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.

A little news and then a simple message for the end of the week....
Brett Goldsmith
Following Monday's post where I unleashed the Musical Genius that is Brett Goldsmith on you, we have been inundated with positive feedback and enquiries about my new fave musician. If you haven't read about Brett yet, take a look at the article here. He has a great story and an awesome talent to share with the world. In response to numerous requests, Brett has kindly donated another song for our listening pleasure. Thanks Brett. The link to this song will be active for a couple of weeks, so take a listen and feel free to download it and share it with your friends. I love this song. Take a listen to 100 Mileshere (total playing time 3:18 min).
National Tour Update
Yep, plans for our Road Trip are well under way (Hey Johnny, do we get a bus?). We will be changing the Adelaide date from Sunday, Sept. 21 to Saturday, Sept. 20 as the Sunday clashes with the City to Bay Run. We're still exploring the viability of Hobart and at this stage Canberra is looking like a no-go. Sorry. Venues and booking details for all the workshops will be posted next week.
A New Book
I'm currently working on a new book. It's going to be a short-ish (60-80 pages), easy-to-read, paperback and hopefully it will be available before Christmas. Still exploring my publishing options at the minute. Not sure if we're gonna go the self-publishing route or try to shop it around to the publishing houses. I've done both before. Obviously it will be a personal development book and more than likely it will be politically incorrect, moderately offensive and completely frowned upon by the grammar police. It may also be insightful and relevant for many of you. The working title of the book is Overcoming You and in it I will address that nasty habit we have of sabotaging our own lives.
Lesson for the Day - Perseverance.
Some of you have heard me talk about the fact that many gyms in Australia have an 'active membership' of about fifteen percent. In simple terms this means that for every one hundred current (paid up) members, eighty five of them haven't set foot in the gym in the last four weeks (for most, it's much longer). Have you ever wondered why gyms can sell memberships to way more people than their facility can actually accommodate? Because gym owners understand behavioural psychology, that's why. They know that the majority of people (new members) will make decisions that they will never follow through on (over the long term). They simply won't turn up. Once the initial rush of enthusiasm fades (and it always does), so too do the workouts for most people. It's what we humans do. It's a big part of why we fail. And a big part of our frustration. Time after time, we start things that we never finish. Great plans, good intentions... no commitment. When the going gets tough (or mildly uncomfortable)... we're gone. Great at starting... shit at actually getting the job done. We always find a way to quit. And then we find a way to rationalise our quitting. Again. And again. It's what we do. There's always next time.
If we really want to create forever change (whatever the goal is) then at some stage we need to realise that success often has very little to do with talent, skill, opportunity, resources, potential or even motivation (it comes and goes) and everything to do with finishing what we start. It's a simple but often overlooked success principle. Creating our best life ain't rocket science but we continue to find new and creative ways to waste our potential and make the process more complex than it needs to be. Plenty of talented people have spent their lives under-achieving because they never persevered. They almost achieved plenty.
Don't be one of them.
Let Brett know what you think of his song, share your thoughts or just say hi by clicking on the comment thingy...
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.
