Day 19

Day 19

One of the secrets to be successful can be not letting your treat day, typically on a Saturday, become a half week blitz on your favourite treats!

Let’s look at tomorrow, Wales versus England in rugby, and many of you will be out tomorrow, having a few drinks or maybe lots more than a few, eating whatever you want and generally going way off your eating plan and really going to town on anything you want!

We have all done it, and nothing wrong with a blast now and again.

The real problem with this type of Saturday is that our whole weekend state of mind is changed. Most of you have eaten really well all week, achieved some really good results already and are very focused on this 84 day challenge.

What I mean about a state of mind change on the weekend is this. When you know you are having the big Saturday out, your Friday thinking can go too, as it’s like a version of being on holiday.

You think you’re going to let it all hang out Saturday, so may as well start on Friday! You may have a couple of drinks on the Friday, then have a takeaway, then Saturday morning you have a substantial cooked/fried breakfast loaded with a huge number of calories. Then the game is on Saturday tea time and lunch is usually very rich, and Saturday tea time onwards will be a write off of course!

Then there’s Sunday, you somehow crave cooked breakfasts on Sunday simply to feel better! Then, there’s Sunday lunch and most people always overeat that, and before you know it, it’s Sunday night and whole weekend has gone.

These are 3 huge days for you, and how do you think this will affect your progress? Well, you will have had 4 good days, and 3 bad days, and the 3 bad days will feature no or very little exercise. It should mean a week of zero progress, because you will be concentrating so much of simply “burning” off the weekend!

I would look at the weekend a little differently. I would continue exercising until Friday night, and eat sensibly still with a good selection of good food. Saturday doesn’t have to be trashed from the moment you get up, you can still eat well!

Nothing wrong with a few drinks for the biggest game of the year, but getting trashed into oblivion is really going to wreck your next day to say the least, and maybe a couple of days afterwards!

First thing Sunday morning, I would get up and run or cycle, despite maybe a headache, you do feel better after 10 minutes of doing it, honestly you do! Then your workout is out of the way early, and you will feel significantly better for the rest of the day and ready to start Monday with a bang!! Also, you will be far more motivated to eat well the rest of Sunday, and the great thing is that your fatty/sugary cravings will go straight away!!

Doing it this way, your week can turn into 6 good days, and bit of a blowout on Saturday, but with still good eating habits!

This is a great option of how you eat, drink and exercise the weekend!

Up to you of course!

Day 18

Day 18

Can you really believe we are in day 18 already? And I can tell you what’s got me really fired up today. Chris L contacted me today and was pleased to tell me that he last lost one stone and one pound already! 18 stone 2 pounds down to 17 stone 1 pound, quite an achievement and he’s still not happy! He has lots more to go he said but he’s very pleased he’s on the right track!

The good news is after checking my list of unique visitors to this site, we now have 89 individuals following our daily progress. This started off around 3 ten weeks ago, so has built up well without any advertising and thank you for that. Same people posting all the time though so a few more you posting would make sense now and help everyone else in their efforts to be in great shape.

My first week back working this week after taking last week off for the baby last week, and for the first time today, I was tired! Getting up daily at 4.15am doesn’t help maybe but I am used to that now, baby getting up in the middle of the night sometimes happens to, but everyone goes through that!

My solution? The natural reaction was to have 3 cups of coffee straight away, I didn’t, I have some water to clean my system out after sleep and to get my performance system ready. I had my porridge and protein shake and getting in the car I was starting to feel up for the day.

I get offered tea and coffee all day and I could take them, its an easy way to feel “up” for the day. I have found in the past though that it is a temporary high, and makes me irritable and leaves my energy levels often on the floor at the end of the day! Also, I can get sick of all that caffeine in my body, and I really believe my diet can sort me out for the day in a natural and better way. If I didn’t believe that was possible, I wouldn’t be posting here today. After a couple of workouts today, my energy levels have actually gone up, there have been no crashes and I don’t come home like an irritable pig!!

This eating thing is sometimes intimidating but here’s a challenge to you. TRY eating this way for 24 hours, then another 24 hours, then another one and will you please how much better you feel? Will you please do that? This will help others and most importantly, YOU WILL BE HELPING YOURSELF!!

All of us want to feel better, all of us want to look our best, all of us like compliments when we look good and have made significant progress, its human nature and you don’t need rubbish diet pills, magic beans or magic portions to do it.

Sometimes you have to give complete faith to something and I’m telling you right now that this is the day to do it. If you weren’t looking for amazing progress, you wouldn’t be on this blog and I’m offering you just that, amazing progress and it all depends on how much you’re prepared to put into this.

If you put a little bit in, you will get a little bit out. If you give your heart and soul to this, by mid-april, you will absolutely astound yourself with your unbelievable transformation. It can be done and give yourself over to this effort, you can do it.

Chris is setting the early example along with many others on this site, and we have all of February, march and most of april to go. The results could be staggering so let’s re-commit to this and be your best always!

Day 17

I was pretty fired up last night to tell you the truth, i have days of inspiring people putting some inspiring performances in, and its no surprise to you maybe that makes me well, inspired!! I also have people who could do better sometimes, and that’s what gets me pretty frustrated. I want the best out of everyone and when they don’t get there, it disappoints me but i know tomorrow is another day, so we will give it a shot then.

Another reason to get fired up is not letting this 84 day challenge ramble on like some kind of automated blog that puts out post’s full of cliche’s and not real world advice. I try to say it as i see it, and if that upsets some people, then that’s hard luck. The people who it upsets may need to look themselves in the mirror anyway, and examine why they are not reaching their goals.

Life is not about existing anyway is it? It’s not about just working your way somehow through to the weekend, and getting wrecked down the pub? Is there more to life than that?!!!

If you’re not excited about your life, isn’t it time to look at yourself in the mirror again and get off your behind and do something constructive about it? I have countless people asking me for help in all different situations, but when i give them the direct approach on how to get their lives back in order, many of them look at you as if you are from a different planet, and then they go back to their comfortable lives that they are not actually comfortable living in!!!

Those of you who workout on a regular basis and eat good food, tell me right now it doesn’t FEEL AMAZING?!!! Really tell me it doesn’t feel that good and you don’t have loads of energy in your life all of a sudden?! I THOUGHT YOU COULDN’T SO LETS GET OFF YOUR BEHIND, THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BROWSING AND NOT TAKING PART! I URGE YOU TO DO IT AND GIVE YOURSELF A BETTER LIFE!!!

Have you noticed the familiar theme here and sorry for shouting! I preach the basics almost every day and urge you to take action. Please don’t be one of these who has got all the gear and no idea? Don’t talk a good game and do nothing about it. Each and every one of you has the ability to transform your life in this challenge. We are only in day 17, feb 3rd!! You can still join by clicking on subscribe!

I am here to help as you all know by now, no lies, no faddy comments and totally the truth, whether you’re comfortable with that or not, this is your time in life so let’s do it!

Day 16

There are a few different types of people who train

1. Those who complain, they moan, they shout out loud about the fact that they aren’t in shape.

2. Those who train hard and smart, and get into good shape.

3. Those who exercise yet still moan and bitch about not being in shape.

I’m sure there are many on here in different groups, the one’s who complain will bitch about not going to the “right gym”, not having enough money to get into shape, not having enough time, they have read the latest men’s health “fashionable” magazine about how to get into shape in less than 10 minutes a day and it still didn’t work (most of those magazines are fashion magazines and full of faddy advice)! There are lots of excuses, lots of moaning to be done and if you are still on here and its not working for you, maybe you need to re-visit all the information on here because THE SOLUTION IS HERE!!

I”ve trained lots of different personalities and i’m at my all time lowest tolerance of people making excuses, i’m telling you straight! There is a way to train, there is an intensity to train at, there are certain fresh natural foods you should be eating, you shouldn’t be eating all man-made foods for instance, they are REALLY BAD NEWS for your body and you know it! I’ve met people who have joined gym’s for 5 minutes and apparently they have this wise guy attitude that they know it all, there are plenty of them. I have met people with the biggest ego’s in history, and i have learned to give all that crap right back at them and bring them back to basics, its the basics that work time after time after time after time after time after time after time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do i make my point?!!!!!!!!

Let’s not put up with any of this rubbish anymore, all of you are intelligent enough to really do this once and for all, i know many of you personally and i have seen you reach amazing heights before, its time to do it again right now and i want you all to dig deep, re-hash that shopping list and quit visiting the rubbish isle’s of the supermarket, most of the supermarkets are filled with enough salt, sugar, saturated fat to sink many battleships!

Let’s get aggressive, you need to some times and really get stuck into this! Let’s do those inside workouts 3 times per week, you can do your walking, cycling, running etc another 3 times, if not why can’t you fit it in, what is more important than you getting in shape so you can help your family and friends even more, you will become a much more giving person so let’s really get that energy back in your life!!
