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.

ch.com update - Jan, 30 2009
Hot, Hot, Hot

Well, mother nature (or whoever is responsible for the weather in your belief system) has thrown us Victorians a major curve ball this week. By eight o'clock this morning it will be about 35C (95F) here in downtown Melbourne. We are currently in the middle of the hottest week our state has seen (okay, felt) for the last one hundred years (according to the experts) and our South Australian brothers and sisters are going through the same thing. They say it may even be a little hotter over there today. I'd send you all a hug but it's too hot for that. In Melbourne we're heading for a top of 43C (109.4F) by about midday. Yesterday we reached a lazy 44.3C (111.7F). For my international readers (to keep you in the loop), right now much of Australia is in severe drought - the worst in our history - and as a result, we are on extreme water restrictions. No watering of gardens or lawns, no washing of cars or machinery, no filling of pools, three minute showers and a bunch of other restrictions. In an effort to conserve water and do my bit for the environment, I've been showering with at least three friends each morning.

If only Johnny wasn't one of them.

To all my hot readers today (take that however you like), stay out of the sun, don't exercise outdoors (if at all), consciously hydrate (even if you don't feel thirsty) and don't allow yourself to get stressed, anxious, frustrated or angry about the heat. Preliminary studies suggest that getting grumpy (weather rage) doesn't actually lower the ambient temperature but does in fact annoy the crap out of everyone around you. Who would have guessed?

Okay, on with some me-dot-com news...

Q and A Posts

As you may have guessed, I get a bunch of emails. I try to answer as many as possible but if I answered all of them the way that I would like to (in great detail), I would spend twenty six hours per day doing nothing else. Clearly not an option. I have decided that once a month (or so) I will answer questions from readers right here on the site. In effect, the questions will become the basis for my daily article. If this idea works and it proves to be a popular addition to the site, I'll do it more often. The chances are that if you have an issue or challenge, then other people are going through something very similar. So, if you have a question that in some way relates to creating better results and positive change in your world, feel free to send it through. Yes it can be specific and personal and yes we will omit your name (etc.) if you prefer. Just click on the email Craig thingy near my boof head (top left of the home page). Depending on the response to this concept, the first Q and A article could be up next week.

Win a Place at our two-day RYL

Last week, something amazing happened. One of my regular readers, someone who is already coming to our May RYL, got on-line and booked (and paid in full for) another place in the program. The next day I received an email from this lady saying that she would like to offer this $595.00 place to someone who (1) genuinely can't afford to be there (2) desperately wants and needs to be involved in the program and (3) would greatly benefit from an opportunity such as this. Gotta say, this gesture almost brought a tear to my eye because this kind person is not particularly wealthy, has challenges of her own, yet at the same time is working desperately hard to 'be the change' and to impact the lives of others in a practical, real and measurable way. So if you meet the above criteria and you'd like to send us a hundred words (or so) click on the 'email Craig' thingy and your submission will be read and considered. By the way, we're not looking for wacky, clever, creative submissions. And neither are we interested in how 'well' you write; we're interested in your situation and your reasons for wanting to be involved in the program.

But Wait, There's More...

I've decided that, if our winner comes from any (Australian) state other than Victoria (which is a distinct chance), I will pay for the return air fares. By the way, to make this fair, our philanthropic reader will peruse the submissions and make the ultimate decision. And no, she won't know what state people are from, so everyone has an equal chance. I don't care if the winner is from down the street or from Cairns. The most deserving person will be chosen.

Biggest Loser Australia

As most of you know, I work on Channel Ten here in Oz as the resident Fitness Bloke and Life Renovator for the 9AM show. Anyway, I was contacted by the station last week and asked to be the on-line life-coach dude for the Biggest Loser website. I'll be doing basic (short-ish) question/answer stuff for home viewers. My first installment should be on the BLA site next week.

New T-Shirts

After about a million requests, the bald man and I are finally getting some new, mildly amusing me-dot-com T-Shirts. They are at the screen printer as I write and will be for sale on the site next week. They are quality cotton shirts and have those deeply moving and inspiring words "SUCK IT UP PRINCESS'" emblazoned across the chest. You may also find our web address in teeny weeny letters underneath. Surely a must-have wardrobe addition for all sooks.

On-line PT

Here at me-dot-com we are often asked about remote Personal Training. That is, being trained via phone, Skype and/or email. Obviously not everyone has physical access to a great gym or a quality fitness professional. Until now this service is not something that we've offered in a significant way but that's about to change. Next week I'm going to introduce you to the newest member of my team; one of Australia's leading trainers who is about to head up the on-line personal training arm of our business. I'm a little excited. Stay tuned...

Enjoy your weekend Groovers. Group Hug ( )

As always, let me know your thoughts, say hi, send a little cyber-love or share a (brief) story. If you're not sure how to leave a comment, click here.

Are you sick of the bossy people in your world? Well, this T-shirt could solve all of your problems and change your life. But then again, probably not. Order your shirt here.
