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.

At about five-ish yesterday afternoon (Melbourne time) our site went off the air. So to speak. Something to do with exceeding our band width (whatever that means) and Johnny not paying bills. Apparently he's been spending the profits on beer and pizza. And a small condo in the Bahamas. So for a few hours we were out of the Blogosphere and homeless. I almost had to find a real job. After all, what's a blogger without a blog? Just a bloke I guess.
"But blogging is not who you are Craig, it's what you do." Correct Grasshoppers. That was a test. Anyway, it appears that we're out of the woods and it's all fixed. Hope so, I'd hate to have to write individual letters to you all each day. That could be time consuming and kinda tiring. Not to mention, expensive. That's a funny thing we do isn't it; we say "not to mention"... and then we mention it!
I digress. Again.
A Me Update
Pretty busy week for the ex-fat kid, with a few speaking gigs, some media stuff, a trip to Darwin and a bunch of other business appointments on the to-do list. Sometimes being a grown-up is so demanding and responsible. I've heard. I'd be excited about my Darwin trip (never been there) but I arrive at 12:50am Friday, hopefully in bed by 2:00am-ish, breakfast at 7:00am, meeting with my employer (for the day) at 8:30am, presenting a workshop for one hundred financial planners from 9am to midday, a little lunch, packing and travel between 12:30 and 1:45pm, and then I fly out at 2:45pm. With any luck I should be in a coma, dribbling on some stranger's shoulder and making some of those weird-ass sleeping noises by about 3:oopm. That's the plan anyway. I head home via Sydney and finally touch down in Melbourne at 11:50(!) Friday night. And of course I'm up at 6:00am Saturday for my weekend radio show. Stupid I know. But so much fun.
More Update...
Don't ask, I just thought we needed a new paragraph! Anyway... thanks for all your kind words and support for Michelle from yesterday's post. I spoke to her and she was stoked (happy) with the support and the cyber-love. She's ace. For you home-bodies (who live in Oz), I will be on Channel Ten this morning talking about 'Healthy Foods that Aren't' (from last week's post). I will be on at about 10:45(ish), so if you're really bored, you wanna see me wearing make-up and you're near a TV, take a peek. Also, the 'Day in the Life of Me' post is on it's way. I will have it up in the next week... ish. I best pick an interesting day, otherwise I might scar (or scare) you all with some of those horrible mental images of me blogging in my undies for eight hours. Gotta say, some days of my life are more interesting than others!
Why I love blogging...
I love blogging for lots of reasons but at the top of my list is the positive influence that this medium allows me to have into people's lives. We are all works in progress, we're all dysfunctional on some level (the one's who think they aren't, are the worst) and we're all trying to create our best life. For me it's an honour to be a teeny, weeny part of your journey and it still blows me away when I receive amazing letters and comments, like these two I received yesterday:
From an anonymous reader via email:
I don't know how to thank you enough Craig. I'm so glad I happened upon your website. At a time when I felt like things couldn't get any worse in my life, somehow your site picked me back up and made me who I am now. I've read over half of your articles now, and every day I try to read more. I attribute where I am now, in my relationship, work status, and overall attitude, to your teachings. I thought I had lost the best thing that had happened to me and I was crushed, and in fact when I started to read through your articles, and started to change my attitude on my way of life, and how I go about day to day, I got it back. It's truly amazing how being a positive person and enjoying each day for what its worth can be so attractive. One thing that I am working on more than anything else is communication. Ive read all your (communication) articles so far, and I'd like to see more. Once again Craig, thank you.
* I didn't write it, honest!
And from a commenter:
Dear Craig, I cannot begin to let you know how much you've changed the way I see things. You are one of a kind and god bless you.
Jc from Quebec
Wow! How fortunate am I to have the opportunity to be able to connect with so many cool, kind, loving and generous people from all over the world on a daily basis? Well, today it's my turn to say thanks to you, my readers. I want to tell you all that I genuinely appreciate your feedback, your kind words, your encouragement, your support, your emails and every one of your comments. You have helped me build this amazing resource and community over the last two years and intentionally or not, you are helping me create one of the best free personal development resources in the world by being a supporter and a promoter of craigharperdotcom. And to all of you hard-core supporters who are constantly 'selling' my site to anyone who'll listen, a special thanks to you. This time two years ago, I had about five visitors to the site per week (in a very busy week) and two of them were my parents! As I write this, we are hovering around the 70,000 readers per week mark and growing. Yowza! It is my goal to keep building the site, to keep learning, growing, improving and challenging myself to be a better teacher, writer and coach. It's also my goal to inspire, provoke, stimulate and challenge you to create your best life. And to periodically kick your ass.
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.
