The 7 day Cabbage diet challenge!!

Hello,



Hope you had a mega weekend!



This week I've set myself yet another challenge. All I'm hearing recently coming into the summer season is about the fad diets, why is this sort of 'quick fix' so popular?



Women are the main culprits, they complete a quick fix diet for an event, holiday, night out and then 2-3 week later wonder why there are back at there starting weight or worse!!?



THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO ANY WHERE WORTH GOING


The simple reason is stated above..by the time they've faffed about with three or four fad diets, fluctuating between dress sizes. 2-3 months has passed by and could have potentially lost up to 14lbs healthily and for life!


Anyway back to the challenge, This 7 day quick fix is very popular and I'm going to find out why!?


Day 1 - Oh today is going to be GREAT!, I can eat as much cabbage soup as I like.
I currently weigh in at 211lbs...

The talker decade...

Hello,

      This week I'm talking about motivation...or lack of it!!!

It's becoming more and more apparent that the population are getting lazy, everybody wants to lose weight, 'get fit', reach a goal. What do they do about it?....80% doing nothing but talk!! Then complain about their weight or shape of their body, there's only you who can change YOUR body no one else can.

People want instant overnight success - It'll never happen, what do you do if you want to be rich & successful?..work hard, what about at work earning a promotion?..you work your butt off to get the results needed to get everyone to stand up and listen that your there.


        I'm sick to death of 'talkers'

Talkers will never achieve anything or doing anything unless it's handed to them on a plate, talkers like the idea of losing weight or achieving something until it comes to the crunch and they'd rather sit on the couch or stay in bed.

You'll also find people who'll start but then after a couple of week tail off and tuen into a talker. We as a company churn out events, Saturday morning group sessions, Personal training on a regular basis, this seems to fall on deaf ears, yet I consistently read on Facebook the 'I need to start the gym again' status.

Everything now going into the 2nd decade of the noughties is to hand - Internet shopping, takeaways, football, games consoles, even talking to your friends!!...soon we'll be able to live life within four walls, never have the need to go out to get something, never have the motivation to get of our back sides and invest in living life longer - this decade will become a population of 'talkers'.

Give your New Years Resolution a Re-Boost!

Hello,

Coming out of January and into February many of your New Year's Resolutions will be either going one of 2 ways:
1. Fantastic and on course to achieve whatever goal you have set
2. Faltered due to improper planning

Planning is key to achieve any goal that you set, without this you will never fulfil your ambition!

Example -
You wake up in a morning and don't have a clue what your going to eat during the day, what will you choose to eat? - Junk food, Chocolate, Crisps, quick and easy food.

This pattern will become a habit, the habit becomes very difficult to break, your goal will never become achievable! Why? because you haven't planned - Simple.

Example 2 -
You take 20 minutes out of your weekend to plan your food for the week, even cook some mass food (tuna pasta, Curry, Potato hash) and freeze it, put your food plan up on the fridge and before you go to bed take your food out ready for the following day.

This pattern will become a habit, the habit becomes very difficult to break, you WILL achieve your goal!...Why? because you have planned using the 6 P's.

Give you resolution a re-boost. Re-define what it is you want to do, create a plan of action, follow it through - RESOLUTION COMPLETE! :)
