Thursday, 17th January

I am overwhelmed by the good success stories this year.

Never before, and i have been doing this a lot of years, have i seen the enthusiasm for training and eating as i have seen this year, and this is truly uplifting!

I think the big plus is that before anyone starts training with me, they know right away that they are going to be on a programme that is sensible, is measured and makes us both accountable. The know there won’t be any eating short term fixes, there won’t be any workouts that will destroy their joints, there won’t be a lot of shouting and screaming, they won’t have to take painkillers just to recover from their sessions (believe it or not that goes on i’m told regularly), they won’t be on any shakes and bars, they won’t be starving all the time and the bottom line is that they WILL be using a LOT of common sense.

The good news stories include a lady who hasn’t exercised for 40 years, and despite life-threatening disease in the very recent past, she is moving better than ever and has followed her pre-christmas efforts to bring her waist down by 10 inches in just 4 months.

How about the the gentleman who is now playing three different sports? Squash, football and badminton, despite never played sport in school, just because all the other kids used to make fun of him because of his “man boobs”!! This very difficult and potentially destroying experience has now become overcome, and he is having a new lease of life………..at 42 years of age!!!!!!

I want to hear good human stories all the time, and its even better when you’re involved in them each and every day i can tell you!!!

January 17th may be the dark time of the year, but these inspirational stories will always bring a lot of light into people’s lives!!!!
