Many
nutritional experts confuse people with their jargon
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.

Well, the launch of our two-day RYL has created huuuuge interest. We have even had a few emails from people who are considering travelling to the program from other countries! Freaky. Within thirty minutes of the information going on the site, we had four people book in. Cool! Gotta say, I'm really excited about this particular program. I know it's going to be a life-changing weekend for a lot of people. I hope you can make it along.
December 5 Already!!
Well, another working week draws to a close and we slide into the weekend with excitement, optimism and expectation. Or perhaps, complete exhaustion. Can you believe it's December 5? Yowza!! As the end of the year looms large, it sometimes feels like we're stumbling towards the finishing line of 2008 doesn't it? So much to do and so little time. Seems like that anyway. While it should be a time of celebration, joy and family, it often proves to be anything but that. It's also the time of year when some of us get all deep, philosophical, reflective and momentarily spiritual about life, love, relationships, God and of course, why we're here; our purpose. That's not always a bad thing; providing we do more than merely think and analyse.
The Cosmic Download
While some people will spend (waste) their entire life waiting for their 'life purpose' to be miraculously revealed to them in some kind of mystical, magical, life-defining moment, for the majority of us mere mortals, that probably ain't gonna happen. And that's okay; we don't live in a Disney movie, we live down here on Earth with the rest of the group. You and I may actually need to figure it out all by ourselves. We might have to steer our own ship, shape our own reality and determine our own destiny. Personally, I love that thought. While some believe their purpose is somehow cosmically pre-ordained (chosen) for them, I believe we get to choose what our purpose will be and then build a life around that choice. Sadly, some people will spend their entire life waiting for a mystical, magical revelation (cosmic download) that never arrives.
Another Year Down... Nearly.
The truth is that many (many) people struggle at this time of year. That's sad. And not only because of the loneliness thing (which is massive), but also because of the "another year has passed and I'm still living the same life, with the same problems, the same destructive habits, the same frustrations, the same crappy mindset, the same lack of purpose and producing the same undesirable results in my world" ... thing.
'Tis the Season to be... Practical.
While we (understandably) have a tendency to lean towards the deep and meaningful at this time of year, I'm suggesting (for those of us who want to do, be and create better) that we also lean towards the realistic, the logical and the practical; the "what do I need to change about my thinking, my habits, my standards and my behaviour RIGHT NOW to make 2009 the best year of my life?"
Typical Behaviour
What normally happens at this time of year is some, or all, of the following: we drink too much, spend too much, eat too much, lie in the sun too much (in Australia anyway) and make a bunch of resolutions that we ultimately don't follow through on for more than a few weeks. At the end of every year we talk about how different our life is going to be next year; even though we had the exact same thoughts, conversations and intentions this time last year (and the ten years before that). We keep doing the same things and hoping for a different outcome. Good luck with that.
You the Problem. You the Solution.
Your best life ain't about fate, destiny, chance, karma, luck, cosmic downloads, resolutions or dates on a calendar. It's all about you as a person; the decision maker, the communicator, the problem solver, the doer. If you are serious about making 2009 your best year (whatever that means for you personally), then you need to take a serious look at what you did and didn't do (and why) in 2008. If you take the same mindset, standards and behaviours into 2009, you'll produce similar results to this year or worse.
Excellence produces excellence, Grasshoppers.

P.S. Tonight (Friday) between seven and ten (Melbourne time) I will be taking off my various other hats and putting on my radio host headphones and pretending that I'm a sports broadcaster for a few hours on 1116am SEN radio here in Melbourne. I will be filling in for the regular host; Mark Fine and acting like I know what I'm on about. For the first hour of the show I will be in the studio chatting with Australian netballer, Bianca Chatfield. If you have nothing better to do (as if), tune in (you can listen on-line also), have a laugh and feel free to ring in and chat with me live on air! The talk-back number is (03) 9429 1116.
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.
