Craig Harper - Fattitude.

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.

GYST Challenge in Review.
Well Groovers the GYST Challenge is indeed done and dusted.
All over Red Rover.
Put down yer glasses, bar's closed.
Finito, completo.
Done-orama.

As lame as this may sound (if you're a cynic), I want to tell you guys that I'm genuinely proud of you all for having a go, getting off your collective asses and facing your fears. Reading over your updates has made me cry more than once... and yes, I know I'm putting my alpha-male reputation at risk by sharing that.
I'll take that chance.

We had some mixed results; some people didn't get past the first few days and others worked their asses off (literally on occasion) and submitted updates for the twenty eight days, but overall, I feel it was a positive experience.
You?

Some thoughts moving forward:

1) As I've said many times, this little project of ours was a starting point for something incredible if you made it that. There's no use gettin' all busy and excited for twenty eight days and then going back to... 'normal'.
Normal sucks.
Normal schmormal.

By the way, one of the best ways for you to stay focused and motivated (personally) is to invest your energy into helping others be all they can be (trust me on this, it works). Helping others to do cool stuff and change their reality is all the motivation I need. I don't have to 'motivate' myself because I am constantly inspired by you guys and everyone else I work with.

2) I was gonna hand out a couple of small encouragement prizes to people who I felt had done something special over the GYST journey... but then I got to reading all the updates and I thought that it wouldn't be fair to single out a few.
So you're all getting nuthin'.
Donuts.
Zippo.
Okay?

Oh all right...

Everyone who has submitted all four weekly updates by midnight tonight Melbourne time (and no, you can't send in weeks two and three now!) will receive a copy of each of my little books (a $20.00 gift from me to you).

Yep, I'm ace. Say it out loud.

All you need to do is send your name and a postal address via our website email by this Friday (Oct. 5)... and you should get your books within a week if you're in Oz and two weeks if you're from some far-away land.

3) While some of you would love the GYST to be an on-going (as in 365 day) Challenge, Johnnie would have a nervous breakdown and die of exhaustion if I made that decision.
However, I have decided that on Monday the 29th of October we will have a post-GYST Challenge update (for those who wish to be involved).
28 days after the 28 days, so to speak.

So you have another four weeks (and a lifetime) to do something amazing and to keep those wheels turning.
Again you will submit an update, again I will read all of them, and again you will be given the opportunity to encourage and support each other via this site.

4) Johnnie has done a HUGE amount of work on this Challenge to make it all work practically and technically. He works tirelessly, makes my life easy and does way more than he needs to. He is the real deal and in many ways is more integral to the site than the ex-fat kid.
Love you Johnnie - thanks.

Send Johnnie a hug if you get the chance.
(You too boys; he loves those man hugs)
Not.

We're working on it.

Congrats to my GYST team:
Janine, Ron D, Madelyn (the writer), Ute, Ellen, Greg, Justice, Elle, Michelle (Tasmania), Tami 2, Moyra, Melissa (New Zealand), ST and her anonymous sister, Ceridwen, Doug (New Mexico), Lili Ann, Sandi, Angela, Barb J, Anne, Jessie, Leigh, Jodie, Elroy, Sue Reid, Diane (Sydney), Leah K, Jess K, Dee Britton, Kirsten, KK, Virginia (Melbourne), Clare H, Tim (Chicago), Kate, Pip, Miss Beck, Sal, Frank, Louie (Phoenix), Jen (Mildura), Ganesh (India), Tami (US), Barney, Kaddy, Snoskred, Julie (Hobart), Kerry, Finn, April Groves, M, Dianned1, Amanda B, Amber Jordon, Debbie, Irene N, Kristy, Leann, Pip Dodds, tlee, Andy, Charmaine Connolly, Kelvin (US) and Sepyroth...

Group hug... ( )
