Monday, 23rd January

Monday is the start of another week for you, another week of change and you wouldn’t like it any other way!

Change is inevitable and your body is changing right now. Your cells and body as a whole changes slightly every day, for the better or for worse.

Everything changes, the economy, business, technology, just about everything wants to go quickly and there’s nothing we can do about it!

When change happens, you either go along with it and do your best and look for all the benefits, or you can pretend it’s not happening and resist it, and get run over by it! Your choice but one of two things i going to happen!

You should see change as an opportunity for growth and fresh levels of health in your life.

If you eat pie and chips for lunch, doughnuts for snacks and a bottle of win tonight, then change is going to happen for you in terms of increased body fat, in terms of more body weight, in terms of lower energy and definitely make you far more irritable!

We talk about the other sort of change on here all the time, the one where you live healthy and we practice what we preach? You know that one!! You know all the benefits by now so hope i don’t have to remind you.

So if you accept there’s going to be two sorts of changes in your life that you can’t avoid, you will be fine.

The first one is the economy and weather, the economy is in the gutter right now, but will eventually get better, and the weather may be freezing or absolutely lovely, depending on time of year, you know how it is by now.

Regarding your health, that will only go downhill through your habits most of the time, or it will improve again through your habits most of the time!!!

Everything is spinning around all the time moving forward, up to you if you want to get on the bus and keep changing for the better!

Educating individuals on how to eat well and maximise their potential is always difficult, depending of course on how much they know already, some people know a lot already and some know absolutely nothing.

It’s worth sticking at it though because of the enormous benefits that will come with a proper eating plan. Hopefully you are reading this every day for a no nonsense way to improve your health, so I have to lay it down to you as straight as possible!

I have met so many people who have transformed their lives by switching their fast food diet over to fresh natural foods. If you want better skin instantly, a stronger leaner tighter body, a much stronger immune system and an amazing level of energy, then make the move now!

I cannot overstate the results you are likely to get from throwing away your past life of eating empty calories which can lead to ill health and low energy levels, to one full of rich nutrients that will energise you to a much higher quality of life. This is no gimmick and there are no faddy diet clubs in sight, this is real and WILL work!!!

People always say that its hard to eat healthy all the time, but that statement is totally false. This pack of lies is usually told by people who are not really committed to turning their lives around.

The hardest part is the first week when you make the initial switch, there can be headaches, irritability, light headedness etc all in the first few days, but give yourself a few weeks of eating right and how can you go back to feeling the way you did before?!!!

You will be in the fast lane of development, I have met some people who only ate crisps and chocolate all day for whatever reason, then they changed to white meats and fish, wholegrain and whole wheat pasta, new, sweet and jacket potatoes, brown rice, lots of fruit and vegetables and a steady supply of water, and they made a transition of such magnitude, that people thought it was scarcely possible!!

People all the time will tell you theres a million ways to do things, but if why not keep it to the most sensible, tried and tested and as it happens, the most SCIENTIFIC way of getting it right with your body.

January 19th and still not too late to get into great shape by spring, only you can decide to do it!!!

“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise”.

Robert Fritz, author of The path of least resistance.

Most of you who have achieved something in life will have experienced someone trying to talk you out of it in the first place. I know i certainly have. It’s fantastic to prove people wrong, and i’m sure many of you have done that, and it’s always been a result of keeping your head down and working hard in the end, and deflecting negativity and doubt that others will try to inflict on you along the way.

Not only do people talk you out of doing things that are important to you, they will sometimes call you crazy for even thinking about it!!! This is the point you know that you are onto something really special and others are envious about your upcoming possible big success in life.

There will also be those who laugh at you and will try to bring you down to their level. I don’t have to tell you by now surely that these types of people are exactly the ones you should be IGNORING and whatever they tell you, i would advise the exact opposite!

The greatest danger for most of us is not that we will aim too high in our ambitions and come a cropper, but by far the biggest danger is AIMING TOO LOW and reaching those levels!

It takes guts to have lofty goals, and deep determination to carry out the necessary things to get there. This is why not many people reach where they want to be.

Once you set your goals, however high they may be, start expecting them to happen and start practicing the habits to get there. If you want great health, then you had better be eating as much natural fresh food as possible, as well as sleeping well, and in addition to proper well thought out training of course!

It all starts with belief, without it you will aiming too low and unfortunately likely to get there!

Change course now and shoot high!

Im finding that people are now really blowing off the cobwebs in 2012, and are pushing on to new targets already.

I love getting in the first measurements in at the end of January to prove to people exactly how much progress they have made in the first month of 2012.

Having your progress assessed constantly is paramount in my book, and gives you fresh inspiration to push on to new targets for the month of February!

This January seen the best month ever for me in terms of client performance, and by that I mean my running, cycling, walking, at home, in the gym workouts have all surpassed expectations from more or less every individual.

This is what creates the adrenalin in my day and makes everything worthwhile.

I try to encourage everyone not to settle for decent results either. Of course, celebrate in the moment of good results but new targets have to set month to month, to ensure you have a great year with your health, and this ensures a fantastic quality of life!

So we have done an awful lot of talking this year, and how we are going to change things around once and for all.

The big question must be “are you the type to talk about things all year long, and waster another year, or are you the type to get things done, follow through on your promises, dare to imagine greater changes in your body and mind than you ever thought possible?””!!!!!

These are the brutal questions you should be asking yourself if you haven’t started yet, and what internally will drive you to get off your behind and get active!!!

Im here to help as usual in a truthful, tried and tested manner, even if that advice sometimes hurts your ego!!

Its 12th of January already, no time to waste in your quest for a physical transformation that will change your life!!!

“None of us can change our yesterdays, but all of us can change our tomorrows”

Colin Powell, Former secretary of State of the US

Most people who never succeed with the health and fitness plans usually dwell too much on their past experiences.

If you go through life with something heavy weighing you down emotionally, you’re always going to struggle to move at the speed you’re really capable of.

If you hang on to the past too much, negativity and doubt will influence all of your future decisions.

Anger, resentment, hurt, fear, regret are all emotions that will tie you up to the past, instead of letting you achieve great things in the future.

Resentment is a particularly destructive one you often see in people.

Here a great quote from Nelson Mandela

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies”

If anyone had reason to resent people, surely it was him?!!

2012 is where we are right now and the best time to let go of your past mistakes and unfortunate experiences, and move forward to all the possibilities that a healthy lifestyle offers.

If you drunk too much alcohol in 2011 and past years, then training sensibly and eating well will encourage you to drink less, get your body on track and energy back in your life. You will be improving yourself and others who had to put up with your drinking in the past.

If you smoke too much now, and promise yourself that you will exercise SOME DAY once you give the fags up, then stop making excuses right now!! Exercising and eating well will give you every incentive to give this destructive habit up once and for all.

If you were really overweight in 2011 and years before maybe, use 2012 as the year you’re going to finally do it, and the great news is that im here to help you the whole way!!!

Whatever your situation, leave the past behind, start with a clean slate and lets see how much you can achieve in 2012!!!
