and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

So last night was my ex-girlfriends wedding and I completed my master of ceremonies responsibilities with no dramas.
I was so responsible and mature, I was mindlessly boring. I didn't offend anyone. I didn't make anyone laugh.
Boring Craig. Safe Craig.
Despite my intention to create mayhem and pandemonium, I was a dud.
Someone selfishly pointed out that it wasn't all about me.
I was instructed to behave.
If I was a shoe, last night I would have been a desert boot; functional but ugly. If I was lunch, I was a cheese sandwich; bland.
So while the happy couple (Lincoln and Tami) shone and the band was phenomenal, the MC was about as exciting as steamed rice.
Oh well.
However, being the student of life that I am, I always find time to learn a few things and here they are:
LESSON 1. Being the only non-drinker in a room of 150 people makes for an interesting study in human behaviour. One old guy told me the same story three times and because it was a loud environment, he felt compelled to stand on top of me to deliver the story with maximum impact...which would have been okay, had it not been for his propensity to spit. By the final telling of the story, I was covered in slag and grog and was finishing his sentences for him. Each time I stepped back to avoid the shower, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back into the spray zone.
What is it with me and spitters? I'm a spitter magnet.
(If you're not sure what I'm talking about, read my archived posts "Space invaders with bad breath" and "Please don't sit in the next cubicle.")
LESSON 2. Blokes shouldn't dance. Ever.
LESSON 3. Old people shouldn't dance. Ever.
LESSON 4. Chicks dig blokes who are in touch with their emotions.
Lincoln shed a few appropriate tears when talking of his love for his new bride and for his family and friends. After his speech there were another seventy women who would have married him in eight seconds. I learned that it takes more guts to cry and show people who you really are and how you really feel, than it does to be a macho, emotionless, boofhead.
Note to self: Stop being a macho, emotionless, boofhead.
LESSON 5. If the Bride's happy, everyone's happy. The wedding ceremony, which was meant to be an outdoor extravaganza, complete with all the trimmings which go into twelve months of planning, had to be relocated indoors with sixty minutes notice. While Rebecca, the super wedding planner, was juggling her nervous breakdown with her numerous responsibilities, the bride's (Tami's) attitude was:
"As long as my friends and family are there, I'm happy."
What? Where's the stress? Where's the tantrum?
Aren't Brides meant to be highly-strung, fragile, melting pots of emotion?
Where's Bride-Zilla?
So on the biggest day of her life, the girl who had every 'right' to be grumpy and disappointed, spent most of it telling everyone "it would all be okay."
LESSON 6. I learned that, what makes a wedding day great (or any day great, for that matter) has very little to do with weather, dresses, cars, invitations or stuff ...and everything to do with attitude and how people choose to deal with situations and circumstances.
