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.

Hello my Champions. Hope you're converting all this reading into some doing.
No post today (as such). I don't wanna overload you with information and inspiration; you might blow a gasket or something.
However, a little craigharper.com news update is on today's menu...
* GYST Challenge. So the finish line is in sight!! Four weeks of toil, sweat, tears and joy is drawing to a close. It's been a busy four weeks for the bald man and I; lots of emails, lots of feedback, lots of work on the site and lots of fun. Overall, you guys have done well. A few have fallen of the wagon, a few have made modest progress and a few of you have made giant strides... but keep in mind that the ultimate goal is life-long change. Let us know your thoughts, ideas, suggestions and feedback on the GYST. We may or may not repeat the exercise at a later date... we're weighing it all up. It's lots of work for baldy and I but we have felt it's been a worthwhile project. Maybe monthly check-ins?
* A BIRTHDAY next week!! Yep, on October 3, 2006 craigharper.com took it's first tentative steps in the blogoshpere. They were indeed shaky. One whole year! Who'da thunk it?? I may have to get drunk for the first time! Hmm... probably not. Don't go to any trouble you guys; just something big, extravagant and expensive will be fine. Maybe we can have a cyber-party? Or a real one? You're all happy to travel right? What's a few thousand miles between friends? Lotsa space at the gym. A few cheesecakes. And something for you too. How should we celebrate our first year?
* A CAREER with CH !! I need a Trainee. Every year I (via my business, Harper's Personal Training) offer a twelve month traineeship (like a one-year apprenticeship) for a person who is trying to establish him or herself in the big, wide world of P.T. Right now, I'm looking for a young (or not-so-young) amazing, dynamic, passionate, fun person with a big engine (work ethic), high pain-threshold (Craig threshold), great people skills, hilarious sense of humour, engaging personality and a strong desire to learn and grow. You will need to be cert. 3 and 4 qualified (or well on the way), prepared to put in way too many hours for way too little money... and in return I will work you like a dog for a year. Sound good? Okay... you will work in "one of the biggest and best PT centres in the world" (Richard Boyd, PT on the Net), develop lots of skills, learn a buncha stuff, work with some amazing people, be fast-tracked into the world of PT (if you're any good) and if you're lucky, be both hugged and harassed by me on a daily basis. Irresistible huh? Obviously this is really only suitable for Melbourne-based people but.. I guess it's open to anyone. If you're interested, email me via the site, let me know some stuff about you and leave some contact details. If you're precious, high-maintenance, lazy or easily-offended, don't bother. I do make it sound so attractive don't I?
* Video Posts. Baldy and I (okay, mainly me) have been somewhat negligent with our video-posting responsibilities. We get regular requests (amazingly) for more of them, so as of next week, we will post one fortnightly. Waddya think?
* You may or may not know about a thing called Technorati. It's a type of system which ranks blog sites (like this one) based on the amount of links coming to that site from other sites. A link from another site is kind of like a tick of approval (this is how the bald man explains it to me). Anyway there are over 70,000,000 blog sites globally (apparently) and the vast majority of them are not personal development sites (like this one). They are tech sites, media sites (from very large media outlets) and a zillion different blogs which hang off the back of a wide range of businesses and products. Anyway, our ranking inside of twelve months has gone from over 50,000,000 to somewhere in the 6,000's... When you consider the size of the blogoshpere... that's kinda cool huh? Johnnie tells me this is pretty amazing.
* Traffic to craigharper.com. We're heading towards 100,000 visitors per month (looks like we'll get there in the next few months)... which means that in 2008 we should have well over 1,000,000 visitors for the year. See what happens to an idea when you wrap it around some passion and sweat?
* This Sunday I'm MC'ing the WNBF Victorian Bodybuildingand Bodyshaping Champs at the Clocktower Centre in Moonee Ponds, kicking off at 1pm. So.. if you're in the state, interested in hot bods... an wanna say hello.. come along. I'll be the dashingly handsome one in the suit.
Okay.. I'll be the one in the suit.
* You may have noticed that at the top left of the homepage we have a new addition (a little grey box). Johnnie in his infinite wisdom and with his amazing tech skills has managed to drag my sorry ass all the way to the top of the google rankings for the search-term 'motivational speaker.' I can assure you that this ranking is not a reflection of my speaking skills but rather his tech skills and too-large brain. Great achievement (in under one year) when you consider that the search term (motivational speaker) generates over 2,000,000 matches. Well done Google boy.
So there it was... a not-so-quick ch.com update.
If you have any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, feedback or questions, hit the comment thingy and start typing. I will reply to as many as possible (a little busy these days).
We don’t know why, but people go crazy for these shirts. Perhaps it’s because they allow us to tell people what we really think without wasting our breath! Order your shirt here.
