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.

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.

The Fat Man Cometh...
G'day Kids.

Well, the Fat Man Cometh in just eight days(eth) and I gotta say, I've been a very good boy so I'm expecting big things from the endomorph in the red suit this time around. Sure he's let me down in recent years, but this year I've been a perfect little blogger so the Big Bloke better cough up. If he knows what's good for him. "Dear Santa, I know where you live, I love reindeer steaks, I have satellite navigation and I'm not afraid to use it - once I figure out how it works". After all, this time of year is all about the presents and who am I to challenge tradition or to deprive someone of the gift of giving? To me. Being the needy, attention-seeking, single, dysfunctional only child with too many issues to mention, it's very important that my fragile self esteem gets a boost, which is why I'm giving the Fat Toy Maker an opportunity to make this (not so) little and lonely boy, very happy by showering him (er, me) with cool stuff.

Sans Lesson

As you may have guessed, no life-changing lesson today (although technically a lesson can't change anyone), just some random and unnecessary silly-ness, a news report and a me-dot-com update of sorts...

New Promo Video

As a professional speaker, companies (potential clients) and speaking agencies are always requesting a 'show reel' (a brief video snapshot) of me doing what I do. Kind of like having a spray of a perfume or after-shave before you commit to the fragrance. Or don't commit as the case may be. Anyway, over the last month or so, my media-techno-editing-sound-genius guy Chris, has been putting together a new show reel for Johnny to send out to enquirers and potential clients. You can take a peek at what Chris has put together by clicking on the video at top right of the home page. To be honest, it kinda makes me a little uncomfortable to watch but keep in mind that that's what a show reel like this is meant to be; a montage of me. Good grief. Let me know if you think it's (1) cheesey (2) horrible (3) okay (4) good (5) other...

A Payment Plan for RYL

We have received a bunch of emails and phone calls from people who want to come along to our RYL in May but need more time to organise their finances. Several people have enquired about the idea of us offering a payment scheme whereby a series of monthly payments can be made instead of a one-off payment. Always happy to oblige, Johnny has set it up as a booking and payment option. You can learn more about that here (you will need to scroll down the page a little). By the way, at our current rate of bookings, the program will probably be fully booked (one hundred places) by about late January. Perhaps earlier. As I write this, we have thirty eight people booked and paid in full.

Book Winners from Monday's Post

So on Monday you were asked to share a little of your personal motivation with the rest of us. I said that I would give away a few signed copies of Fattitude for the three sayings, quotes, mantras (etc.) I like the most. Yes, they were all good and yes, it's a completely subjective thing but here are my three faves anyway...

"The effort you make in trying to solve a problem is often worth more than obtaining the answer." (from Carol Jasenko) I like this because the journey (not the destination) is where we grow, learn, adapt, change and improve. Invariably the destination will let us down and disappoint, but the journey will transform us.

"If you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live"? (from Di) This is self explanatory, simple and so true. Yet, so over-looked. I love this quote.

"Be yourself because everybody else is taken" (from Sue) In a world where everyone is trying to find themselves, we need to start looking in the right place; within. The only person you can ever be is you, so stop wasting your time trying to become something or someone you're not. Rather, become a better version of YOU.

Well done to Carol, Di and Sue. You three need to email your details to us via the site so the Bald Man can send you each a little Christmas present. Ho, ho, ho.

A Holiday for Me

So the blogoholic is going to crawl into his cyber-cave for a brief sabbatical from the blogosphere over the hols. That's right, I will be hanging up my keyboard (temporarily) and heading to the beach house from Wednesday, December 24 (last post on that day) and I'll be back on deck blogging my little ass off from Monday, January 5. That means a Craig-free Christmas for you! Phew.

Okey doke, that's about it for another day. Feel free to share a comment, thought, idea or even some feedback on the cheesey show reel. Enjoy your Thursday Groovers and while everyone else is succumbing to the (self-induced) Christmas chaos, choose to be the calm in the middle of the storm.
