It has begun!!

I guess some of you might be wanting to know more about the challenge than just my facebook status updates give away. Besides, that's my version of the challenge!

So here's how it works:

It doesn’t have to be about doing something drastic. It needs to be a commitment to making a difference.

You might want to pull out all the stops and do everything possible to be your ABSOLUTE best in 12 weeks. Or you might prefer to look long term and use my 12 week challenge as the first step in sculpting your lifestyle to be healthy forever, by implementing small changes, week by week.

We can work it how you want it. I’ll design this with you. It’s an individual program which is specific to your needs. The essentials remain the same:

·         We track your diet and teach you how to eat properly to optimize your body function.

·         We schedule your exercise routines and get you active, moving, breathing and burning.

·         I keep you focussed and on track.

·         I monitor your progress and record your results.

And those results are universal. You WILL have a better body in 84 days.

What you need to do:

1.       Nominate a start date.

2.       Maintain a food and exercise journal until such time as we are both satisfied that you know how to eat and properly to achieve your goals. Nominate your preference - paper or online.

3.       Commit to a weekly weigh-in around the same time one morning each week and submit the results.

4.       Submit a weekly exercise schedule to me – in advance.

5.       Accept my weekly challenges and homework tasks.

My Commitment to YOU:

·         If you’ve selected an online food and exercise journal, I’ll create that account for you and get you set up.

·         I’ll track your progress, keep score and reward your efforts!

·         I’ll keep it interesting! No 2 workouts with me will ever be the same, and no 2 weeks of your challenge will ever be the same.

·         I’ll send you new information and resources every week to educate and motivate you.

·         I will be there for you. If you need your hand held, I’ll do it. If you need an ear, I’ll listen. If you need advice I’ll give it!

·         I WILL support and encourage you and I WILL NOT let you down.

If there’s anything else you need, please tell me! I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I want you to succeed and I’m here to help!

On The Eve of my 12 Week Challenge!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to 2010 :)

I trust we've all had a fantastic break. I know *mine* was indulgent and spectacular, but as of tomorrow, all that is going to change.

Tomorrow, I'm starting my own 12 week challenge. 84 days from tomorrow, on Monday, March 29th, I want to look in the mirror, stand on the scale and be 100% certain that I look and feel the best I have ever looked. I want to be the fittest, leanest and meanest me that anyone has ever seen. And I want to stay that way for the rest of my life.

I'm planning my workouts for the next week, and I'm starting off with 6 days of strict detox. No refined flours, no sugars except those in fruit, no red meat, no dairy, no numbers or anything artificial. I'll be eating loads of fresh fruit and veg, silken tofu, organic malt free soy milk, chick peas, lentils and beans.

I'd go for longer, but on January 10th I have a 'girls picnic' planned at the winery. No problem! I have a strategy for coping with that. Food events just signal that I have to do an hour of hard workout on both the day, as well as the day after the event. That's all planned. Everything is negotiable and forewarned is fore-armed!

I have loads of other strategies to help get me through the challenge, a weekly weigh in to keep me accountable and a support network to hold me to it, too.

I also have a whole stack of online resources I'll be taking advantage of to keep me motivated and informed on how to eat clean and be healthy.

I will gladly share these with strategies and online resources with you, as well as inform you of my progress - just respond and say you're interested - but better yet:
