and there are sometimes bumps on the road, in fact, expect them!

Once you are moving down that road though, you can become unstoppable as long as you are continually doing the right thing, and many of you are, some at a quicker pace than other. Debbie mentioned the tortoise and the hare story, and that’s quite true, as long as you are all moving in the right direction, you will all get there.

It’s always important to do in the right way too. Don’t go too low on your calories for the quick fix, you want to be showing some progress right up until day 84, and not feeling so hungry that you are miserable all the time!!

Your lifestyle has to fit into this too. As i have mentioned in several posts, i have given many examples of shorter workouts that are destined to give you enormously good results.

I have given you advice and which foods to buy in your supermarket, ideas for meals and there’s even family ideas in there so you can compromise with your children too. This is not some kind of spartan regime, it’s meant to allow you live a healthier lifestyle for the rest of your days. If you manage to do this, and there’s no reason why you can’t, the quality of your life will be very much enhanced and when this happens, life becomes very much more fun!!!

We have the weekend coming up, be interesting to see how tomorrow goes because saturday’s is usually your fun and relaxing day. I’d bet some money on it that those treats you thoughTyou couldn’t do without will soon become sickly and not quite so nice as before. Same as today, you may be having your treats tonight, the trick is to still enjoy them, but try not to make it one big binge that lasts from friday to sunday night!

We are in day 12 and most of you should see some benefits coming through pretty soon or already! Sticking at it is the secret!

Day 11

One of the most common reasons you hear from many people on why they don’t exercise, or even eat well, is they “don’t have energy”! Those of you who have started may laugh at this excuse now, but it’s only because you have got going yourself, and started to adopt healthy habits yourself, that you’re able to laugh that excuse off now.

How much energy does it take to go to the supermarket to get some fresh food? You don’t even have to leave the house, i do a lot of food shopping online myself particularly this week, so not much energy needed to click a few buttons! It may be harder to drive to McDonald’s that get healthy food these days.

What about exercise? I see so many people these days driving to their workouts, such as the coastal path’s famous in this area. I’m not asking you to make new world records for the marathon!! A simple slow walk will get you started, and one of my inside workouts is suitable for anyone at ANY level, i have given you ways on how to test yourself, and then test yourself once a month to create new workouts. From the feedback on here, i see that many of you are developing fantastic levels in your inside workouts, certainly far in excess of those workouts you would achieve in a gym!! And you have to drive to the gym so another excuse avoided!!!

Here’s the bottom line, the more you move, the more energy you actually CREATE! The less you move around, the more tired you become and your desire to exercise goes down even further. Anyone who exercises will tell you that!

Here’s the bottom line on eating, the more healthy food you eat, the BETTER you feel! The more junk you eat, the more horrible you feel and your view of healthy eating will become distorted, as if healthy eater’s are some kind of freaks! Anyone who has been in both camp’s will tell you that!

Through my various posts so far, you know by now that when you exercise, you will be feeding fresh oxygen into your body every time, and clearing all the “bad stuff” out!

When you eat well, you will be putting fresh nutrients in, and clearing all the bad stuff out, creating a better digestive system.So for all of you who haven’t taken this challenge on yet, it’s only day 11 out of 84. plenty of time to change your life for the better so your choice!!!

Day 10

We are into wednesday already, and im getting used to world of no sleep again! Despite that, and having the week off working, i’m still trying to get a workout in here and there.

How’s your checklist doing?

Drunk enough water?

Breakfast today?

Snacked in mid-morning and mid-afternoon and healthily?

Eaten a good healthy lunch, but not stuffed yourself so much that you’re tired all afternoon?

What’s on the evening menu? Enough veggies going in and are you consuming enough protein with most meals? It can have a real effect on burning more calories.

What’s your workout plan today? Is it inside or are you hitting some fresh air workouts? Guaranteed to make you feel a lot better!

Have you had any moments of doubt today? Is your self-belief still high or is there someone negative looking to throw you off course? If they are trying to do this, then they haven’t your best interests at heart.

Is the programme becoming more positive for you, and is it a bumpy road due to external factors outside your control?

Are you committed to the programme still, or are you looking for the exit door by making the “same old excuses”?

Are you making some improvements to your workoiuts? By now, your numbers on each exercise should be going up.

Is fresh and more natural food easier to stomach? If it isn’t stick with it and you won’t go back to fatty/sugary foods…ever!

Are you feeling overall better, both physically and mentally? If you have applied yourself, then chances are the answer is very much YES!!

Whatever you have achieved so far, things will only get better so let’s keep building on these strong foundations you have set!
